Ok, It's all fixed.

when I was messing around in the mail file I realized there was several files that had the name of my laptop attached to them. I just deleted them and everything is back to normal...Cautionary tale

See for possible (Windows 7 and related) issues.

The only one that appears on Han's list is Left Arrow to  close current tray. No mention of closing all trays.

Thank you, Martin, I will work on this soon.  I appreciate your help.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I think I solved the problem by switching my SMTP server to Godaddy instead of Comcast.  Seems to be working now; if I have further problems I will follow your procedure.

Thanks guys for your prompt and detailed help, really appreciate your efforts and nice to know the Peguasus forum is alive and well even if I seldom need it (thankfully).

Slowly getting things back to normal after my rebuild, and really pleased Pegasus is up and running again and more importantly nothing is lost.  One of those jobs you do infrqeuently, but when it needs doing its back to square one and reading all the manuals etc.[*-)]

 Many thanks

Alan.

Not really since all identities are stored in the pmail.ini file.  If PMail is installed in the network mode though then you are run as the same user from different systems.

If you send only plain text the AOL users probably can handle it.  Since everyone else can handle the HTML though and AOL cannot this needs to be fixed by AOL.  You also though may want to try the following format options:

1.  Tools | Options | Sending mail, uncheck "Send attachments as
    separate messages" and "Enable text file autodetection when
    sending attachments". Check "Don't add 'attachment
    information' sections to Multipart messages", and "Generate
    multipart/alternative versions of richtext messages"  

2.  Tools | Options | Messages and replies check "Use MIME
    features"

3.  Tools | Options | Message formatting uncheck everything under
    "Formatting and use of styling in messages"

I can not understand why make it so difficult?

Pegasus Mail is telling you you have an Autosaved message that you have not finished.   At least one of the messages in the saved messages folder is an Autosaved message.  Either complete it or delete it and the problem will go away.

Which version are you using?  The latest (4.63) has sorted quite a few of these errors.

Assuming that it concerns the composition of an outgoing mail (not hyperlinks in received mail), my understanding is like this:

- If you compose an unformatted (plain text) email (uncheck "rich text"), the hyperlink will be automatically highlighted, not immediately in the composed message, but in the copy-to-self.

- If you compose a formated (html) email, ("rich text" checked), the behaviour above will depend on whether the hyperlink is formatted as hyperlink, which you can control using the respective button in the format bar in the composing message editor.

However, having said that, the behaviour on the recipient's side depends on how the recipient's client handles such hyperlink. Only in case that you have specifically formatted it as hyperlink in an html message, you can be sure that it is always highlighted and clickable regardless whether the recipient opens the message in a client, over a website or whatever.

Hi Olaf. Sorry for the delay.   I have not found the cause of the problem but have the system working.   I had to uninstall Pegasus and then remove every entry relating to Pegasus in the registry, which took some time.  Having carried out a new installlation it now works.  So, corruption somewhere.

Many thanks for your offer of help.

Kind regards

Ron

On my WinXp with PM463 the font seems to be a litlle be smaller ... but no problem to me.

I asume PM463 has no solution on changing font size in addressfields.

The copy self uses only the name of the folder, the tray is not used at all.  If you have folders with the same name in different trays then the copy self will select the first one it finds and store the message there.  Could this be what is happening to you?  

This is not at all related to v4.63, Pegasus Mail has done it this way since about v2.x IIRC.

Did you have your PC on for the whole 49 days, or do you hibernate?

I am running Windows 7 also, but I haven't seen any problems at the 49th day. I do hibernate each night, so I'm not running for a continuous 49 days solid.

Cheers

Thanks - it was a "senior moment" or, more likely, a "senior long time"

Thank you! I'm all set now.

[You know you have to advice that ruleset in the download configuration of your POP3 configuration?]

Yes I picked up on that from reading another post somewhere.

The thing that appeared to make it all work was unclicking "Leave on server" and clicking on "Delete on server" under download controls.

I have to wait another few days to see whether old emails start dropping off at the end of 14 days.

On to the next problem of URL access from Pegasus but I'll open another thread for that.
