Firstly, congratulations on an excellent

programme.  Might I ask in my wishlist for an extra “delete”

button – one which besides deleting the offending email (eg for being a spam)

but will at the same time add Sender or/and part of email (ie email

address or website link) to a list that is automatically deleted before it is

downloaded. 

regards

I suggest that Content Control should accumulate weights from all rule sets. Possibly as an option with an associated threshold, in addition to the per file thresholds.

Rationale: Content Control is a valuable spam fighting tool because it can catch tricks that would fool Bayesian filters, e.g concatenation like ArbitraryWordViagraArbitraryFemaleName. This suggestion would make it possible to update/replace SPAMBUST.DAT (as part of the Pegasus install package) without overwriting user additions. Plus it would encourage a more fine-grained rule structure.

If my primary suggestion is not feasible, then I suggest either

1. that the file-size limit of the internal editor be removed, or
2. that the internal editor be disabled and an external editor be launched when the limit is exceeded

I would have to agree.  When building my own filters, I prefer to have a variety of smaller sets of filters so that I can order, and apply fine control.  One file for RECEIVED headers, another for pharmacy type spam, another for enormous appendages, etc.  Even if there is the capacity to identify the active filters so that they are able to be strung together.  

It would also be useful to be able to apply a global set of filters (uneditable), and then apply user-based filters.

[Having changed ISP's and they're not having as a good set of spam filtering, I am back into doing a bit more of my own.]

1. I started to use linked folders more frequently and it is an interesting concept. However, sometimes it would be good to be able to tell the location (e.g. folder name) of the main email location - maybe under message properties?
2. If the original email is being moved, e.g. as part of restructuring, the link to the email in the linked folder breaks. I feel, that the internal link should be automatically adjusted so that emails could still be accessed from the linked folder.

Hi,

I hope I am in the correct forum, since this is a bug relat more than a suggestion.

When I'm sending a long url, I obviously use the special pasting (ctrl-shif-V) to paste it unwrapped. It seems to work when I send the msg to the queue, but when I send the queue msg (to my own mail address for exemple, or even to "Single-user mode"), the url is wrapped. It was working ok in the version 3.x, I don't remember in which version this bug appeared.

My work around is to use tinyurl.com, but it's not always conveniant, so it's IMO the most annoying bug of Pegasus. It can even give a funny image of Pegasus to other people (I had to confess to a friend that my email client wasn't able to keep unwrapped the long url I've just sent).

I set up a permanent BCC to myself in the options.
With mail merge this produces a copy of every single generated message.

I wish the permanent BCC setting could be switched off for mail merge messages.

When running in multi-user mode with at least one added mailbox it is quite possible to have two windows opened which have identical titles eg "New Mail": it is not readily apparent to which mailbox each of those windows applies.

I would like to see the maibox's name added to the title of each window when there any added mailboxes. e.g. "[Bill Bloggs] New mail (87 messages) "

It can also be difficult to identify the mailbox of folders and trays in the Folders window when the list is longer than the height of the window. Alternating the colour of the connecting lines between icons would help.

Merci Philippe!

That's something I would appreciate very much, but unfortunately, I don't think

that this is on the ToDo list right now.

[quote user="Cyrus"]

The only way that I know of to preserve the association between filename and foldername is to empty the folder manually (i.e. message for message) which is a tiresome exercise when there are are (tens of) thousands of messages in the folder.

How about creating a mail filtering rule (set) for this?

Cheers!

Because I believe it would instantly solve problems like the following:

A duplicator detector and eraser would be a great idea. Specially if when moving substantial number of mails from one folder to another a mistake is done and the program is interfered (only human) and then the copy process is interrupted, normally making the origin folder "inconsistent", requiring a re-indexing, which normally restrores all the just moved messages, but keeping the moved ones as well.

Pegasus is the best email program ever !!! 

A solution for your smtp profiles is to use mailroam, once you've recorded in mailroam the different smtp servers you use and connect each of them to a particular ip or range of ip's or even to a domain name, you just have to declare the localhost (127.0.0.1) as smtp server in PM, mailroam, then, does the job.  That's what I do on my laptop.

But you're right it could be nice to revert the state of a final form mail.

