Problem-Can't Access New Mail

It sounds like your folder set-up is trashed.  The .cnm files are the individual messages in the new mail folder.  Try copying them using windows explorer to a safe place, and then do a complete new install of Pegasus Mail to a different folder.  Copy the cnm files to your this second new mail folder and try again.  Avoid duplicating names of folders.

Hello,



I am a new user of Pegasus. I installed version 4.41 today. I then downloaded

all the e-mails that

had been stored on the server at my ISP. The 1st minor problem I had

was it wouldn’t download

some of the e-mails with attachments. Most were ok, just a few wouldn’t move. I

was getting an

error message something like it was timing out, so I changed the default

timeout for network

connections to a longer time, but it didn’t make any difference. 

Then

I started to make subfolders to put the e-mails in. I started a new folder tree

& then added a

subfolder to it. That seemed to work, so I tried to make a 2nd

folder tree. But the tree just came as

a new folder in the original tree under ‘My mailbox’ with the same name as the

new folder in the 2nd

tree. I thought that I had done it wrong, so I tried again with the same

result. Now I have 4 identical

folders, one in the 2nd tree where I wanted it & the other 3 in

the original tree. After making the 1st

one I moved the e-mails into it that I wanted there. When the other 3 appeared,

they had copies of

the same e-mails that I had moved into the 1st folder in the new

tree. So I tried to delete the 3 extra

folders that I didn’t want & was told I couldn’t.


I then deleted the messages in one of those folders & found that the

messages disappeared from all

4 at once. Then I tried again to delete the folders. I am a bit hazy here what

the exact sequence of

events is, but I started getting error messages from ‘Pegasus Mail for Windows’

saying that Pegasus

Mail for Windows has encountered a problem and needs to close. Then when I

restart Pegasus I get

a notice that ‘Mailbox is locked’. The first time I got this I closed

everything & restarted the computer.

Then I still got the message, so I pressed continue to see if it would work.

When It opens up now, it
goes to My mailbox, but when I try to open New mail, I get the mcsft error

message saying that it
has encountered a problem & has to close. Sometimes immediately & sometimes

after some or
all of the messages have loaded.


 

Also

during this process, the 4 folders that are the same name, renamed themselves

to

‘P94B9A5Z.MAI & placed a folder on the desktop. Inside the folder is a file

named: COUNTERS.PM.

Each time I try to delete these folders I get another error message with

several possibilities & then it

says that: ‘You may need to remove the directory manually using Windows

Explorer or a similar file

management utility.’ 

 

I only have one user & e-mail address set up. I have 1440 messages in the New

mail folder that I

want to go through & delete some & organize the rest. Also, before I

downloaded the e-mails from

my ISP, I changed the location that I store the e-mails in. I couldn’t tell if

it worked properly, but

when I go to the location that I told Pegasus to store the e-mails in, there

are a lot of files of various

sizes, the majority of which are a bunch of letters & numbers with

the extension .CNM. Does
this sound like stored e-mails? There is also a subfolder here called RmtFiles that

is empty. 

 

I

am using WinXP home, service pack 2, with 1GB of ram. I am a little behind in

updates, don’t

know if it has any relevance to the current problem.

 


Can anyone help?

 

 

Thanks
