[quote user="Mike Powell"]I have Pegaus 4.21c installed on a Windows XP computer with two mailboxes established. One is working fine but when I try to change user to get to the other, it hangs up when applying mail filtering rules. Trying to enter directly doesn't work - endless hourglass on the desktop.
The last thing I did was send out two large sound files - approx 15MB each - copied to myself. Was this a mistake?
Yes if there is any server at all along the line that will not accept the encoded 15 MByte files. The messages will be bounced back. In addition a 15 MByte sound file will be closer to 20 MBytes when encoded in a message.
Has it overpowered the system? If so, is there any way of rectifying the situation?
The messages have probably bounced and there is an even larger bounce message in the inbox where both filtering and content control is trying to process. Go to the new mail directory and move (or delete) these huge CNM files and PMail will open normally.
Alternatively I notice a 0kb MAILBOXP.LCK file in the 'problemfiles' folder, which then appears at the top of the list in my C:\PMAIL\MAILl folder each time I try to gain entry. Apologies if this has been posted before - I did check a few other threads which appeared promising that they were about differenct problems. Any advice very welocme.[/quote]
