Pegasus Crashed and Recently Used Addresses are Missing

[quote user="Thomas R. Stephenson"]

[quote user="philherz"]Using 4.41 and it's usually rock-stable, but it crashed yesterday and I've noticed a few strange issues upon re-starting.
Any idea at all why it crashed?  If this is a drive problem things like this happen.  When WinPMail tries to write to a bad sector it will crash.

1) Blank message in queue can't be removed. (Fixed by deleting a 0 kb .pmw file)

2) Recently used addresses are all missing.

 This is the winpmfua.pm file in the home mail directory.

I typically keep 4 copies of Pegasus open for the 4 accounts I work with constantly so that I don't have to keep switching users all the time. This is the only account that crashes on a semi-routine basis, especially when I try to save a save a draft email as stationery.

In the case of this crash, it just didn't respond to a request to check spelling or something similar. (I thought maybe my mouse wasn't clicking properly.)

I've just upgraded to 4.50 PB1....maybe that'll help!!!???

Thanks for your help!!!

Using 4.41 and it's usually rock-stable, but it crashed yesterday and I've noticed a few strange issues upon re-starting.

1) Blank message in queue can't be removed. (Fixed by deleting a 0 kb .pmw file)

2) Recently used addresses are all missing.

3) Not sure, but I think my dictionary might be missing words that I'd added to it....

Any way to get those recently used addresses back?

Can that file be backed up???

Possible if the file is corrupted I guess.

Might type searching the home mail directory with one of the "undelete" utilities to recover the file.

Sure, you can (and should) backup all your mail files.[/quote]
