Creating a pdf in a batch with all messages attached is a long wished feature. I would like to test "ABC Amber Pegasus Converter", but unfortunately the author of the software stopped selling and distributing it. I somebody knows a save place to download it, preferable the last version 5.06 let me know.

Note: I don't ask for help to steal the software. If I found it useful I would happily pay the author for his work. (Although after doing some heavy google searching I think this will not be possible). 

Brand new user here, but I've been working on getting my numerous (and some large) mail accounts centralized on pmail.

Thought I'd give you some feedback since I've likely hit some corner cases.  And I'll start off by saying that I'm quite happy with this program.

System: Vista SP2, 64 bit, running pmail (win32) in default install location on my C: drive.  Using it to access (download and send) to several email accounts via POP3.

I successfully downloaded a mailbox with 3050 mails.  Set it to run overnight.  Pmail did crash when I tried to move them all from "New mail" to another folder, but seems to have moved around 3000 of them first.  And in the crash I lost 3 of my identities (I have 6 so far plus the default).  But the pop3 and smtp profiles were still there so it was very easy to reset up the identities.  Next time I download so many I'll try restarting pmail before I do the move - and see how that goes.

I did a lot of successful setup of smaller email accounts, moving things around, creating/deleting folders (as I figured out how I wanted things and how this program works) while only restarting pmail a couple of times and having it running for hours and hours.  No crashes.  Nice work.

It took a bit to understand how to setup and use the identities.  It seems to have changed from how it worked before since many of the forum posts I read mentioned different options to set it up.  Looks like it's been improved.  And this feature is a major reason I chose pmail.  I'm very happy with how it's working for me now.

Archiving is very important to me.  Since I'm finally organizing my last 5 years worth of email.  I found the forum posting about how to do that and was thrilled.  Started working on it, no problems.  Then I detached and reattached - and everything disappeared.  Well, the data was still there - but not showing up in pmail.  I found that PMRestArch program which fixed it once, but not again.  And by looking at what PMRestArch was doing and examining the index and pmm files, I was able to figure out what was going on - and fix it myself.  I'm quite pleased that the file format lets me do that.  (Another reason I chose pmail.  Although I do understand the desire to have encrypted mail.)

Here are a couple of notes that the programmer may or may not be aware of.

- If you're using an archive path of something like E:\Email\Arch0001, this won't work.  I understood when long files names didn't work, since it seems to be using 8.3 file names.  But the archive path, at least the second level (didn't test the top level) must be 7 or less.  Anything over 7 is silently overwritten when it's written to the hierarchy index file. (For example, E:\Email\Arch0001 became E:\\Email\\Arch000 in the hierarchy file.)  A check for a legitimate path would be good in the "Folders|Add to mailbox list...".

- The hierarchy index seems to keep the detached mailbox entries (this was actually useful in debugging), but when you reattach and don't use the exact same name for the mailbox (the one in the pmail list, not the file path), then pmail doesn't seem to be able to handle that properly.  (I didn't go back and test only that specific change, so it may have been a side effect of something else I did.)

Anyway, I'm very happy with the program.  And hopefully, my feedback is useful.

One comment about Archiving. I actually use the "ABC Amber Pegasus Converter" software and dumps a folder to a pdf-file on a regular basis as my archive. Eventually the folders gets very big and when a project or assignment is done dump it all to a pdf-file. Very convinient I think. Just as an idea for anyone who wants to try.
