I just set up Pegasus email. I used the same info that work with 2 other email clients. But when I tried to send a test email, i get:

"Delivery has failed on the enclosed message for the following reasons reported either by the mail delivery system on the mail relay host or by the local TCP/IP transport module:

TCP/IP error while processing job
A network error has occurred while WinPMail attempted to send your message.

The SMTP server I use is "insecure."

Would appreciate suggestions. Thanks.

I just received an email from MS stating that I will no longer be able to retrieve my email after 09/16/24 due their discontinuance of "Basic Authentication". I have also read that there is little chance (due to complexity) of Pegasus Mail for Windows ever incorporating "Modern Authentication" for Microsoft. I have also read the author's take on it and respect his opinion.

BUT... now I'm in trouble. I have used Pegasus Mail for around 20 years. I utilize it for my filing tray, keeping records of both personal and financial exchanges. It is my "GoTo" when a question regarding the past arises. I DON'T want to abandon PM but I don't see how I can stay with it.

I notice that PM v4.81 with OAUTH2 for Google was never moved from Beta. I don't care for GMail and their "labels" anyway... I like "folders".

First, my heartfelt thanks to David for providing such a fantastic email client for so many years.

Second, I am in need of options at this point. I have PM folders containing 20 years of info that I'd like to keep. I ALSO wish to continue to RETRIEVE my mail and store it locally as opposed to keeping it on a cloud. Internet providers have all but abandoned email services... at least in my location.

All thought would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi folks -

For a couple of years, I haven't been able to find a way to permanently set, as a default, the font size for the message body of outgoing messages.

The current default is 10 points which is smaller than I would prefer.

I can highlight the message body, click "f" for font, and scroll down to, say, 12 points, which does change the message font size, but I can't find a way to permanently change the default.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks,

Eleanor White

After updating to 4.81 my network configuration gets lost when I close Pmail. I have to select Pop3 and SMTP configuration each time after start again.
Note: After upgrading, I changed to the english version in between to change some settings.
In which files is the active network configuration stored?

I have a folder containing about 300 emails and I need to export the messages so that another person can read them in another email program. My version of PM does not have export or back up in its menu. Version info below.

How do I export the messages?

Thanks

Tom Jennings

My Cox Email has been migrated to Yahoo. I have configured the Network Configuration in PMail for Yahoo. I am using POP. I can retrieve/delete my email for my Cox Account on Yahoo.

I've generated an APP password for PMail.

I'm unable to Send (SMTP) from PMAIL to Yahoo. This is the Trace showing end of transaction. I've masked the sending and recipient email address in the trace.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong in my configuration?

My wife has been using Pegasus for going on 30 years, and has created a unique message filing system.. nested folders within nested folders.. like hundreds of filing trays with filing trays below them, and many thousands (10's of thousands?) of emails in them.

Example:
Topic 1, with sub topics, May 2020, June 2020, July 2020, etc.
She may well have subfolders under each; Subject 1,Subject 2, etc. under May 2020, and again same or similar named subfolders under June 2020 folder, and July, etc. (The subfolder names make sense only to her.. ). The messages are located under those subfolders (filing trays).

Well, it appears she did something in the course of "organizing emails" (not sure what. Moved, maybe?) and the folder/filing tray "Topic 1" can no longer be found.

I've expanded all the folders, but can not find the "Topic 1" folder anywhere..

But I can text search (headers) for emails sent from a particular sender that would have been filed somewhere under "Topic 1", and have found about 4800+ messages that appear to be emails that would be under that topic 1, so they still exist somewhere. However, the displayed location folder/filing tray in the search results doesn't include the full path, so I can not locate the parent folder those messages are (now) nested in or under.

So the question is, can I/how can I locate precisely where the actual email message(s) that were found and listed in the search results folder, are now actually residing in the Pegasus folder list?

Is there an alternative?

Since this doesn't fit into the thread about using App passwords in Pegasus Mail with MS mail accounts I'm posting this URL in a new thread: The page linked to provides further URLs to information about various other authentication issues related to MS mail accounts. It's for informational purposes as a starting point for figuring out more details since it primarily deals with Exchange related connection building:

Hello all

Preview of mail message, internal and over peer to peer network unreadable. This is an example - happening more often, but still erratic - How do I fix this?

