You don't need to crreate the new folders on your main computer. Just transfer/copy the two folders you created on your laptop to the main computer, then fire up Pegasus on the main computer. Pegasus will see the new folders and they will appear in your mail folder window.

Cheers

Thank you for your responses.

I probably should have elaborated a bit more on my configuration, as I am not using POP3, mercury is configured for SMTP using the MERCURYS and MERCURYE server/client.

To confirm that when I go to File - Selective download, I'll get the error message "no active POP3 definitions".

 Also this will happen whether I have pegasus setup in on or offline mode. (Or even if I turn off the Mercury service, that message just keeps coming)

Hi - not sure what you mean when you say

"tried this", or

the "pointing" bit referring to the old Peg (before or after any reassigning of the home mail box location?

or the "few" (but unspecified) parameters that need updating etc. 

the assumption that the user is comfy editting ini files....

These little semantics are very important clues about what might be going on.  A lot of the time, people get in trouble because they are not specific enough. 

Remember, most computers and software have trouble mind-reading.  We are of course working on it...[;)]

Sorry. I was replying to hfineberg's post. I've edited my post to clear that up.

I'll wait for his response before I go any further, due to what could be a complexity in doing it the way I suggested. If hfineberg is fine with editing files, and understands pointing, then it's probably an easy way to get it working, if there isn't any other hiccup elsewhere. If he isn't comfortable with editing files, then I won't pursue this method.

Your way would be an easier way for some dudes as there isn't any file modification necessary.

Cheers

Thank you!  That was very helpful.  I apologize for not finding it myself.

Best regards,

Gary

That's good.  It is in the RTF format that is used for most 'fancy' text internally.

Please explain what you mean here.  When is this happening and how long does it take?

Hi Brian,

Well, #2 seems to have done the trick! I've actually lost very little mail in the interim since I checked mail using my ipod set to leave it on the server. After closing and opening Pegasus 6-7 times, I downloaded all my new mail and all is still well. Thank you for your help. Now the question is: Will it happen again? Stay tuned, I hope not. Thanks again.

David

So I have fixed the issue by simply getting the network chappie to allow access from the secondary computer to the C:\pmail directory and to permit all changes etc. So the secondary computer now can open the program with no issues and run it from there. There is another problem but I think I will post that separately - there is no LCK file created, so the program can actually be open on both at the same time, even though they are both using the same mailbox.

Thanks to all for the suggestions and help. 

Based on the lack of responses I suspect everyone is a clueless as I am.  Have you checked to see whether the part that appears to be missing is visible in the Raw view of one of these copied to self messages?

Thank you for your reply. Yup, it was a local setting after all. It's all good now. Thanks!

This problem with Outlook and winmail.dat usually occurs when Exchange is not configured correctly.

In Pegasus Mail use Tools > Options > Messages and replies and make sure that MIME and Rich (formatted) text are On. On rare occassions a message will become corrupted and the recipient will see garbage, but this will happen with all email clients, not just Outlook. So long as the formatting options are set correctly, your recipients should not experience any problems.

That's a good idea. I use Postbox at home and that polls several POP3 and IMAP accounts and it has an 'All mail' node. It is useful to be able to list all the messages so that I can see at a glance what has arrived instead of selecting each mail account individually. Also, it is much faster to find a message when you know From, subject or Date. However, searching in Postbox is quite different as the results are nearly instantaneous.

[quote user="idw"]The uninstaller tests for write access to WINPM-32.EXE since this is the only way to test for running network installations. If write access is denied for whatever other reasons it fails.[/quote]

WINPM-32.EXE doesn't exist on my system. Likely because I've already uninstalled Pegasus Mail, however the renderer was not removed automatically at that time.

The behaviour is somewhat counter intuitive. I installed only one product, but for a successful uninstall I have to uninstall two products, and in a specific sequence for the uninstall to work.

Reinstalled Pegasus Mail, uninstalled the renderer, then uninstalled Pegasus Mail with success.

Thanks for the tip!

I'm glad the goal is for the print preview to return. 

Hmmm, print without print preview or print preview without print, what a conundrum.  I think you made the right decision.

Many thanks for that Jerry - it worked a treat.  I had no idea you could repair files if Pegasus wouldn't run, so at least I've learnt something today.

(and yes - it was a user-created file)

Hi, wbrook,

I'm having what seems to be an identical problem.  I'm running the latest Pegasus (having been an enthusiastic user and advocate for about 10 years!).  I copied my Admin folder from a desktop running XP and Pegasus 4.63, and substituted it for the same folder on a new Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 Home and the samenewly-installed version of pmail.  I receive mail via a Verizon server and have no download problems at all.  But at this point, no messages go out.  They remain queued despite several attempts to reestablish connections to outgoing mail server.  Nothing.  Nada.  The error message is similar to yours

[*] Connection established to 206.46.232.12
>> 0089 421 Cannot connect to SMTP server 206.46.232.12 (206.46.232.12:25), connect error 10060
<< 0022 EHLO [192.168.1.102]
7: Socket read error 2745.

I'd appreciate knowing what you did to cure your problem, do a workaround, or other fix.  Or, if you weren't able to fix the beast, what email client have you adopted instead of Pegasus???  I really like this application, and have LOTS of distribution lists, folders and more in this application and enjoy its power and flexibility.  I'd like to stay with it.  But, and it's a large "but," I have to be able to send mail easily and quickly without logging into my ISP just to send a message!!!

 Thanks and hope to hear from you or others...    David

Hi Steffan

Got the messages and will check them out shortly

Martin 

hello,

I am sorry that I can't provide a solution, but I am interested in this problem.

Did you eventually sort it out in the meantime?

regards, peter

I modified the script ... but it ends up leaving the archive attribute set to off for all .pmm files.  I don't see this as a problem but welcome feedback or any other suggestions for a workaround.

Actually this would be a problem for me, I use the archive bit in incremental backups.
One solution is to store and reapply the the "lack of archive bit" state.
