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.

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)

HTH

Using such a fake email address works. Thanks.

Strange. I had irfanview working correctly.

Maybe be a wine issue?

[quote user="vstreano"]I'm using v4.52, and yes it does effect plain text messages.[/quote]

It's very likely that this issue has been fixed meanwhile. IOW: There won't be a fix for you unless it still occurs in the most recent version (4.63).

Done; figured it out.

I had (good?) reasons for using non-standard paths, without being aware of any such problems. Thanks!

The current Pegasus Mail which is a 32-bit application runs quite normally in Windows 8 in 64-bit mode, just like other 32-bit apps. remember to install it outside the c:\Program Files directory structure. If you let it go to default locations, it will start install in c:\pmail

Hallo Rebeccah,

do the two login-popups ask vor same logindata?

You may have a look at internet options, if there is more than one definition at tag POP3.

Or may be there are some mails waiting to be sent (have a look at queue) so Pegasus wants SMTP-Password at startup (asumed, you have configured SMTP to use login data from POP3-configuration).

Thanks. Yeah, that's what I thought. So I guess I will tell him to live with the fact that only the new mails will be possible cause I've seen not much info on IMAP on his webhosters pages.

As far as I can see, there is no certain way to detect English or French content without resorting to dictionary word sampling. As for identifying a country of origin, that is flawed as a French person could mail you from Germany in French.  I think it would be better to consider other methods such as using SpamHalter,  built-in to Pegasus Mail, teaching it that words in other languages are treated as Spam. They would then be directed to a folder of your choice.

Martin 

Hmm ... I'm not shure about your problem ...

Initialy Pegasus sorts addressbookentries by name on every opening. If you want them to be sortet by key, you have to click at the columntop. Pegasus does not remember your choice of sortcriteria.

If the entries are mixed up (key doesn't match name), the indexfile of the addressbook is damaged. Simply reindex that addressbook (in the same menue, where you add, delete ... addressbooks.

Is there any Antivirus allowed to check mails while downloading them with POP3?

Disable this feature.

bye    Olaf

I believe if you have performed a default multi-user installation, you can bcc to the user "Admin" or whichever user is performing the mailing. When you do the .pmw file injection method you've employed, you are in effect bypassing the queueing process; during that process is when pmail creates the copy-to-self. A downside of any bcc method will be that the mails placed in copy-to-self will also contain attachments. Normally copy-to-self mails only indicate a pointer to the attached files. Also with an external bcc (as opposed to username bcc) there is the additional bandwidth to download those mails.
