Hi Michael,

I don't use preveiw mode, all my windows display in the stand-alone format.  All my prior explanations relate to that mode.

I have a problem that do not rise to the status of "issues".  I'm sorry you can't visualize what's happenning.  Of course I'll continue trying to work around this problem and in time I'll resolve it.  It's unusual however that there have been no other similar requests as mine are on record.  The possibility of the software being corrupted is not very likely simply because the same problem existed with the same email correspondence on my prior computer running a different operating system.

Thank you very much for your help trying to resolve this one.  I don't feel quite so bad now knowing an experienced user is scratching his head as well!

best regards - ragsman

The POP3 protocol says that when a message download fails that the mailbox is to be restored to the condition at the start of the POP3 session.  This includes the requirement that the server remove all tags for deletion as well.  There is something wrong with the server if the mail is getting deleted when there is an error in the download. Talk to the people running the POP3 server.  You might want to show them a session log of the failed POP3 download as well.

To add to this...I run into this quite a bit with admin's who have no idea what they are doing or how to configure their systems, but they can quote gibberish really good.  Good enough to fool their bosses into thinking they know what they are doing.... A good admin can tell you EXACTLY why a message is being blocked or sent to some kind of spam folder and can fix the problem if wrong.

What you outlined is exactly the solution to the problem...ie upgrade IERenderer making sure to accept the default location so that the files from the unzipped exe file go to C:\PMAIL.  Thank you very much for your help!

Are you sure?  Did you check the settings of "Enable PMTUDiscovery" in registry?  If it's old value is 0 then it turned off.  The easiest way to do this is to hit the custom button, hit apply and look at the "Old value" setting.

Check DisableTaskOffload the same way as above or use regedit.

Not sure why since there are almost no changes in this area between the 2 versions.  I really suspect that something has changed in the path between Pegasus Mail and the server.

Go to File | Network configuration | General and turn on "Create Internet session logs (advanced diagnostic use only)"  

Checking this control tells Pegasus Mail to create special log files that show the entire exchange of information between it and the servers it connects to. Each session will be created in a file called TCPxxxx.WPM in your home mailbox directory (the "xxxx" is replaced by four digits). Creating session logs will slow down the performance of your system somewhat, and you should be aware that any username and password information exchanged between Pegasus Mail and the server will be shown in the log, *even* if you use SSL to secure the connection. Session logs are primarily useful if you need to debug a problem between Pegasus Mail and one of the servers it connects to - you should enable the option only on instructions from a system administrator or from Pegasus Mail technical support. [ Technical note: this control has the same effect as using a "-Z 32" commandline switch when you run Pegasus Mail ]

You can now try again to send/receive the mail and then look at the resulting TCP/IP debug file.  Review of this file will tell you exactly what is going on between WinPMail and the server. You can send me a copy of the session log to for analysis if you wish.

As we're on the Internet I assumed you knew what hyperlinks are good for? There is one in my previous post (the "" part) pointing you to lots of posts about your issue, everything below my name is only part of my signature ...

Importing ICS calendar entries is non-trivial.  Several people have tried to do just the display bit, and this can be achieved (sorry I don't have any examples to point to). But the real part of this application type is the updating and replying as well as sync'ing with other peoples/group calendars.

That did it, thanks!

There are a number of software tools available on the Internet to export Eudora messages with their attachments. Check on Google with a search argument like "Eudora export attachments" to see a list of products.  I cannot vouch for any of these, so backup your system or mail folders first.

Martin

OK, Thanks

My bad. It was a permissions issue - which is what I thought I checked into first. I looked at STATE.PMJ and MAIN.PNM. It turns out that I could read and write some files in my Pmail directory but not all of them. Thanks for your assistance.

Thank you very much.

Thanks, that worked for him

I've wondered about these for some time:

 - how do I prevent urgent messages from be listed at the top in the new mail folder when newer messages (not flagged as urgent) are downloaded?

- in a folder of a certain identity that has both incoming and outgoing mail, how do I sort all "to:" instead of

 to: A..

A..

A..

to: B...

B...

 Thanks.

Thanks, obviously nothing vague about it. For some reason I couldn't find it. All fixed!

Not really sure what you are describing but open the folder and check the option "Apply timezone correction"

It cannot be changed to 12 hour format since it is just displaying what is in the message.

Look at using a distribution list.  Copy the email addresses from Excel to a text file with the PML file extension and save it to your home mail directory.  Then hit the Addresses | Distribution lists  and edit the dist. list to add the options you want. The To field is generally used by most people to suppress the email addresses.

 Distribution list options

There are several ways you can control and customize the operation of your distribution lists. To alter these options, press <F6> to open the distirbution list manager if it is not already open, then select the list you want to work with on the left, and click the Settings button.

To field (suppressing the list of recipients): Entering an address in this field will force Pegasus Mail to suppress the listing of all the recipients' addresseses in the To: field when you use the list. Instead of showing every member of the list, the To: field will contain only what you enter here. Because of the way Internet mail works, you cannot simply enter any piece of text in this field -- you must enter something which can be legally processed as if it were an address. We recommend that you use the following format to create the contents of this field:

    "(descriptive text)" <(your own address)>

Replace (descriptive text) with a meaningful name for the mailing list, and put your own address where it says (your own address). Recipients will almost always see the descriptive text instead of your address so it will not seem as strange as it sounds. The quote characters around (descriptive text) and the angle bracket characters around (your own address) are vitally important and must be included exactly as shown. It is not possible to suppress the recipient list for MHS mail and this field will be ignored for MHS messages.

Reply to: If you want to direct replies to list mailings to a particular address, enter it here. A reply-to field you set in the list will override any in the message.

Request confirmation of reading, Request confirmation of delivery, Mark message as urgent, Signature set: These controls duplicate the same features in the message editor. If you set them for the distribution list they will override the values you use when you compose the message.

Ensuring future readability by converting plain text to a closed proprietary format doesn't make much sense to me.
