Hmm ... how did you convert the files?

The folderfiles of Netscape have MBX-Format. You should simply copy that files (not the msf - only the folderfiles with no extension) somewhere else, rename the files, so that they have the extension ".mbx" and point Pegasus to that folder. That's all. Pegasus should show you a list of folders and you may move the mails in to folders in Pegasus-format.

Delete a user would not delete the public folder so now you just have to find it.  When you created it you would have specified a path to the directory where the public folder was to reside.  The public folder itself is a directory named with a .mai extension (eg: SAMRA.MAI) that contains message files with .cnr extensions.  If you don't remember the path you can search for either the *.mai directory or *.cnr files.

I want to leave mail on the server, but when I retrieve new mail it download everything every time is there a setting

Check the block in Download controls section when you Edit pop3 , Tools, Internet options receiving. You have to burrow down to that tab which is several clicks into the settings under Internet Options.

I just signed up to this forum to share my experience just in case it helps anyone.  I enabled 'Content Control' (via 'Tools', 'Spam and Content Controls', 'Content Controls') and the next time I started Pegasus it froze at the splash screen on 'opening new mail folder' (or similar).

I tried many time but it just wouldn't get past this point.  Following the advice given in other posts in this thread I moved all the .CNM files to a temporary folder.  Pegasus then started okay and I was able to disable the Content Control definition. I quit Pegasus, moved the .CNM files back, and opened Pegasus again. All was well, and loaded correctly.

I should add that I'm a long-time Pegasus user (since 1998) and I'm also guilty of having several thousand emails in my New Mail Folder.  I wouldn't do that at work, but...

Thanks once I found the right one on the back up drive and copied it across, it worked a treat.

Cheers

I found the offending file and deleted it and am back in business. Sorry for the intrusion.

Thanks everybody. Jim's guidance worked like a charm.

This problem solved totally to my satisfaction. I still think the item should be made more explicit, and be in the help files; it is SUCH a useful tool.

I'll be bringing a much more serious problem to these pages later .... Brian

The (probably postfix) smtp server you are sending mail through is having intermittent problems talking to it's auth db (probably load related - either under-resourced or being dos'ed).

So it's not your (or pmail's) issue, and there is nothing you can do (except change providers or badger them to solve it).

Gah!

I've just pasted the message into Word and the link does in fact contain two @ symbols. The message is encoded as base 64 so the raw view is meaningless.

Sorry! 

Thanks

IIRC in XP it's C:\Documents and Settings\user\SendTo

Locate the created files in Windows Explorer. Rename the filetypes to CNM.  Copy these newly renamed files into your NewMail directory. To find the NewMail directory, inside your Pegasus Mail click on Help. Then click the "About..."  menu item, and then the "Info" button.

Thanks - that was it - hidden behind main screen.

Became visible after I reduced the size of the panel Now the new dialogue box appears on top as previously.

There probably were angle bracket but the content that was provided with the failed delivery messages sent to postmaster only showed From: firstname,lastname@domain.com. 

This user has come back into the office so I have since discovered that the failures were on messages that she was trying to forward.  The hotmail address was in the cc list.  She doesn't remember whether she was bouncing or forwarding with edits but says messages sent directly to the hotmail address go fine.  That's all I need to know.  No need to dig into this any further at this time.

Big chance your address book has been hijacked, in which case you might have a trojan on board.

I seem to have fixed this by removing all the .cnm files out of my mailbox then putting them back

Consider SNOWY the server and SATCHEL the client.  Make no changes to SNOWY, just run pconfig on SATCHEL to point to the mailboxes on SNOWY.   Test the path to the \MAIL directory on SNOWY from SATCHEL using Windows Explorer to confirm you are using a valid path in pconfig.  Make sure you have full control permission to \MAIL (including subfolders) from SATCHEL.

Alternatively, there is no need to run the Pegasus Mail installed on SATCHEL because you can share the installation that is on SNOWY.  A shortcut to winpm-32.exe on SNOWY from SATCHEL is how you do it. 

A few additional points:

1)  You don't need your wife to exit Pegasus Mail when you want to use it.  Pegasus Mail can handle being run by multiple users.  It is the act of accessing the same mailbox simultaneously by multiple users that must be avoided.

2)  There is an executable in the Pegasus Mail executables folder named wssetup.exe (stands for WorkStationSetup).  Running this makes the registry entries and other system changes needed for a PC to run a Pegasus Mail installation that resides on another machine.  You won't need to do this because you have already had Pegasus Mail installed on SATCHEL but this is important for anyone else considering doing this.

3)  Be very careful when opening pmail.cfg with an editor.  It is one of the few configuration files in Pegasus Mail that can be easily broken by manual editing.  An inadvertant extra space or space deletion is all it takes.

When one of the mail servers that I use is acting up,  I have found that I can send mail using Gmail configured for

"Sending mail from a different address", <https://support.google.com/mail/answer/22370>.

I rebooted, re-did the email from scratch, and left out a bcc address, and it sent normally - in "an instant."

How odd.

Thank you for information .I managed to fix the issue. Copied over all the information from the old to the new mailbox and Pegasus tells me that it is running version 4.63 :-)
