I dont know why you are blaming Gmail for this, Im using a completely different SMTP server and having the same problem. The servers are accepting post most of the time. Its only when we use this copy and paste that things go wrong. Gmail is not closing the connection, true but the likely cause to my mind is that Pmail isnt terminating its part as it should. The copy and paste has knocked something out of kilter. 

I have been experiencing similar problems here in the U.S. over the past few days. Coincidentally, my ISP uses Yahoo mail.

If you are trying to open the pdf attachment by double clicking or selecting the "Open" in the attachment pane try restarting Pegasus Mail.

If that isn't the problem, can you open a .pdf by double clicking on the filename from within Windows Explorer?  If not, the systems file association for the .pdf extension is broken.

As a last resort you can go to Tools > Options > Incoming mail > Content viewers and add an entry for the .pdf extension.  Select the "Run this program" option and browse to select the Adobe executable.

Thanks; got POP3 to work after some experimentation.

I have... of course!... an addressbook in my Pegasus setup.

Let's say, for arguement, I have entries (in the "Name" field) for....

       ABC Taxis

       Brown- Fred- home

       Brown- Fred- work

       Chester Library

Now... with such an address book, if I type "Brow", Pegasus helpfully offers one of the Browns' entries. If it is the RIGHT one, I can just tab to the "Subject" field, and get on with doing the email. If Pegasus offered Brown- Fred- home, but I wanted Brown- Fred- work, I just keep typing the contact name I want, and when I get to "Brown- Fred- w", Pegasus switches from the Brown it was proposing before to the other one. NOW I can just press tab, and proceed as before.

So far so good. All that works nicely for me.

But.

Let's say that at the moment, Pegasus proposes "Brown- Fred- home" when I type "Brow".... but I want the other one to be the first "Brow..." offered:

I've tried all sorts of things... for hours... several times over the years... none of the "usual tricks" work. (For instance, putting an extra hyphen in one of the names sometimes does the trick (if you add it to the right one!) in some apps, but not(?) Pegasus.)

Can anyone spot what I'm missing under Pegasus? How to make something the first entry offered? I even try re-sorting the display AND re-indexing the book after making edits to the "Name" fields (I'm using Pegasus 4.63 in a Windows 7 machine. And 4.52 in an XP machine. (Only still on 6.52 there because that installation is older, and I abhor upgrading WORKING systems! (But yes, I do apply OS and browser upgrades!!)).

(While writing: Newbie beware: Don't us a comma in a "Name" field for an addressbook record. I.e. Don't put "Brown, Fred- home" in an addressbook)

I just download Pegasus Mail 4.7 from the S3 site, and AVG did not find anything wrong with the Exe distribution file.

Nothing detected by Avira either.

PML. Edit with Notepad or similar.

An update to the plugin spellchecker, InsPMDic,  is now available. The following link shows the location of the download area to be used.

I found these out (not sure if this might help others);

When I installed a new version of Pegasus in Windows 8 sometimes "PMAIL" installed by itself and sometimes both "PMAIL" and "Admin PMAIL" are installed.

When both are installed, there seems to be problems with copying old files and setting up POP3 and SMTP.  

When PMAIL (only)  is install, the path is; C:\PMAIL\MAIL\ADMIN

I was able to setup  POP3 and SMTP and copy backup .pmm/.pmi files in the "MAIL" directly and it worked.

All is working now but there seems to be something with the directory that Pegasus is installed in and also the ADMIN component of the installation.

Thanks all!

Problem solved! 

General follow up....I have since downgraded back to v.4.63 and all is fine again.  I can easily compose a new email while downloads are in progress; or while Pegasus is checking for new mail, I can still open and close or delete messages.  Something in v.4.7 is preventing that from happening.

 D-mon

Never mind... back to the delays.  It did seem to help for a few hours if that's a clue... 

Thank you Caisson and Bfluet.... I got the issue resolved.  I reinstalled Pegasus on the Windows 8 machine again and did the set up using the same POP and SMTP settings and it worked.

 I believe it was an installation issue. Cant say for sure but something to do with the fact that there was no "Pmail admin" installed this time. There seem to be some "rights" issue. It could also be some corrupt files during installation.

Thanks. 

Hi

I think you are misunderstanding me. The line (in the Distribution List) contained the following (although I have anonymized the name):

 "Name N. Name" <xxx@.yyyy.com>

 What you probably can't see here is the space character at the front of the line!

And that space character made Pegasus ignore that email address!

Ostensibly the problem is with your username and/or password, however you can also try taking out CRAM-MD5 by checking that box in the security tab.

Do something with a Quick action.

e.g.,
Create a general rule set to:
Always 'Set colour to 'Bright/Dark red'
Always Copy to 'Some Folder'

Define a Quick action to:
Apply a set of filtering rules to the message
(using the above general rule set).

Select the desired messages and press the Ctrl+#
to both colour and copy the messages.

The server definitions might not be properly set.

Can you receive mail?

Enable session logs to get a better idea of whats happening (Tools | Internet options | Create internet session logs)

Read the associated help files before you do so.

Pegasus Mail is an extremely powerful and flexible email client but not one that is "fun" like what you are looking for.  No smileys/emoticons, no sounds, no stationary.  Available fonts are the system fonts.

Sure I can delete temp files by myself and I can set us some task to delete such files on schedule as well.

But I am afraid you are missing the point. I suspect that handling of temp files might be broken  in PM4.7 (at least for IMAP folders) that's why I think that should be addressed or overhauled in next ver. 

Thank you, Brian.

I did as you said and it worked. Both the main window and the child i.e. an opened email. For a long while I had been maximising that as well and thought that's the way it had to be.

 So I'm very grateful to you.
