Thanks, great suggestion.  The problem actually turned out to be that in Control Panel my daughter changed keyboards to a Japanese script one for a chatroom situation and forgot to change back.

Good point!

Resolved.

When copying a simple installation's HIERARCH.PM file to a new installation, pmail will re-assign the unique ID of the primary mailbox.  It is a simple matter to do a find and replace on that unique ID.  

Example:

1) Delete the HIERARCH.PM file from the new installation, restart pmail, exit pmail and then look at the first line of the file, which will be something like:

 2,1,"5F242154:My mailbox","","My mailbox"

 2) Copy the old HIERARCH.PM file into the new installation.  A few lines from my old HIERARCH.PM file look like this:

 2,1,"56A33625:My mailbox","","My mailbox"

1,1,"1F533666:Tray1","56A33625:My mailbox","Tray1"

0,0,"1CF29095:0EFA:FOL132AA","1F533666:Tray1","Folder beneath Tray1"

0,0,"0E562976:3863:FOL031F0","56A33625:My mailbox","Folder In Mailbox - Not in Tray"

3) You would then find and replace each occurrence of 56A33625 with the new installation's unique ID for the mailbox (5F242154).

4) Save the HIERARCH.PM file into the new installation and restart pmail.

Got'em. Thanks.

[quote user="PaulW"]WSSetup.dat contains the default base directory which (from the comments) are created upon initial PMail install.  This setting can only be altered manually and not through the program GUI.[/quote]

D'OH!  I did not think to look for a .dat or .ini associated with WSSETUP.  So let me ask this.  The registry entries in the problem PC contained UNC paths that match the one in the wssetup.dat file.  The registry entries in two other PCs contained mapped drive paths.  How would those mapped drive paths have been placed into the registry?  Would it have been from running winpm-32.exe using the mapped drive path without running or prior to running wssetup.exe?

My guess would be that either a full install or wssetup puts them in the registry.

Thanks, bfluet, for your help. It was just what I needed. My problem is solved.

Hi Chris,

[quote user="chriscw"]I was expecting to see some indication such as the first one or and x-envelope to field.[/quote]

Martin already explained.

[quote]Where should I be looking.[/quote]

Hmm ... you are using Mercury ... so have a look at the logs of coremdoule and maybe MercuryE(?).

But I wonder why you don't get an errormail. Is the user within your domain?

How to migrate you may search the forum - there are plenty of describtions.

What do you mean by the emails not to copy? You may simply exclude those in the "Inbox". Don't copy files ending on "*.CNM"

All other emails are in mailfolders and in Pegasus these folders are files including all the emails of that folder.

You were correct in that the hide option was ticked............thank you!

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

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.

Olaf-

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.