[quote user="Rendres"]It would be great if the next line would also automatically be bulleted, and potentially the bulleted list only be deactivated when you hit enter a second time to insert a clear line. This handling, found in the word processing programmes ...[/quote]

<...>That is to say, most modern wp programs allow one to handle "formatting" as styles rather than as formatting. Accordingly, rather than changing the appearance in an ad hoc manner as one goes from a formatting bar one is able to highlight particular areas of the text, open a style palette, and apply a style with a semantically meaningful content to that text. IOW, modern wp documents are more like modern HTML documents and less like old-fashioned "tag soup" documents that mix content and appearance in an indiscriminate manner.

[/quote]

I would appreciate bulleted-list behaviour the way Rendres describes

it. After all what's the point in a bulleted list if there is only one

bullet item? Also, I agree with the notion of "styles". Interpreting

the toolbar button as "[start] list", rather than as "[start] item", and an empty item line as "end of list" would allow applying the structural style concept while maintaining easy handling.

BTW, I would hate the highlight->styles palette->apply style approach. IMHO that's far to awkward when writing text, which is what word processing and emails are about for me.

My never-to-be-sufficiently-cursed ISP, Comcast, has implemented limits

on the number of outbound messages one can send in one session in a

misguided attempt to cut down on spam from infected machines.  The

limit is somewhere around 5 messages in a batch.  The 6th and

subsequent messages get 'bounced'.  I know I could set up Pegasus Mail

to send-at-once, but that wouldn't work when I'm sending a message to

more than 5 recipients.

It would be a Good Thing if we had "Upload Controls" to match the

"Download Controls" (DLC) on the POP3 tab in Internet Options.  In DLC

we can limit the number of messages downloaded in a session.  If only

we could limit the number sent in a session.

Thanks!

That would be a nice feature, but you could also think of an adress-

book stored as a XML file. Then it would be possible to exchange

the adressbook in an easy way.

Han,
Thanks and yes, I guess there is definitely some merit in a comparison with the snail mail handling of mail etc. in order to find procedural analogies and make it's usage more straightforward especially for new user. However, we probably both agree that while the good old hand written letter and the snail mail handling has some charm - still like to get them and have a chat with the lady at our tiny post office [:)]- many of its disadvantages were more related to the missing technology or time and effort needed to do something rather than by its necessity. Just think about the times of fiddling around with two carbon papers and three sheets of papers in your typewriter to get two copies ...[:D]
I would still opt for a copyself option.

Hi !

Well, today was a dark Sunday since I lost my tray structure entirely and had only a two month old backup of this critical file named "HIERARCH.PM" which has been corrupted and God only knows how. It seems this kind of corruption has stroke several users, so I was wondering if the next release could have some sort of self-backup procedure (with maybe the creation of a new Windows folder called "BACKUP") which will make a copy of the critical files such the one I mentioned. Since the capacity of our hard drives are becoming bigger every day, maybe this feature (if chosen to be coded of course) could be enriched with some frequency options like those :

(1) choose when Pegasus Mail should backup its critical files :

(a) after X openings of the program (where X can be chosen by the user)

(b) each time the program is ended

(c) while the program is opened, every Y minutes

etc.

(2) choose the location of the backups (default folder being "BACKUP")

Well, I guess you all get the picture. I am sure there is a lot of other potential "options" that can be added, and I strongly hope this feature or something close will be implemented in the next release.

Bye !

Our company has been using Pegasus Mail since the 90's and overall, although we have had some problems which we have managed to overcome through the help of technical support or the mailing list, the experience has been pretty good. The opening of these forums was a great move.

I have been managing the company email since 2001, and I have one wish in particular that I would love to see implemented. When Pegasus Mail is performing a task which takes a long time, you have no idea what the status of that task is. I have learnt that just because Windows reports that Pegasus Mail is 'not responding', it does not mean that Pegasus has crashed. It can be frustrating when you are waiting for a process to complete and the Window refuses to refresh - often the previous window contents will be displayed.

So, would it be possible to get Pegasus to be able to report it's status when it is busy? Just knowing that the program has not crashed would be sufficient. It is far more preferable than sitting at my machine thinking - how much longer should I give this task before hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del? Subsequently, I have learnt that it is always a good idea to leave Pegasus for at least an hour before forcing a close down, but it would be nice to be able to close it down in the knowledge that it really has crashed, rather than be left wondering...

My machine: WinXP Pro SP2, 2GB RAM, Intel Core 2 CPU 1.8GHz, Nvidia Quadro NVS 285, 2x74GB SATA drives.

Absolutely....excellent suggestion....!

I run in to this nuisance very frequently when I use Pegasus with my miniature laptop, which has limited screen real-estate.
