On Windows 10. Have been using Pegasus for many years. Currently on 4.73. I have always used PMail with -Roam switch on a portable external drive, and it has always worked fine. The Sendto uitility is selected as the default mail app and that has always worked fine. However, I am now getting an error when trying to mailto from a website: "Can't communicate with Pegasus." Appreciate any help.

My messages to other peoples' gmail.com addresses have started being bounced, and the fix I need is to set up my SMTP server use properly. I've got it to work in another (lesser) email client, but I've struggled with configuring Pegasus Mail.

It's not my SMTP server. The settings specified by the email provider are
Security - SSL
Outgoing Port - 465 or 587
Authentication - Password

I've tried various combinations of direct SSL or STARTTLS, port 465 or port 587. Haven't found one which works yet.

Here's the trace showing the SMTP transaction for direct SSL, port 465. What do I need to adjust?

When I delete messages, I get the response that the file is overfull (up to 2 gigs apparently).... and nothing more can be copied/saved into it. Apparently the deleted file should be compressed to save space, that's what the message says.... Why can't the deleted file simply be emptied completely??
I have no idea about this, being a very naive user (have used Pegasus mail for years but have no idea how it works, sorry..).
Can anyone explain the problem to me in simple terms, and how to resolve it?
Or should I just take my device to a local geek and get him to fix it..?
Thanks for any advice...

Hi,
Please help if you can. I have an issue with Gmail and only with some emails with attachments. I can only log in through webmail, find and delete the "bad" email and then its working again.

Edit 05.02.24: after trying to download the same email from different server, I have the same error...

Pmail runs on win10 and updated to latest Version 4.81.1154

Regards
Madis

Gentlemen:
I wish to apologize for not getting back to all to let everyone know I'm back together as one of the other community members did a remote access to my computer and corrected problems for which I am extremely grateful.It seems this was the only way to solve the problem at hand and was very beneficial because as I feel it is so much better to look and see the problem than trying to read the many ways to fix.

Anyway I feel good and releaved the problem(s) have been solved and I'm back

Many thanks to all that tried to help

I'm really interested to know what David Harris' source of the news that Microsoft is phasing out support for Win32 applications is, since nobody else seems to know anything about it. It's true that Windows 11 and beyond will not have a 32 bit VERSION, and that free support for Windows 10 (which is available in both a 32 and 64 bit version) is ending in October 2025 (not "this year." ) But the 64 bit VERSION of Win 11 runs both 64 bit and 32 bit APPLICATIONS just fine and I've heard nothing from anyone else about any plans to change that.

Mr. Harris has been saying 32 bit applications are going away for years and that worries me.

Info that is of interest on development status from Mr. Harris.

Hi Everyone!

First-timer here so please pardon me if i miss any expected etiquette requirements

Currently, for emails that Pegasus Mail sends out, i noticed the raw headers of the received email has the field "X-mailer" which shows that the sender is using Pegasus Mail and the software version number.

In the interest of security and confidentiality, is there any way to remove or at least modify the abovementioned X-mailer field so anyone who intercepts the email in transit will not be able to see what the sender's email client software and/or version number is?

Modifying the pmail.ini file doesn't work, so hoping to find the answer here. Thanks in advance for any pointers you can give!

Pegasus generally works fine for most messages. But some messages, typically from institutions, start off with pages of text relating to formatting such as margins, fonts, etc. After scrolling down I eventually find the message. I just updated to version 4.8 but find the same problem. This is on my desktop computer which is running Windows 7. If I view the same message on my laptop which runs Windows 10 but Pegasus is set up the same way, the problem disappears. How can I get rid of the garbage with these emails?

I receive emails ok but get this message when I send:
11:22:09.863: >> 550 5.1.0 sender rejected. The email address you are sending as must match the email address you used to auth. Please check your SMTP settings. AUP#Out-1500

This problem started late last year.

My setup looks fine.
I talked to Spectrum Support and since I can send and receive email via spectrum webmail they say its pmail problem.
The header looks like this:

In the folder list, the mailbox name is blank instead of showing as "My mailbox". I have seen this before and know that somewhere in the cobwebs of my brain is the explanation but I can't conjure it so am asking if anyone can remind of the cause and the easiest cure.