Thanks,
Donald.

My ten year old laptop got permanently knocked out of use recently by a catastrophic malware attack. The new laptop is running Windows 11. I copied across the PMAIL folder and contents to the C:\ drive, fired up C:\Pmail\Programs\winpm-32.exe and was delighted to see my old friend burst into life. I created a shortcut etc. to make it easier to start, and everything is working fine as far as I can see.

A few questions have come to mind:

1. I haven't actually installed the program so it does not get listed as an app. Does Windows know about it? I do know that the program is using Appdata\Local\Temp for environment variables. Does it matter that the program hasn't actually been installed?
2. I am currently running Version 4.70 (win32), Feb 27 2014, build 546 which is waaaay out of date but does everything I want. I believe that I should be able to install the current (beta) version over the top of it to bring it up-to-date. Is there any particular reason why I should do this, given that I don't have any issues with 4.70? I'm getting old and work along the lines of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
3. Is there anything I can do to move the program into the Program Files (x86) folder? I'm not keen putting stuff at the C:\ level. I know that I cannot just move the PMAIL folder and contents there because the configuration file will still point to C:\paths so the program will not be able to find what it needs. Would installing the up-to-date version somehow give me the option of getting stuff in the right place?

I have been using Pegasus mail for over 25 years and am still hooked on it. Many thanks to David and everyone else involved in producing and supporting this wonderful piece of software!
Thanks,
Nigel

I want to move or copy files out of my "Copies to self" folder to save space but every tie I do I get an error, must re-index the folder, and they come back.

My "copies to self" default is collecting thousands of emails over time as I keep them for historical purposes and records. There are so many that it now take over 20 minutes to open and list.

How can I move them to another folder/message tray to clear out the "Copies to self folder" and save space without geeting the error that requires me to "re-index" only to have them all come back?

Recently, I have problems sending emails to Germany. The mails sent are returned with the error: The header field "Date" is syntactically not correct. See image:
How can I correct this? Using Pmail V4.8 on imap.

It's possible that my Google account got hacked. I'm not sure. The situation was very confusing. It's supposedly OK now, but as a precaution, I changed my Google password. I changed it in PM, but I forgot that PM blocks showing the actual PW, and evidently, I had put in the application specific PW for PM for OAUTH2. So, I no longer have that entry. The error msg from Gmail says "Application specific password required". Can someone tell me how to fix that?

My mobile phone (Android) seems to be working OK for Gmail.

Hi!

We have a single mailbox, but have multiple distribution list with different names like abc@domain.com, bcd@domain.com, but these are having single mailbox, can we use as separate emails in Pegasus mail, if yes can someone guide how?

Starting about 7-10 days ago, a few emails that are on the server that did not get downloaded into Pegasus 4.80. In case it's important, I am using custom URL in Google Workspace email.

Any suggestions?

This version fixes two crashes emerging just after the previous release:

• The first one would occur immediately after launching Pegasus Mail if IER's Auto Update option is enabled via its toolbar button menu.

• The second one would occur if BearHtml is invoked for displaying complex HTML messages after IER has been disabled via its toolbar button menu.

Please click the link to IER's homepage down below in my signature for downloading.

IERenderer 2.7.1.12 has been released

· This version fixes the new hyperlink auto-detection feature which would accidentally remove text formatting including line breaks or existing hyperlinks in certain messages and in rare cases even cause crashes.
· It also restores the timeout notification dialog for cancelling image downloads on user request if downloads keep on failing.
· Then it enables the fallback enable dialog for using non-secure image downloads if no https addresses are supplied.
· And it fixes and simplifies the background picture handling.

Please click the link to IER's homepage down below in my signature for downloading.

When I installed the latest update for IERenderer Version 2.7.1.12 , Pegasus Mail will not open. I get the error message "Pegasus Mail for windows has stopped working" (A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available).

How can I UN-install Version 2.7.1.12 and get my primary email back up and running? Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello & good day. I have a user who sends out finance info in pdf form - recently he's started sending out over 10 attachments. When this happens Pegasus is splitting the email into two separate messages...this has resulted in other users deleting one of the emails believing it to be in error.
Can I change what looks like a default max no of attachments or is it a size issue...they do seem to be coming it at 5mb.
Mercury is used as mail server.
Look forward to any info
Cheers
