Because David Harris modified the respective code, but he's also the only one who can answer your question. Like I said, he continues working on it, that's for sure ...

If Url length is a problem for you, why not use TinyUrl.com's service. Secondly note that an email message just consisting of a url, is treated by many mail services as highly likely to be sp*m   So remember to add some text to the message body too, explaining what the link is providing

Known issue, thanks.

Go to Control Panel > Default Programs > Set your default programs > Outlook > Choose defaults for this program.  Look for the MAILTO option in the "Protocols" section and the "Send mail" option in the MAPI section.  They are probably unticked and show Pegasus Mail.  Tick them to make Outlook the default program for those actions.

Ok - I changed the title accordingly :-)

The documentation guide now contains a link to a location that has a utility to assist in the installation of dictionaries of user choosing.

The revised document is located at:

Bonetree, I am setting up PM 4.7 as a first time user and experienced a similar problem: I went through the proper steps to delete an address book, but it was not deleted. My solution was exit PM, then delete the associated address book files (.PMR and .PM!) from my user directory. When I reopened PM, that address book was gone.

[quote user="nate10"]hello, how can an existing installation pegasus mail secure?[/quote]

Hello!

It seems to me that the logic how rulesets are applyed to folders has somethat changed from 4.63 to 4.7.

In 4.63 the pmail was practically stalled while the ruleset  associated with folder has been processed.

In 4.7 this looks much better as one can continue to work with folders and emails while the rulset is processing the folder.

I have a lot of folders that contain data that is needed only temporaly so these folders have a folder close ruleset that deletes the mails older than X.

In past I had to close these folders one-by-one. Now I can do that in sequence and seems that pmail puts these tasks into process queue.  

However - there seems to be problem. If one tries to move emails (by an inbox mail filtering ruleset for instance) to a folder that is in beeing processed by another ruleset at the same time then the pmail hangs (non responding to win). Maybe it's sort of a race condition or smth. as at least once such hanging of pmail has resulted in constantly high processor utilization by pmail process.

Just to note that all the mailboxes in question are IMAP and the OS is WinXP.

Have anybody noticed similar and can confirm this?

This might not answer all parts

of your question but here is how I save, backup and restore my emails under

Pegasus Mail.

Pegasus Mail (PM) saves all emails

in numerous files in your email folder on your hard disk. It is not one file

only as e.g. Outlook does. If you want to backup your emails you have to backup

that entire folder (or directory) including sub-folders if exist.

As an example, my main PM email

folder is:

D:\data\emails\ 

If your are using multiple PM users

then PM creates a separate folder for each user and places all the emails of

each user in a separate folder under that main mail folder. It also places a

small text file PMAIL.USR into the PM main folder which contains one line per

user (have a look at it). Assuming you have three users 'alice', 'john' and 'tom'

then you would end up with three folder in your PM email folder path called:

D:\data\emails\alice\

D:\data\emails\john\

D:\data\emails\tom\

All files in the user folders have 'cryptic' names and most

are actually simple text files.

In the user folder e.g.

D:\data\emails\tom\

you will also find the user

specific configuration stored in a file called: PMAIL.INI 

So, all you have to do is save (backup) or transfer (to a

new PC) that entire folder tree.

Then just install PM fresh and let it know where its email

folder is. 

A last hint on backing up PM Emails / email folder. Make

sure that you create an exact MIRROR of that main folder (D:\data\emails\) and sub-folder every time you do a

backup otherwise you may end up with duplicated emails.

Cheers

Thomas

Pegasus Mail will not run from the backup because the configuration files contain paths appropriate to the original installation.  I see two options. 

1.  Restore the entire \PMAIL directory from the backup to a hard drive or USB device then use the -roam switch in the command line to start Pegasus Mail.  The command line should look something like this:  drive:\PMAIL\PROGRAMS\WINPM-32.EXE -A -ROAM (add any other switches you normally used.

2.  In a different installation of Pegasus Mail, add the mailbox directory from the backup as an added mailbox.   You should then be able to see the entire contents of that mailbox and can manipulate the messages and folders just like any other.

It is know there are addressbook problems and hopefully they will be fixed for the V4.71 release that is already scheduled to fix other problems and one with the spell checker display and end check function. Try using drag and drop and that should work to add address to book you have open.

Address book as we know it will not be in V5 and will be replaced by new Contact Manager. 

Further to my previous posing, I found the Hungarian dictionaries as Add-ons for Firefox at http://magyarispell.sourceforge.net 

for HU

Right click in the preview pane then select either "Reformat long lines" or "Wrap long lines".  Also note the keystroke for each function.

Hello Jerry,

thank you, switched session log on. So now it is waiting untill it happens again...

[quote user="David_himself"]It's not a huge big deal, and I still love PMail to bits, but it's an annoyance, and I shouldn't have to sacrifice the whole auto-replacement feature to prevent it. Sez me, anyway.[/quote]

I always turn off any of these features wherever they occur (including auto-suggestions as done by browsers and mobile phones (which I don't use either if I don't have to)) since they always drive me crazy as well instead of being helpful: I probably simply hate smart-ass devices ;-)

Hi !

Well, maybe you could read this thread :

Unfortunately, David's participation is mandatory if one hopes to find a stable funding solution, and he has not be very responsive regarding this matter so far.

Cheers !

Worked ! Thank you very much !

A clean install is a good choice.  There is a list of filenames and extensions that is a valuable for reference for identifying which files to copy from your old installation.  Find it at:  http://www.vandenbogaerde.net/pegasusmail/pf_pmfiles.html

Also, I have a document created for personal reference that I believe you would find helpful.  If you would like a copy, send me a private message with your email address.

Hi Jim,

> Is there any way that the IMAP mailbox can appear at the top, above both of the others? 

At the moment there isn't. IMAP-Mailboxes are displayed always at the bottom (after your mailbox, lokal mailboxes in other folders and central mailboxes). You may manipulate the order of IMAP-Mailboxes (if you have several of these) by editing the IMAP.PM and change the order by copiing the lines in order you want.
