Thank-you Martin!

We had a similar problem, we had a bad message, that was sitting in the inbox as the last downloaded message, and we had PMail set to "preview" mode. When we started PMail, as soon as the messages loaded, we got an error message "Exceeded max lines per Windows limit" and then PMail would terminate, so we could never get in to delete the bad message!

I have been using PMail since 2001, but had never found out anything about the files, and using your tip I located the bad CNM file in a few minutes, cut it out to a temporary folder, and it fixed the problem!  We were in a real bind, because we had lost our backup copies of the files, our portable hard disk was lost (or stolen) the day before this happened, so your tip sure saved us a lot of grief.

 Thank-you!

Help! While in the process of forwarding an email, I did something that caused Pmail to crash.  It now will only load a far as "Applying mail filtering rules".

I'm running version 4.41 on  Windoze XP Pro.  Can anyone help me?

TIA,

Ted Jones

It sounds like you have a bad message in your NewMail directory.  Using Windows Explorer, Cut/Paste all .CNM files from the NewMail directory to another directory, and restart Pegasus Mail. If that fixes things, move the .CNM files back into the NewMail directory one at a time until you get the crash. That will identify which file is the problem.  You can then delete it, or use Notepad to examine the content and glean anything useful out of it before deleting it.

It is probably a pb with mail with .cnm extension that is corrupt. Most probably a very large file (5 to 20 MB). close Pegasus (or simply terminate it), delete that particular file using Windows Explorer and looking in the folder where you keep your mail, restart Pegasus.

Probably your pb will have gone away.

Hallo everyone I am  new here because I have maybe exactly the same Problem, but deleting .cnm files and restarting Pmail dont work.

It is just coming the Window of Pmail an the news "applying mail filtering rules"

Maybe someone can help me.

Are you using Content Control?  If so edit the active definition to make sure that Message Test panel has a non-zero value for "Check at most n bytes",  I suggest 4000.
