Thanks to both of you, that did the trick

What a wonderful utility, Thomas, it does exactly what I wanted.  Many thanks for referring me to it.  I like some of the other Pegasus utilities on that web-page as well.

Could you send me one of these imported messages (irelam@telus.net) and I will try to investigate.

[quote user="jss1941"]There is definitely a problem with even the latest version of IErenderer which is obviously sensitive to some HTML content in emails.[/quote]

There will probably always be one sooner or later, here's something else you can do: Please install the (latest version of the) , and when Pegasus Mail appears to "hang" launch PMDebug Snapshot from MiniDump's Start menu group (if you allowed the setup to create one). After restarting Pegasus Mail you should get prompted with an auto-saved message alert opening the previously created snapshot message to be sent to our test account as filled in. Providing the culprit message would help a lot as well, of course - provided I can duplicate the issue.

We had exactly the same issue. I just asked our staff to put the full address user@domain.com for local users in the cc field rather than the short local address.  Pegasus Mail has the ability to remember addresses and will auto-complete them.

[quote user="mollym"]Any suggestions? [/quote]

Once you can provide a duplicatable sequence of actions causing this we may be able to fix it, otherwise I have absolutely no idea. BTW: Can you provide a screenshot so I get an idea of what you encounter (I don't really understand the over the icons for ... part).

New to Pegasus.  I've imported my address book as a tab delim file.  I can, depending on how I have the import file set up to show either nicknames or the address.  It seems that Pegasus won't auto fill an address.  Is that correct?  Example: I have a friend named Aldo, if I type in his name, or the beginning of his email address-- acm  neither fills in.  Is there a different way I should be importing?  The other issue is  the spell check. It's not very good, is there a third party that is better?

Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

[quote user="Fiery_WA"]I have been scouring through pegasus and cannot find a way to import contacts or messages, I currently have Windows Live Mail installed on my Vista machine.  I didn't like the email program that came with vista.[/quote]

You may want to check the already dealing with such issues.

Yep! Many thanks.

[quote user="Nachum Sicherman"]In my case I specified the location of home mailbox (in preference and setting), to be g:\private\mail\.  When I checked this directory right after the crash, the MAIN.PMM was gone (I am not sure about the MAIN.PMI or MAIN.PMT.[/quote]

If the MAIN.PMI file still exists delete it, if this doesn't help go to Pegasus Mail's program directory (the one containing WINPM-32.EXE) and run MBXMAINT_UI.EXE on MAIN.PMM (repair).

[quote user="Six..Pack"]I don't know the reason, but suddenly Pegasus needs 99% of the CPU and my system slows down.

I searched in internet, but there is no solution.[/quote]

Searched the wrong places, see .

Thank you for your response. It didn't work, but that's not the whole story, I appreciated the quick, knowledgeable response. I ended up re-loading and copying back files by trial and error.

The setting is in Tools | Internet options | (Receiving)POP3 when editing the POP3 setup.

Timeout:  The length of time Pegasus Mail should wait on a reply from the host before concluding that there is a communication problem and giving up. If you enter zero (0) in this field, Pegasus Mail will use the default timeout that appears on the General Internet mail settings  page of the Internet Options dialog.

Ok.

Selective mail download is only downloading the headers, not the entire message but this can take a long time to download the list of the messages in the mailbox when you have thousands of messages.  Turn on session logging for an example of what happens with a selective mail download.  I'd recommend that you do this for an account with fewer messages since the mailbox with thousands of messages can take a long time.  It took nearly 1 minute to list 290 messages in my example below; downloading the headers took another 3 minutes.

Here's a snippet from a selective mail download:

 > Perhaps I will add a brief request to the Pegasus Mail Suggestions that

the message number should apply to both full and selective download.

I'll pass this one along to the testers and David Harris.

I have marked the work-around above as a solution, but I still think this is a bug.

Do I remember correctly that the same procedure is required for other changes to the child window? Like making column widths stick between sessions?

Cheers,

Erik

Thomas, The utilities Newsmail and Newspost do still work, but I am unable to test them as my ISP no longer supports NNTP services.  I am currently using one of the free NewsGroup services from Sweden, on a daily basis. For the access to Pegasus Mail newsgroups I recommend that users try XNews.

[quote user="Stardance"]Which means that, when most exceptions

occur, WinPmail doesn't have any of the error data which is available

from Windows when the OS or even the program itself detects or

encounters an error condition.[/quote]

Take a look at Tools => Internet options => General at the bottom and read the help about Internet session logging.

[quote user="idw"]

Well, this isn't the whole story: You may also "mount" other mailboxes of other users if Windows allows you to access the respective directories depending on your local setup: This can be done via entering a user name or directory, i.e. any user can "mount" any other user's mailbox if having proper (Windows) access rights (Folders menu => Add mailbox to list). Accessing other Windows users' mailboxes may be a little more difficult to achieve, but there certainly is a way ( knows best).

[/quote]

I had seen Thomas Stephenson's posts in relation to this, but I don't know the level of functionality that is achieved by doing it.

[quote user="Stardance"]Okay then, what are the "number of assumptions" that Pegasus makes about

where its data can be found? < that punctuation is a question mark ....

If you responded to my comment about Windows instead of answering the question because you don't know the answer, then please don't bother to read further.[/quote]

Maybe it would be more helpful if you just asked what you want to achieve instead of starting debates about concepts? I'm sure there would be an easy solution for most of your practical issues (as opposed to theoretical ones) with Pegasus Mail if we only knew about them.
