hello,

I am just wondering why the latest version of pegasus mail is not listed in the "Downloads" - section  (link at the top)?

I always have to google and then finally find the most updated webpage that gives all the latest officially released builds here: http://www.pmail.com/downloads_s3_t.htm


why is that?

In my case I select and try to open about 10-20 mails at the same time. My folders are usually IMAP. Might be that some internal background processes like mailbox polling or perhaps changing the window focus are influencing this.

As I said the issue happens seemingly intermittently with about 50-50 chance for myself. Cannot figure out the pattern.

Hi all

I am using Pegasus for Windows  v. 4.7 and Windows 8. 

When I use a standard Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V  with a normal message, it does not work at all. I can not paste the text in another new mail or even any other windows application (Word, etc). I have to change to RAW view in the message and then copy/paste. It works, then; however, it is useless as it incorporates several symbols.

This Ctr-C/Ctr-V used to work allways in Pegasus (I have used this mail program for several years), of course, but I do not know which is the problem that is really fastidius.

Anyone has had similar problems, or it comes from my own PC.

Thanks to anyone that can help me 

Jesus

Hello!

You would be better off by restricting users ability to initiate SMTP and POP3/IMAP protocols outside the company internal network. Leave the ports associated with email traffic open in firewall towards internet for your corporate mail server only.

Note that it still leaves open the possibility to create in Pmail another identity (of a coworker for example) and send emails via coproprate mail server by pretending to be somebody else. So You should also look how to close down this possibility in your corporate smtp server as well.

First of all, make sure the default Text printer is set as the Windows default printer. Then for any other application select the printer of choice and save the selection in the application.  But...... if the printer is not set on, any other application will have a problem that causes the printer selection dialog to pop up. Pretty much the same hassle. Pegasus Mail needs to check the printer metrics and font capabilities in order to display/print anything on a screen or printer.

Better to check the printer is on and network connected when you boot your PC.  Just use Notepad to print a sample page on the network printer.

Sorry for posting here,

 

I really don't know what section would be more appropriate.

Just wanted to post about how incredibly strong is Pmail Spam filter! It took just a little time to train it, but now it's just rock solid!

Thanks David for the great job.

[quote user="erchess"]1. For the immediate future how do I delete this email?[/quote]

Open its message properties (right mouse click on the message in its folder or F12 while selected) and check whether it's flagged as "read-only" (and if it is: I have no idea why ...).

[quote user="erchess"] 2. Why is it apparently acceptable that there are emails that can be sent but cannot be opened in our program?[/quote]

The error message you're trying to quote usually also says that you can open such a message on the attachments tab of the reader. Most probably it doesn't have any kind of readable text body but just an attachment which cannot be displayed in the reader window/pane.

Thanks for the feedback on NotSplit. I will arrange for an update to be put on Community shortly to deal with "self".

I'm also interested in detecting unusual non-printable byte codes in the decoded
strings.

Here is a sample 'From:' header line that is base64 encoded and contains non-
printable characters at the end of the decoded string:

From: "=?ISO-8859-1?B?MWluawEHBgYGAgIEAwY=?=" <plkxrwdo@deleted.net>

The base64 string decodes as hex :  31696E6B01070606060202040306
which becomes "1ink" followed by ten octet values between 1 and 9.

I'd like to filter on the presence of these encoded strings within header lines.
Neither an Expression filter using *ISO-8859-1* or more complex variants (headers
only), nor a Headers filter (for From and Subject) using "ISO-8859-1" trigger.

It could also be useful to detect the presence of unusual values in the decoded
strings, but there doesn't seem to be any regular expression to detect unusual
character codes in decoded header strings.

An expression filter for *1ink* triggers, suggesting the expression filter is
actually applied to the decoded string. I tried the expression [ -~]+, with
negation, thinking it would trigger on decoded strings containing character codes
below 0x20 (space), but it fails to trigger.  A simple negated expression of *
doesn't detect the abnormal header line either (I tried this in case the concept of
"character" would exclude the "non-characters" in the decoded base64 byte sequence,
so a simple negated '*' Expression (excluding the quotes) would trigger..

Any ideas?  I'm using using 4.63.

Oh really? Who are you and how do you know? I haven't seen any previous posts from you on this forum ever, so why should anyone trust you on anything? Any references?

Firstly, I hope you don't have to leave Pegasus, I'd encourage you to stay.

As for me, I have moved (after >20 years) from Pegasus. Perhaps temporarily, to Thunderbird.

(As yet, I don't find it as convenient)

I could not find a free utility to convert .PMM files to .MBX ones.

so I could export from Pegasus to Thunderbird  [  I'm on Windows Vista :-(  ]

I won't do it by hand inside Pegasus because I have too many folders to click on. (and I have backups too...)

So I wrote a command-line tool.  (which is easier for scripting and saves clicks)

And I thought I'd share it with Pegasus users.

Is there demand to go the other way, Thunderbird to Pegasus? EML to PMM ?

Firstly would anyone care to test it? It's only just out of alpha.

I can see where a few more features would be nice, but I don't have a variety of machines to test it on.

If it tests ok, how do I make it more widely available and let the relevant users know?

It should run under windows XP and up.  Linux is a "future feature". It looks possible though.

comments appreciated.

Is there demand to go the other way, Thunderbird to Pegasus?

Adding the -ROAM switch to the command line "tells Pegasus Mail that it should ignore the configured drive letter when locating user mailboxes and mail files, and should instead use the drive letter of the drive from which WINPM-32.EXE was run" (quoted from the help file).  In other words, it allows a copy of a Pegasus Mail installation to be run as a portable installation.  The command line switch would look something like F:\PMAIL\Programs\winpm-32.exe -roam -a. 

All that said, if the USB device will stay connected with a fixed drive letter then the -ROAM switch is not necessary.

Thank you, Sir.  I found a single ***.pmx file with 0 size.  I deleted that, and the phantom disappeared.

 

There were lots of ***.pnx files, but they all showed a size greater than 0.  They stayed.

Ok, Pegasus Mail appears to only accept formatted Rich Text (which IE creates automatically when coyping HTML to the clipboard). You can work around this by pasting the HTML into an OOo-Writer document, then copy the same stuff from OOo-Writer back to the clipboard which adds a Rich Text variant as well there that can be pasted into Pegasus Mail's TER editor leaving URLs intact.

OK. Thank you. That's doable, but somewhat cumbersome. :-)

I just want to thank all for their efforts. I just uninstalled  the program. I have never In my life had so much problems using an after market mail program as this. I know there's a better way. I will keep searching for something else. again, thanks
