Probably Telephone Message does predate both Identities and multiple signatures and that is why it uses INETSIG.P[M|N]S; it was the only signature file. Its a useful shortcut for phone messages in a shared office environment but it would be even better if it respected Identities and their attached signatures!

So not really a bug, more a limited feature set.

I think her problem will become apparent if you see the "Reply with option" screen.  First thing to do is to click the small arrow to the right of the Reply button.  Once there you will see the options for configuration of the Reply button. 

I like my Reply button set to the "Button does reply with option" setting.  In this setting, when the button is pressed a popup displays that allows for granular control of the reply.  I suspect things will make a bit more sense after seeing the popup and knowing about the other Reply button options.

I think that may have done it.  I don't know what changed that she never had this issue before, but going in there and selecting just the 'From' field under 'Send the reply to' seems to have done it.

Thanks a lot 

The Gmail servers can be problematic and this might be another temporary hiccough.

I can recall previous discussion about the first part of the error message, but in those instances the messages were being moved despite what was being said in the error message.

The second part of the error message is a mystery, as I can move (drag and drop) messages between IMAP and local folders, including the Inbox, without difficulty, so that part of the message does not appear to be valid.

See my post about using Pegasus on a NAS Server:

http://community.pmail.com/forums/post/42237.aspx

This should be no different if all the Pegasus files are on your local machine. 

You need to have a multi user installation, then set up your users and their associated identities.

Users are administered via " Addresses" menu, choose "User management".

 Note this shows the location of the main mailbox directory, which in our case is a mapped drive (S:) on our NAS Server.

You create "identities" under "Tools" "Identities".

You then add these identities to your User ID, and in that way you can manage multiple email incarnations with ease, even having different colours and fonts for each screen layout.

Hope this helps

[quote user="tomdriver"]I got the error again this morning.  Here is a screenshot showing the pop-up error message. Scroll it down to see the error message.[/quote]

Hm, no screenshot visible here. But aside from this: In my previous reply was a link to the instructions for handling crashes or hangs/freezes. As long as we don't get a crash dump as explained there we won't be able do figure out what actually causes this issue.

If you go to the main pull-down menu and select Window > Tile all of the open child windows will be tiled within the main window.  They will all be available to work in but will probably need to be manipulated in size and location to your liking.

All,

I just tried to use a "send text file" action in a folder open filter set only to discover that the identity associated with the folder was not used in forming the reply.  I am surprised by this only because I did not think about it before creating the rule.  I am not looking for a solution, I just wanted to share.

Hello good people,

I am the first to say that I can and have built every computer I have ever owned. However, I am definitely not clever when it comes to software. I have a desktop computer and use talktalk's own email service. This service has deteriorated to such an extent that I desperately need an email client on the computer. I have downloaded Opera email software, never have I come across software that is useless. I make no apology, it connects, downloads the emails, but thereafter it is so illogical in its operation that I have no alternative but to delete it and find a software that I can use. You cannot put emails into folders, you cannot print emails, all in all, the most useless software I have ever loaded.

Thank you,

regards,

derfledermause.

Ummmm that nice and all that, but what has it got to do with Pegasus Mail? 

[/quote]

Not a lot.  Unfortunately it is one of an increasing number of spurious posts that seem beyond the capacity of the forum managers to eradicate.

[quote user="Brian Fluet"]Partly.  The right-click functionality does not work in 4.70.  This is a known issue.  Address book edits work fine, or at least they should.  One oddity I have noticed it that when you change details like name and email address, those details do not immediately show up in the name list.  IIRC correctly, a reindex fixes it.
[/quote]

Thanks, Brian

I spoke the person having these issues and he reindexed the address Book and the edits did not stick but many duplicates appeared. I did not know about reindexing an Address Book so this is probably the first time this book has been reindexed since it was created in the mid-late 90's! I asked him to delete the problematic entries and recreate them.

Fab!

The pmj's [Folder_Open_Filters] section references the FOL0* names against the associated rule file's name (*.pmc). I can get the folder's FOL0* name from the Properties and the rule name from the pmc file.

Cheers!

