Last night, while researching IE11 print problems some more, the most similar problem to mine was someone with a Brother printer who could print OK from everything but IE11, but got a mix of good and bad with IE11.

Most of the IE11 print problems see to be all or nothing, not a mix of good and bad, and my printer is a Brother.

 One of the reasons I've been trying to print less is that besides having to eventually throw away the printouts, when my toner runs out I need to decide whether to buy another cartridge or buy a new printer. The less I print, the more I prolong this decision (pro-active procrastination).

Whether IE11 by itself can print is of no importance to me, but since that is what IERenderer uses, it does matter, as that is only time IE11 is used for printing.

I've already wasted more paper testing all this than I'd likely be printing this year. So, for now, if I need to print a message, I'll either view it in Firefox, or save it as text, and use my text editor to print it. And maybe when the time comes, I'll buy a more modern non-Brother printer.

This is what I have suspected all along, my main problem is with the ISP, they are TOOOOO big for their own good and a bit if not over AARROOGGAANNTT AND Conceded, they think they can do NOT wrong, I feel they can do NO RITE. NO, will not change to another ISP, too much else need be changed as well and knowing this means it is only a bump in the road. Just ignore this and move on with my next issue, some day Yahoo! will realize their problem.

Thanks to Jerry and caisson for all that you guys have done to try to help with this frustrating situation. Today I had a tech wiz from ATT go into my computer to find a solution and he came away without a clue. It cost me $49.00, which I shouldn't have to pay after their assurances that they would fix the problem. As a result, my family and I decided to switch back to Cox. Not only because I love Pegasus and would hate to use anything else as an email client, but also because ATT falls short in other areas. Their fiber optics internet is slow. The range of their WiFi is pathetic. So, I'm not going to pursue this discussion any further. Instead I'm looking forward to exploring the new features in my favorite email client (which I've been using sine the mid 90s), and eagerly look forward to the next update. I have enough stress in my life, with health problems and don't need to suffer through second rate email programs. I'm staying with what works :-)

Took a minute to do some research in the list of file names and extensions.  Found this info:

This indicates that a message that fails to send should be in the .PMX form and should be visible when reviewing queued mail but not editable.  It then follows that an empty "Review queued mail" list indicates all has been sent.

*.PMW WinPMail v2.0+ This file type replaces *.MSG above, as that conflicted with

Trumpet Winsock messages. This messages are also referred to as

"outgoing messages in draft format". Those files can be edited/reviewed

using the File | Review queued mail menu entry.

*.PMX WinPMail v2.0+ These files are "ready to sent". Also called "outgoing messages in

final form". The headers are added, addresses are expanded. Those

messages cannot be edited anymore but still can be viewed and/or deleted

using the File | Review queued mail menu entry.

What you could do is go to File and select Selective download to see if there are any problematic messages (with an excessively large attachment for example) waiting to be downloaded. If there are, you can remove them from the pop server, and download the rest of the messages as normal. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry to say that if you re-indexed you may have emptied the folder and rewritten it. As such you are left with your PC backups.

If you want to be really sure, check the size of the folder file *.PMM for which-ever folder in your mail folder.  If it is really big you have a good chance of getting them back.  Run my utility Notsplit, available at this site at url address: http://community.pmail.com/files/folders/utils/entry3962.aspx. It will place all the notes it finds, in your newmail directory (so make sure your newmail directory is empty before attempting to do this).

Let me know if you need assistance in running my utility

I can not offer any other explanation as to why Pegasus Mail can not see the address books, dlists, or rules if the files are in the appropriate mailbox directory.

If you were moving Pegasus Mail from one Win7 machine to another Win7 machine and the install on the first machine was to the default location of C:\PMAIL then you could copy the entire contents of C:\PMAIL from the old machine to the new machine.  You could then run the installer to make the appropriate registry entries (not necessary but adds ability to set Pegasus Mail as the default mail program). 

An alternative method would be to install Pegasus Mail on the new machine and then replace the entire content of the \MAIL folder with the content from the other machine.  Installation MUST be in the same location as it was on the old Win7 machine.  (Note to other readers:  This may not work if moving from a machine running WinXP). 

You might be best served to start from scratch but if the paths to the Pegasus Mail executable files and to the

mailboxes are the same in the vm as they were on the old machine then it might be worth a try to rename the existing \MAIL directory then copy \MAIL from the old

machine.  Do this with Pegasus Mail closed. IMPORTANT:  This WILL NOT work if the paths to the Pegasus Mail executable files and to the

mailboxes are not the same in the vm as they were on the old machine.

Note:  I do not have any experience with running a vm on a mac so can't say whether that has any impact on how this will work.

Just joking. The salient point is that Pmail, when set up to do so, will generate both a plain and fancy version of each message sent.

The obvious intent is that the recipient can then decide which version of those messages to display, provided that the program in use is capable of doing so.

Pmail has that capacity and will display either version, as selected, in emails that contain both formats.

This is not necessary. In the original installation go to Addresses | User management and create new User(s).

This will create a new mailbox for each additional user. Start each from its own shortcut using the -MS command line switch to allow multiple instances to run

and the -I <username> switch applicable in each case.

I guess the information on disabling blacklist checking in Bearhtml is irrelevant if you are using IERenderer. The phishing check, in both cases is able to be disabled via the menu item Tools/Options/Incoming Mail/Hyperlinks being unchecked.

I have a gmail account accessed as imap.  It does the same thing.  I presume the problem is on the google side as I've never had problems with the imap protocol before.  As you say, the actions in fact are reflected in the account regardless of the the warnings.  I don't believe it is the xfinity/comcast modem as the last time I used imap it was with another source and there were no problems.

Be well,

Kim

You say you have sent such large messages via Thunderbird and a web

interface which I find surprising for the facts mentioned by Martin but

it makes me wonder if an inadequate timeout setting in Pegasus Mail

could be breaking off the transmission before it has completed.

Keep

in mind that the timeout setting in the SMTP host configuration takes

precedence over the one in the General tab of Network configuration.

FWIW, 

at the office we routinely exchange photos and large files with clients and vendors.  Our experience is that delivery of messages larger than 20MB is unreliable.  An image resizer, a zip utility and Dropbox are all utilized as appropriate.

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.
