The easiest way is just copy. Shut down Pegasus Mail and copy ?:\Pmail folder and sub-folders to desired destination drive. It's easy as that.

 OTOH you may try a backup software that will do a lot more like compressing, incremental or differential copying, etc. There are several freely available in the Net.

Anyway, remember to always shut down Pegasus Mail before backup.

If check time is aimed to 14 minutes, set "Tools » Internet options » Receiving (POP3) » Check for new POP3 mail every:" to 840 seconds. If 15 minutes to 900 seconds.

Thanks for the help...

 I solve my problem, it was just a TLS configuration...

I asked the open-ended question, as the OP may find their answer in the process;
e.g., a Content Control definition is disabled. Or perhaps they are employing blacklisting
another manner, such as a filtering rule, like: If ListScan "@BLACK.PML" Delete "".

He mentioned the use of Mercury. I'm sure this task would be best addressed
via SMTP transaction-level filtering.

What's the complete errormessage?

Who's your provider?

 Did you forward or bounce?

You can send new mails but not forward?

Hmm ... as far as I know there is no way for Pegasus to find and use a standard rulefile outside your folder with the mailbox. What you found seems to be a Folder with a backup. Have a look into that rulefile (simply with editor / notepad). Are there the rules you added?

I checked, waht mailfiles may be there. Maybe I missunderstand, where you created rules:

WINRULES.PMC:  Filter for new mails on opening inbox
WINRULEA.PMC:  Filter for new mails on closing inbox
WINCSELF.PMC:  Filter for copies to self
RULExxxx.PMC:  Common filterset (don't know how this is called in englisch Pegasus)
RULExxxx.PNP:   Filterset for mails during POP3-download

Maybe you created rules of last type and you have been searching for the wrong extension?

Thanks for the response caisson.  I think that Irelam may have the answer.  I'll try.

This is a know limitation of Pegasus Mail and a genuine problem when you get around 1920x1080 resolution.  The fonts in following fields and screens are hardcoded and can't be adjusted:  To, Subject, Signature & Identity fields, configuration screens, spell check screens and popup notices (like the Lazy HTML warning).  Some folks report benefits from using screen magnifying apps.  Adjusting font sizes in Windows will not help.

[quote user="mcat0"]I was receiving messages from CNET and noticed that nothing would appear in the message screen even though the raw view showed considerable data. I am using XP and Win 7 (different computers) and Pmail 4.63 build 325. I unsubscribed to CNET's email messages. I've noticed some other sender's messages do not appear also. I have no idea if this is an HTML issue or what. Any help will be appreciated.

Try switching between fancy and plain text views (press V key) and see if matters.
Ensure you are using the latest version of or BearHTML (which ever you employ).

I'm doing exactly what you want. The solution is very simple: create groups with accounting system of the operating system, where the public folders reside (in my case it's a Novell Netware server). Give groups needed rights to those folders. Accounting has to be handled by OS - not the software on that OS.

Doh! For some reason I ignored that pegasus icon as decoration or "about". Thanks for saving me more wasted time. Appreciated.

Thanks for the tip.

I'm sure that the order in the Folders is hardcoded as:
Mailbox
Mounted (added mailboxes)
Public (System-wide) folders
IMAP

I'm not using the latest and will upgrade.  Actually - the message which does not truncate is a html msg and the one which truncates is not.  But I will upgrade and try again. Thanks.

Since the -roam switch is necessary for me to access my mail on different computers having different available drive letters for USB, it is now clear to me that the easiest solution (for me) is for the entire PMAIL folder to reside in the root directory of the encrypted volume. Thank you all for your comments, which will certainly be useful to those not needing the -roam switch, or for those having more experience and understanding of the processes than me.

> Any thoughts on how I might be able to find the "deleted" folder contents?

After restoring an old version of the file in the same directory? No way [:(]

For the future: if accidently deleting a folder within Pegasus, close Pegasus and do nothing within Windows. Get a recovery tool (if you don't already have, do it on another PC), start it from CD/DVD/USB-Stick/memory card (don't install it on the PC!), go to the directory, where the folderfile resided (your mailboxdirectory) and try recovering the file from deletion. If you do anything within windows (specially if windows writes anything to disc), the on deleting freed sectores of the file may be overwriten and the recovery tool is not able to collect (all) the sectors for recovering the file.

That's what we tell our users here, if they accidently delete anything on their local disks. Most times we are able to recover, if they heed our advice.

Pegasus looks to a file named PMAIL.USR for user information.  This file is located in the root \MAIL directory.  In a default installation this would be C:\PMAIL\MAIL.  One possibility for your problem is that something has happened to this file or Pegasus Mail can't find it.  This could happen if you have the mailboxes located in a remote location and the PC has lost that connection.

See if you can view the contents of the PMAIL.USR file with a text editor.  Each user should be listed in the following format:

      U;username;Personal Name OR A;username;Personal Name

The "U" indicates a normal user, the "A" indicates an administrator.

If you can then look at the directory structure of you \MAIL directory.   The subdirectory names should be the same as the usernames of the users.  These the user mailbox directories.  One should exist for each entry in the PMAIL.USR file.

If all looks good than the PMAILCFG file may have gotten corrupted.  This file tells Pegasus Mail where the mailbox directories reside.  It is located in the directory where the Pegasus Mail executable files are located (default is C:\PMAIL\PROGRAMS).  This file is not editable with a text editor so I suggest a restore from a backup.  If a backup is not available then a reset using the PCONFIG.EXE utility is the next option.  PCONFIG.EXE is a 32 bit DOS app.  Usage is dependent on a 32 bit OS or a DOS emulation app like DOSBOX.  If you need to use PCONFIG it would be worthwhile to do a search in this forum on "PCONFIG".

Indeed, and I am just scratching the surface. I will likley have more questions unrelated to this topic, for which I will post new topics. For now, I have set up two Pmail folders, each on a different drive. Each will be limited to one host. Once I better understand identies, mailboxes, etc., I will then combine them and perhaps have more questions related to this topic. Thanks to all.

[quote user="Madsam"]When I view within the e-mail message in preview mode, and switch to the attachment (F7), it only shows "e-mail message > Plain Text." Any ideas how to extract that image out?[/quote]

Assuming you're referring to an HTML message (which you rather likely do, otherwise it wouldn't display an image) and if you use IERenderer (the default HTML renderer) do a right-click on the image and select Copy image to clipboard from the context menu which allows you to paste it into your favourite image editor to do whatever you want with it.

None of that nor any other idea will do any good  .  .  it seems the Mail folder I saved had mail in it from about 5 - 7 years ago, not any of the most recent.  Do not know where the most recent was saved, every thing was supposed to have been on that Micro Mini Chip.  That is what was moved and saved.

BFluet,

Thank you for the assistance all you gave me to do went well , except where I screwed it into a deep dark bottomless pit.  This is my clue to stop trying to learn more and learn to live with what I have before that is gone.

This has nothing to do with Pegasus Mail or your forums, This is due to my getting to be too old to do what I want, now is my time to do what is needed.  This is one time you cannot do anything about it, because; I am the cause of what has happened.

Thank you so very much for your patience and assistance
