Mr. Harris,

I have not been using PMail for about 2.5 years, my Wife just would not accept it and use it so we went through many other clients, finally setteled with one and she was not happy with that one either but accepted it and worked.  My Wife passed on Mother's Day this year, 13 May, 2012.

 I now am back to using Pegasus Mail again, thank you for this latest update the look is GREAT, except for a few little problems.  One is the same as what is posted in this thread, double spell check is a big pain for each message.  There are others, they will be posted elsewhere, am not going to high-jack another person's thread.

 I do hope this will not be a problem in v5.x the latest version 4.63 looks very well put together and I will stay with you.

[quote user="thm"]I use the latest offical version (4.63) and I only write and read text-version of messages. The solution which indeed was delivered in the support-forum is, that the effect disappers when I activate the "Use IERenderer"-option.[/quote]

But you certainly reply to HTML messages here, otherwise IERenderer would not be involved. IOW: No matter what you prefer, if the messages replied to solely contain HTML text you're stuck with it no matter whether you like it or not ...

I suggest you got to Pegasus Mail menu Help/Help Index.  You will find a summary of features and functions. Clicking on any one of these items will then branch to the detailed portion of the Help file.

You appear to have solved your own problem - insert the image using the tools provided.

I don't know what happened before, but you may not have been pasting just the image - there may have been some HTML code as well.

Could it be due to the checking of SPAM? Have the first 2k of the message viewed for spamhalter. 

500 e-mails incoming to the 'main folder' which stops automatic checking after 750, plus spamhalter looking at the message (modified to the first 2048 bytes, not the full message) could be  a real drag on opening the folder.

of course may be far off in my guess.

Have you tried Copy or Move on a selected set of messages?   Have you tried Trays and Folders for filings?

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, hier einige Wünsche für die

Version 5 - von einem User, der seit 20 Jahren pmail treu geblieben ist.

Ich möchte in der Regel alle Mails aufbewahren, aber

nicht  die Attachments, die oft  sehr groß sind. Das Löschen (noch schöner

wäre eine Funktion wie speichern und danach automatisch löschen; Thunderbird:

„Abtrennen“) funktioniert leider nicht per (deutschem?) Tastatur-Shortcut.

Daher kann ich das auch nicht automatisieren. Wunderschön wäre es, wenn das

Löschen von Attachments auch dann funktionieren würde, wenn eine Mail schon

nicht mehr im Ordner für neue Mails liegt - eventuell mittels Filterregel.

[google-translation:] Here are some wishes for the Version 5

- by a user who is 20 years pmail remained faithful. I would usually keep all the mails, but not the attachments,

which are often very large. The deletion (even better would be a function such

as save and then automatically delete) does not work by (German?) Keyboard

shortcut. Therefore I can not automate it. It would be wonderful if deleting

attachments would also work if an email is no longer in the folder for new

mail - perhaps with a filter rule.

Besten Dank! 

Dr. Friedrich Michael Dimpel

Hi, Olaf

The point is that although the focus switches to the window that has been selected, the window remains out of sight. Windows within windows may keep everything nicely separated, but if they can not be programmed to automatically come into view when slected via a list, it causes confusion for people who use it.

I never allow Pegasus Mail's windows to move beyond the edge of the screen because of this, but many of the other staff in our office do not. When you click on an item to display it, it is expected that the window will be displayed, not remain hidden off screen.

I brought this up because some of our staff have asked for help, wondering why they were unable to see a window they had selected. I know that it is simply a matter of dragging the scroll bar accordingly to move the window within the window into view, but none of the other applications our staff use have this functionality. The windows employed by other applications are discreet and while they can be moved so that part of the window can be moved beyond the screen area, part of that window still remains within the screen, and when selected from a drop-down list, it pops into view.

Where does Pegasus pop up if you start it? On primary or wanted screen?

If it is the wanted screen, you may have a look at STATE.PMJ (it's a textfile) and the pixel-coordinates for several subwindows. Some of them should be very high (for most right screen) for horizontal coordinates, but some may be as low as neccessary for corresponding to resolution capabilities of primary screen.

Most times the problem are the drivers for your grafics device. Had completly different behaiviour on same hardware with different driverversions. There are some free tools on internet to correct those problems. Have to ask my colleague on monday which one he prefers ... /me everytime uses only one screen :-)

bye    Olaf

I like the option to insert a signature at the time of message creation, but would like even more if I could select which signature to insert for each message.  Maybe an "insert now" checkbox next to the signature selection dropdown on the new message window or, better yet, an option to "automatically insert upon selection"  (My wife's Mac has an option like this on the Mac mail program.)

Two options (none really great but works)

1) If you 'redirect' or bounce forward with new subject it will do as you request.

2) move to local Inbox, this will make it a .cmn file that can be edited via a plain text editor. Close Pegasus. Change subject line in text file then save. reopen New mail and move back to IMAP folder.

Both require hands on and takes time.

I agree with Henrik. The fact is that Pmail actually changes the "last update" (not only the "last accessed") timestamp of its mailbox files and sets the Archive attribute on them even when doing just a search on them, ie not changing their contents in any way.

This is annoying because the files appear as having been modified even if they are not, and any decent backup software is therefore going to copy them unnecessarily. (I routinely use "robocopy" but every other copy or backup package gets fooled the same way).

Thank you for 'voting' for my logic  [:)]

Maybe I should take a look at 'robocopy'.

Pegasus saves the folder-IDs of opened folders in IMAP-mailboxes in DESKTOP.PDC (PM461 here).

If I configure an IMAP-mailbox in Pegasus, this file will not be created! Depending on behaviour of IMAP-server only the inbox or the first level of folders will be shown. If I open some folders with subfolders in, close Pegasus and reopen it, Pegasus didn't save the view of opened folders (because DESKTOP.PDC does not exist).

The only way to fix this within Pegasus is to open some folders, disconnect from the IMAP-mailbox and reconnect. Then DESKTOP.PDC will be created and from that point all changes on opened or closed folders in preview-mode will be saved.

Would it need much  programming to fix this to creating DESKTOP.PDC (and FOLDERS.PFC - not shure about that) on creating the IMAP-Profile?

Thanks in advance

    Olaf

Wow super - this seems really to be an option...

Thank you !

BTM:
I nethertheless think it would be a good feature to log the really sending-time too - even not in headers, but somewhere else :)