Hello - I have a number of users with a huge amount of folders.
There is a problem with a few...I can use mbxmaint to repair but I'd really like to be able to quickly see what the 'long name' of the folder is cross referencing with it's 'filename'....so I need to be able to identify FOL02D7F.PMM for example in Pegasus without going through each folder & checking 'Folder info'
I'm sure I'm missing something simple!
Cheers

Hi all,
I have a issue with IERenderer (even as of current 2.7.1.5):
when pasting formatted text (maybe a headline from a PDF or something similiar), an additional NEWLINE is added to the pasted text:

hello world.

hello PASTED CONTENT
world.

"Paste special..." with unformatted text works fine.

any clues?

TIA
Marc

hard to find the right category for IERenderer.
Hopefully I'm not totally wrong here ;-)

As I had mentioned to a plea for help by a possible remote access, i was asked:

What is your domain for account? After the @ since it list different info for various domains.

ANSWER

TWC.com and any domain ending in .rr.com not covered above

Incoming Email Server: mail.twc.com
Outgoing Email Server: mail.twc.com

I tried but not kicking in and asking if somebody would check my settings

Is there a list of new features in 4.81?

Sorry folks but I continue to be most certainly NOT the sharpest tool in the shed as I keep trying to get the mail program back. i have all suggestions given but so confused you would not believe. I even tried to contact Spectrum for proper pop3 credentials and they tried to push the IMAP on to and saying they're getting away from POP3.....I have so many settings pushed into trying that I'm wondering if I'll evenmake it further into my 80s

I'm now requesting that maybe an honorable, respectable person or moderator can remote access my computer and straighten all my settings out so I can get back to normal instead of using the Spectrum webmail and going back and forth. i am so confused and i have no friends around me using Pegasus. I don't want to change as I always liked this program. so are there any takers? I want to stop bothering you folks that have been good to me but I'm lost

Hi, all!

From this morning, display font in message composing is not working properly. Spacing between letters and between words is inconsistent, and spacing for the beginning of the line changes while typing new words.

There is also a smaller problem with line spacing : the blinking caret is shifted up and the next line overlaps the bottom of the previous one.

I changed font from the toolbar as well as the default, no improvement. In "To:" or "Subject" it works well, even if according to the .INI file, it should use the same font as in the body

I'm working on Windows 11.

I also tried to :

• reboot the PC and install the latest system updates

• force PM compatibility mode to Windows XP,

• force my dual-screen display scale to 100% for both

• Install a fresh copy of PM in another folder and check the editor

with no luck.

Am I the only one to experience this problem?

I have somewhat an unorthodox question directed to Brian Fluet and wondered if he could contact me privately. No offense to anyone else but if I remember he also has Spectrum and I have questions regarding their specifications for set up as what they are suggesting as far as any credentials do not seem to be working. I would like to ask other questions

Thank you friends

I've called a couple of people to see if msg is received and they seemed to have received ok so I'm wondering what gives. I find myself going to the Spectrum webmail in order to send

[2] Also on another matter I was asked if my renderer had latest version.....where do i go to check this?

[3] also I still want to raise my default print when reading and/or composing messages as my sight not that great and everything is so small to read.....never seemed that way before.

As mentioned before, i hate to bother people but I'd like to square these away

I have used Pegasus for many years and am now on 4.63. Once a year I make use of the mail merge facility to send Christmas cards to our clients. I went to a lot of trouble to keep the graphic small so as not to irritate anyone and feedback has been very positive.

We also personalise them with a brief message, stored with the address and name in the merge data file. In past years the messages have all bee in English, but this year a colleague thought it would be extra friendly to provide Chinese and Korean script.

I know I can send Chinese script successfully, I have chosen to use UTF-8 as the default for all my mail.

I also know that the data file successfully contains the Chinese characters, encoded UTF-8.

Sadly the merge fails, the Chinese script is garbled. So I suspect that the code which reads the merge data file assumes ANSI and cannot cope with anything else. I cannot find any guidance on the subject in the help file.

Two questions:

1. Is it possible to use a non-ANSI data file, i.e. is further experimentation futile ?

2. What encoding will work, or how do I flag the presence of wide character data to the process which reads the merge data?

I guess an answer would require someone to know the OS command used to read strings in from the data file. To keep the answer short and not too onerous, just knowing the function used might allow me to figure it out.

Many thanks to anyone who can throw light on it.
