Don't know any.

You may only change the order of IMAP foldertrees by editing the IMAP.PM and moving the lines there (on closed Pegasus!!!).

kind regards

Brian,

 Struggling with PMail 4.70 IMAP right now on two different Win7-64 machines.   I've tried it to two servers which I know support IMAP, one my own (I have users with Thunderbird using IMAP) and one GMail.  Both of them return the following error dialog:

Profile 'GeoApps-GMail':

The IMAP server that manages this mailbox or folder has reported an error during the operation you have attempted to perform.

The operation cannot be completed.

In "http://community.pmail.com/forums/AddPost.aspx?PostID=47086" you wrote:

"No trick.  It's all in the configuration.  You say that there is an IMAP connection but no messages are downloaded.  IMAP is a protocol that connects to the host server and displays the messages that are there.  It does not download.  A successful IMAP connection is indicated by the existence of an additional mailbox at the bottom of your folder list.  If you are not making an IMAP connection I suggest you generate an internet session log of an attempted IMAP connection.  It should identify where the point of failure is."

How do I generate an Internet session log in IMAP?  The only place I can see to do that is in the "Internet Settings" dialog for POP identities.  That AFAICT only applies to POP sessions.

Hello Angus,

Great to hear from you.  It has been a long time. 

The internet session log option is at the bottom of the General tab of Tools > Internet Options.  When enabled it creates session logs of POP, SMTP, & IMAP activity.  The log files are separate and clearly named.

Be aware that if you are running Mercury and Pegasus Mail and are trying to connect via IMAP to a mailbox that is open by Pegasus Mail the connection will fail due to the mailbox lock.  IIRC, the failure message is the one you quoted although your profiles indicates gmail so this may not apply at all.

I assume you have IMAP access enabled in the gmail settings.

Hello Brian, thanks for the quick reply.  It has been a long time.

FWIW the "Downloads" tab on the forums header leads to a download of 4.70, while the downloads info on www.pmail.com  shows that 4.72 is the latest.  I'm installing that now.

I turned that on, then tried to connect to a newly-created IMAP session using the settings that Google recommended.  It failed with the notice I posted AND no session log was created.  AFAIR session logs are in the user's mailbox folder and I've used them in the past to recover forgotten POP3 passwords so I know how they work.  They're just not appearing for me now.

[Edit]  PMail 4.72 is hung on "Preparing Gateways and Transports" so I'll have to deal with this later.  Ideas welcome ....

Got it connecting, had to enable an app-specific password in GMail to allow PMail to connect without 2FA. However, no IMAP folder list appeared.   Rebooting now, ,plus I still haven't tried my own IMAP server.

I don't recall encountering this but I don't have 2FA enabled so assume that 2FA mandated this step.  Seems like it would complicate the changing of the gmail password but I don't know anything about it so more research required.

Glad you got it connecting at least.

Found the folders, just buried at the bottom of my mail-folder list (I have too many folders ;-))

Is there any way to make one or more IMAP folder sets appear above the local folders?
