[quote user="janco admin"]Ok so i went in and renamed the PMAIL.ini file and then used version 4.61 and was able to open the user account but now when i open an attachment or minimize its crashing there. [/quote]

If it's a machine with IE 9 installed you need to . Since you're on a network you may need to use Inno unpacker for doing so manually instead of running the installer (if using a server setup of Pegasus Mail). IERenderer is (by 4.61) installed into the identically named subdirectory of Pegasus Mail's program directory.

Zone Alarm may be blocking the connection.  I replaced Zone Alarm with Comodo at home because Zone Alarm was blocking access even though it appeared to be configured correctly.  I don't recall ever being able to successfully temporarily disable Zone Alarm for testing.  It wasn't until I uninstalled it that I confirmed it as the problem.  This goes back a couple of years so may not be pertinent to the current version but there may be a connection if you've always had ZA and have never been able to get an email client to work.

[quote user="Georgy George"]While I have no problem installing this as an administrator via "Run As", the administrator on my system is not a Pegasus user.  The install tries to find a Pegasus registry key which does not exist and fails, so no install.[/quote]

You are not supposed to use Run As since the installer will not be able to read the proper user's HKEY_CURRENT_USER Registry entries exactly as encountered by you: VISTA and Windows 7 deal with this by offering to elevate access rights during installation so the installer can work properly when being launched by a restricted user, and if XP cannot do so then it's due to MS changing this behaviour when introducing more recent versions (and you're the first one to report it since XP didn't enforce non-admin accounts when it was released so most users probably didn't care anyway).

Aside from this Pegasus Mail uses the non-standard approach of creating all of its Registry keys (including the installation path) in HKEY_CURRENT_USER which already forces me to apply certain special efforts for accessing this key. I don't really understand why Windows doesn't offer a way for elevating user rights without becoming another user in the first place, IMO it would have been enough to just prompt for the current user's password for doing so ...

Thanks for that link, and your testing work.
The results page is certainly up to date.

What went wrong re:

[quote user="Thomas R. Stephenson"]

Not sure what you mean about out of date, I've both tested and listed the problems with Pegasus Mail.

[/quote]

 What happened was that I searched on google - scanned the 1st page and picked up a general vibe that info was out of date and that there were problems.
5th on the list was Wine HQ - Pegasus Mail 4.41

The version number didn't impact (maybe cos it was my version) but either way..... this was going to be the info I was looking for.
To be fair, the page looked very good - professional - tests from 2007 to 2009 plus a warning "The test results you have selected are very old and may not represent the current state of Wine."

The reason I point this out, is that, one of googles 'results display' criteria, is clicks on a result ie to visit the page.

This means that pretty much everybody searching using "wine pegasus mail" will end up reading these old test results - because if they were reading the latest results, then that doc would be on the 1st google results page, and higher than the old results doc.

Which means that people are not realising that other test results exist.
They see PM has problems in Wine, and interest has waned - no more tests after 2009 (ah well, it was worth a try), and then bugger off

I honestly believe that you should contact winehq, and request that they modify the warning by inserting, ahead of it, something like "latest test results available here" with a link to the PM folder .

Here is the google search: "wine pegasus mail"

If I do a "select all" and then press delete, I can see it deleting them ONE AT A TIME.

[/quote]

I'm late to the party here, but the problem is that when you just "delete" messages (at least, with default settings), they get moved to the "deleted" folder, which takes about 1 second per message.  Another option is to "select all," and then hold down the Ctrl key while clicking on the Delete button (or pressing the delete key on your keyboard).  That bypasses the deleted mail folder and makes deletion of even a large number of messages almost instantaneous.

I suspect that the download is actually failing and the mail server is resetting the account.  Try downloading just this message using File | Selective mail download.  But before you do this increase the timeout setting in the Tools | Internet options | POP3 setup to something like 180 seconds.

Thanks Brian for trying to help. Here I am in northern BC on a slow link and unable to even re-install as I would do at home. I checked all the things you suggested; the problem persists.

Seems to me that what you're trying to accomplish can't be done without creating and using identies. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that you're confusing users with identities. I recommend that you consult Pegasus help for identities. You'll probably find that they can do a lot of what you want to do, though perhaps not everything. If you want to receive all mails in one inbox and yet be able to reply from the address they were sent to, you may have to change identities manually, but all that takes is one click of the mouse. If, however, you can live with a variety of mail folders, you can set default identities for each of them. Hope this helps a little.

Cheers!

Dear Michael

Thank you once again.  You sorted out my last problem which was remarkably similar as regards solution.

Many thanks indeed.  I need to get a better (personal) memory.

it?

When you have not split the HOME and NEW mail directory the entry for the home mail directory must be either blank (the best option) or matching the actual location os the HOME and NEW mail directory.  Entering a directory here is not a good idea unless you want to have the HOME and NEW mail directories split.

Keep in mind that new mail is not a real folder like the others. It is just a visual representation of the *.cnm files when doing pop3 or local delivery. The newly arrived messages are always added to the top and any with urgent marked on top of the others also. Once you resort or close and open new mail they are then sorted. The new mail in an IMAP mounted box depens on the inbox order on the server. Real folders, *.pmm and *pmi pairs are sorted according to preferences and those are sticky and when closed and opened remain the same as they were.

Hi Guy,

 Thank you very much for your hint. It worked (half the way). Yes, my own hierarchy of folders is expanded now. But not the hierarchy of shared imap folders. They are collapsed after every new start of pegasus mail.

 

One more hint?

 

With kind regards,

[quote user="vdhagen"]

A minor problem remains:  How can you get information about an IMC-folder if you don't know which (if any) IMAP profiles it belongs to?

[/quote]

My local IMAP directory structure:

   MailBox\IMC-3EA
   MailBox\IMC-3EB
   MailBox\IMC-3EC
   MailBox\IMC-3ED
   MailBox\IMC-3EE
   MailBox\IMC-3EF

Upon viewing the IMAP.PM file in a text editor I observe:

   Profile-ID: 1002 corresponds to MailBox\IMC-3EA
   Profile-ID: 1005 corresponds to MailBox\IMC-3ED
   Profile-ID: 1007 corresponds to MailBox\IMC-3EF

Perhaps you may make a similar observation.