Thank you Michael

I have turned that option off and while still not fast the message display is certainly quicker and I haven't had any problems with Pegasus hanging on start up since. I presume now that the problems I've been having are due to having an older computer and a not very fast internet connection.

[quote user="MageMaster"]The "right-click it and choose 'Recover deleted space'" does NOT work.  Keep getting 'mailbox open' error. Can't even delete folders.[/quote]

Did you try Guy's suggestion of using the "Pegasus Mail Mailbox Maintenance Utility" (PMail\Programs\mbxmaint_ui.exe) three posts before yours in this thread? The utiity can be found in Pegasus Mail's "Programs" subdirectory and will only succed after shutting down Pegasus Mail. If it doesn't work this way reboot your machine and try again without ever opening Pegasus Mail before.

Thank you, Brian. I will work on it and hope that I get everything back in the addressbook department. Thank you all for your help. It's just slog-work from here on in.

I have been using Pegasus for probably has many years as the product exists.

And now experiencing a problem I never seen before and I can't resolve myself :-(

Pegasus froze during a global mailbox search (probably stuck in a IMAP folder)

After I shut it off, I can't see the GUI unless I go in Windows processes and maximize PMAIL window.

Then in Pegasus, if I try to use it not maximized. It disappear :-(

 How can I reset the GUI size and position?

 Thanks

(System is running Win8.1)

 EDIT - I managed to solve it myself

1. Must use a process/task viewer to maximize the window in order to see the GUI (I use ProcessExplorer)
   
2. Right-Click on Taskbar and select show windows side by side [does not work if (1.) is not done]
3. Then you can play with size and location of the PMAIL GUI - Close Pegasus - Reopen it... All back to normal.

 WEIRD!

[quote user="Eshtaol"]....sometimes simple things stare you right in the face (or mouse)...LOL Thank you again[/quote]

... this is not the simplest way to solve. I have changed the appointed program responsible for "mailto:" links in my browser to Pegsaus.

For the current release of Firefox e.g.: menu > settings > applications > mailto: > choose "Pegasus Mail WSENDTO utility".

In case this WSENDTO could not be chosen, you have to set the path to the wsendto.exe program within your pegasus program folder.

Once adjusted properly, every click onto an email address in the internet will open Pegasus Mail automatically with the email address added into the To: box.

Greetings

Joerg

Thank you very much Brian.

I unchecked the box beside Use only SSLv3 and was able to send a test email successfully.

I will reset the timeout settings and continue to send emails.

I will report back again.  

Hello All,

 I've been using Pegasus for close to 20 years and just found out a huge problem with the "Find" function.

 If you use the dropdown box to select "Search all folders in the selected mailbox", it does NOT do so! Specifically the "New mail" folder is not searched!

 Big bummer. I've been doing bogus searches for years and not realized it.

The only way to actually search ALL of the folders is to start your search while in the "New mail" folder, then select "Search the current folder and all folders at the same level", then check the box "Search folders contained in sub-folders as well".

In other words, for some reason the search function does NOT consider the "New mail" folder to actually be a folder, unless you start the search from within it....

 This applies to version 4.7, build 546, which I believe is the current version. I do not know if prior version are also affected.

I am going to post this in the feature request forum as well. (Probably breaking a cross-posting rule... sorry!)

Thought 1:  The setting you refer will not affect a message that you are already working on.  It becomes effective in the next message editor window that is opened. 

Thought 2:  The setting is identity specific

[quote user="idw"]IOW: The installer "got confused" by mismatching path information. Would you you be willing to test a modfication if I can figure out one, Brian?[/quote]

Certainly [/quote]

I've now modified the installer for using the provided install path instead of the one from the Registry if they differ. Can you please send me an email via IER's About ... dialog so I can send you the (zipped) installer? IER itself hasn't been modified and keeps its version number, and I haven't added a note the history file either, yet.

[quote user="senrdev"]I use version 4.6 and just to see last week I installed 4.7 - less crashes

but still can't move emails when using XP, same behaviour on that issue[/quote]

In general it is recommended to use the most recent versions of PM and all possibly involved modules, for dealing with crashes see .

For the mail move issue see here.
