Yesterday my New Mail folder suddenly disappeared from view. I can't get it back by clicking on open/rescan new mail, nor with Ctrl-L. I can download a message into it, and it increments the total of new messages, I just can't see them! Can I restore it without removing Pegasus and reinstalling from scratch?


Thanks in advance, Ann


Sadly Brian this didn't work. I think you're right that it is opening off-screen, but I deleted the New mail= line and still not joy. Only references to new are

I was reading that Pegasus mail could open .msg files.


This not only is the file extension which MS Outlook uses, but is also used by my ISP Sonic.net.


I found the reference here:


A guide to Pegasus Mail filenames and file-extensions.


(Extensions existing in the "home mailbox directory".)


vandenbogaerde.net/pegasusmail/pf_pmfiles.html


I have not however been able to open saved email messages with the .msg file extension.


Thank You
Don R.

Good day!


After the official Windows update to 24H2, whenever I try to MOVE or COPY a message to another folder upon clicking the MOVE or COPY (and possibly other icons) PMail completely freezes and I need to end it via taskmanager. This is reproducable.


Do others have that as well, is this known and do we have a work around for that?

Very welcome and useful news from David on how Pegasus is developing.

Kudos for all the seriously hard work, and keep us informed in detail.


Just a thought - I have no idea if this would help, and AI is currently used for fixing or curing anything like faulty toothbrushes and saggy underwear, etc. But it does seem to be helpful in coding, at least by some, e.g. in going from C+ to Rust, etc. Whether it is transparent and auditable enough I cannot say. Which goes to the issue of does it really save time, net of learning curves etc.? David obviously knows what he is doing and what is the best use of his time. But might be worth a try, or at least a look and test?

Pegasus help says you can have a distribution list with thousands of names. I have a list of 1800 names that have all opted to receive monthly announcements from me. What would happen if I put them on a Distribution List and emailed the list? My isp is Pair Networks. I'd rather send them as merged emails to make them more personal and important. But 1800 of them at one time?
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
On one of the PC's
Sudden the above message appears instead of the email text.
this message contain binary or non-textual data that cannot be previewed within Pegasus Mail
An hour before everything worked perfect with Pegasus v4.81
In between no software operation or action was done.


What is already done :
. Pegasus restarted
. PC restarted
No results !!


How to proceed ?


Kind regards

Does anyone know if Pegasus will run on a computer with the Snapdragon X processor, instead of intel? (I'm looking for the lightest, reliable tablet, 12", that will run non-microsoft Windows programs--so far the best, as well as cheapest, I can find is the MS Surface, which is now AI-centric.)

Is there a 'Black List' option in Pegasus whereby I can block emails from being received from some addresses, please? Recently, I have been inundated with unsolicited emails, mostly from the Far East, thinking I am some sort of engineering company! Thanks for any help.

I might be asking Pegasus to do something that is not possible but I would like to send mail from Pegasus to the SMTP server at Yahoo (converted from Cox) but have it show to the recipient as having come from my preferred gmail account. I thought I could do this by marking the "Use an alternate email address for the envelope" option in the SMTP General settings.

671870de7c293


The alternate email option is not marked in the image above but when I do turn it on and try to send an email with that option on, I get the following error.


20:22:13.367: --- 22 Oct 2024, 20:22:13.367 ---

It appears to login successfully to my Cox (Yahoo) account but then comes up with the "Mailbox unavailable" error.


When I have the option set off, the mail is sent correctly but with my Cox email address as the sender.


Am I using this option incorrectly or is it even possible to do this in Pegasus?

Wonder if anyone knows more about this? In my tests with outlook web site, it gave info on this, so I installed on phone.


Sometimes when I open outlook via browser, it has popped up with a message that it sent a code to my gmail, and have to check the code and enter it to get connected. Other times the authenticator beeps on phone, but web pages just opens with no code required.


Don't know if their might be a way to setup Pegasus with the authenticator? App doesn't show much info in its help?

I recently installed v4.8 DE ( Full international versions of Pegasus Mail
Completely translated versions, including the setup program from ) on a Win 11 host, since then AVIRA thinks winpm-32.exe is dangerous and puts in it to quarantine.


Thus to use PMAIL I have either to deactivate AVIRA Security program or to reinstall PMAIL every time I wish to use it.


Furthermore, I am quite sure I was able to start winpm-32.exe using a link an providing command line parameters (to use german language interface and become a certain user via -U switch immediately on startup). I already tried creating a winpm-32.bat file containing


winpm-32.exe -U <username> -X DE


but failed.


Does anybody have any suggestions?


Thanks in advance.

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.
Craig
