Hi Robert,

Have a similar problem with my queued mail, whether single msgs or per distribution list. I have a single msg queued, then as I send it the bottom info line changes to 2 messages, then as the message is being transmitted, it changes briefly to 3 messages before reverting to 'sent'. I have sent myself some test messages, and these ALWAYS arrive in duplicate.

Anybody out there got any suggestions? Help would be greatly appreciated

Arne

Fixed. Thank you very much for the quick help - fantastic. It's been annoying me for years:-)

Well, I got it working as desired! Set up POP3 and disabled it. Set up IMAP and tried it to make sure it was working. Enabled POP3. Now IMAP starts and shows all the remote folders and the number of files in each; there is a slight pause and then POP3 starts and downloads everything from the remote INBOX to the local one. Life is good!

bfluet, I rarely find, even after about 30 years stating with BBS's, that the stating curve gets any easier.  Every Email software I have played with to date uses different terminology, for example for Connection Security and Authentication, and it was even worse when I was writing some VB.NET code to cover these same needs.    I have started "pulling" from two POP3 servers and created a couple of filters so that messages from each go into their own message folder.  Definitely a lot of trial and error in my case.  Now I will watch and be sure that I send Replies using the corresponding SMTP server for that Identity.  

You mention my use of a single mail folder on my LAN that I use with Thundbird and indicate I will have that same capability with Pegasus, possibly even better with its built-in record locking.  I will tackle that next because it is important to me.  Our method of operation right now (wife and I) is to keep Thunderbird running on one computer all day long, sticking our heads in the den to see if anything new has arrived. I however I spend much of my time working on the other computer and would love to be able to send email from it without having to shutdown the copy running on the other computer.  Hey, that computer is six feet away.   

Thanks for your thorough review of features which I will save and continue to review until I get up further on that curve.

Was not aware when making corrections to Names in an address book we need to ReIndex that book. I have solved this issue by removing the record of the address book, not a large address book at that, and rerecorded that record and all has been AOK since. When correcting that addy name I also clicked the 'Apply' next to the 'Send Mail' thought this was like accepting the correction, I guess it did not work that way.

Will use the ReIndex of the addy book next time.

You do not need to do anything with Pegasus Mail regarding MAPI. What you may have to do is set the Default mailer to something else, and that would be done by the other application. It involves updating the system registry, and unless you are comfortable with doing that, I would not suggest you do it yourself.[/quote]

It's pretty easy on Windows 7: Open the Control center page for setting default applications (I'm translating from German so I don't know the exact names). Next select the option for setting a default application (the first one on my system). The list should contain Pegasus Mail, and after selecting it you'll see two options for changing default settings: Please select the one offering to select standards for Pegasus Mail (the second one on my machine). After doing so you'll see a screen like shown below where you may change whatever option you want.

There are several ways to go about doing this.  The easiest is to create a Windows directory which will be where the messages will be archived to then add that directory to the Pegasus Mail folder list as an added mailbox.  Now move all of the messages and folders that you want to archive to that added mailbox.  You can then leave that mailbox connected or disconnect/reconnect as needed.

I have a large multi-function machine in storage that will allow us to name each scanned file, but this one is a pretty basic machine (Brother 9840CDW) and the only way you can change the file name is through the web interface, which would be a bigger hassle than it's worth.  We may need to dig out the old machine if we can't figure out a good alternative.

There is a whitepaper available in the downloads area of this site that you may find helpful.

Review it then post back with specific questions. 

Hi Martin. Thanks again for your help.  That help, suggesting that I was not really using IERenderer was key. IDW suggested how to find out if IERenderer was enabled by clicking the Pegasus Mail HTML Renderer icon in the toolbar and I found that it wasn't. When trying to click a to activate IERenderer I got a message to close Folder Manager and windows that are open, then try again. It worked. Now Amazonand MedMD are properly rendered. Again, thanks a lot.

Thanks, Peggy! Got the job done!!

Dear Martin Schnabel, [:)]

Thank you for your instructions.  [Y] But this could not be the solution.  I support different people who uses Pmail. Some people are using Pmail for business use with removable devices on different PC where no Pmail is locally installed. Unfortunately some had Strato as webhoster. And Strato will only support SSL V3. These people had not the knowledge and time to use stunnel ore something other. And of couse they cannot install stunnel on a foreign PC……

So the Question is: Can anyone say, when Pmail will support SSL V3 directly?

Regards 

Peggy [W]

It sure does.  There a numerous threads about the fixed font sizes used in Pegasus Mail.  This includes the font in the toolbars, new mail header fields and preferences and settings windows just to name a few.  The only practical option that I know of is to reduce the screen resolution.  I reduced mine to 1600x900.  Fonts are still small but I find it the best balance between Pegasus Mail usability and how it affects other apps.

A child- or subwindow is window within the window of a program.

Click Window -> Cascade and you'll have them not maximized.

Thanks, Olaf - it works!!!! All this years of frustration ended at last!!! 

The first thing is to check with (plead with) your IT folk to see if the IMAP gateway on Outlook\MsExchange is set up.

You might be interested in a beta version of my program Pmadrvcf, which converts Pegasus Mail address books into Vcards. You can download it from

[quote user="coltswalker"]The reasoning for my needing this is important, and I have no way to correct the GMT = all zeros glitch. I can, however, ask if there is a way to get Pegasus to sort by the first time string in the header line as opposed to the GMT portion. I need to be able to read these messages in order, it is critical.

Please advise. Thank you. [/quote]

There's no such option. Someone might be able to code an extension or external tool for removing the GMT stuff, but with unknown side effects. The folder structure isn't too complex for doing so, you could even do it yourself with a simple (plain) text editor (no office monster!), but you'll have to do so over and over again for all folders containing such messages, and you would need to take special care to not destroy the folder file structure and size (the new mail folder is another issue since each message is stored in a single file of its own).

IMO the following approach would work (make sure to backup any files you're trying to modify): Folders are stored in files named something like FOLxxxxx.PMM (where the xxxxx is replaced with hexadecimal digits). The first 128 bytes of these files are internal administration data which shouldn't be touched. Now start a search and replace routine replacing (GMT+00:00) with an identical number of blank spaces (for keeping the file size). It would be a good idea to do all this with Pegasus Mail closed so you don't interfere with any internal processing.

Yes, the good old dos 8.3 format. ;-)

As stated in the helpfile: e-mail address is always contained in field 1.  See Data file section.  

[/quote]

Have never had a problem putting lname in field 1, fname in field 2, and e-mail in field 3.  Do that because I can add/edit records more easily

[quote user="irelam"]

 If you have a CSV file that you wish to make a particular line into a comment, I suggest you just insert a fake email address as field 1 (something like me@localhost)

Using such a fake email address works. Thanks.
