[quote user="Spencer7"]Whenever I move a new email into an autofiltering folder it causes an error and I get a message that says that the error is in buf2. [...] I need to stop the error so that Pegasus will stop turning off autofiltering for my folders.[/quote]

This requires David Harris to recompile Pegasus Mail but before asking him you might try whether my can help: It might prevent these crashes from happening when either clicking "Ignore" or "Retry" - the latter will create a bug report (we don't need multiple ones, of course), for details read MiniDump's ReadMe file.

[quote user="Greenman"]Just wanted to say that the way HTML messages are now displayed in Pegasus is much better than it used to be. Everything now looks so much better. It makes a huge difference.[/quote]

Thanks for feedback, especially since we just had a very pronounced opposite opinion in ...

[quote user="Greenman"]I don't want to 'test' this as I don't want to break anything. I don't want to risk importing a registry key and something unexpected happening - for example, I don't know if there are other registry entries that Pegasus Mail writes/references to support the generation of the alerts. Some programs hang when entries are missing.[/quote]

Rest assured that HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Pegasus Mail is the only place Pegasus Mail writes its values to, and these are not required for Pegasus Mail to run properly: In fact it recreates them whenever it's relaunched or changes any of them (like the global identity or the user name - in previous versions). They are mainly used for installation purposes and extensions which cannot access any of these data via the internal interface (BearHtml being one of these to date, but this is about to change since David Harris just extended the renderer interface for providing this information: It affects caching of remote image files. IERenderer works around this limitation thanks to my long-standing experiences with doing so in my encryption extensions). Pegasus Mail still keeps its settings in INI-files despite of Microsoft's long-standing recommendations ...

Doesn't your website administration software (PHP?) provide such a service (I'm not into such things, just wondering whether it wouldn't be easier this way)?

[quote user="denniss"]X-MailScanner-SpamCheck: LEVEL= *************************

I believe this is a spam flag set by my ISP mail server. I used this as an expression filter rule in my POP3 filter set. Things seem to have simmered down for the past few hours at least. Sometimes I feel like I'm trying to hit a very fast moving target![/quote]

It would probably be a good idea to verify who is adding the spam level header based on what criteria and what the "cut-off level" (at which to delete messages with a neglectable chance of getting false positives) should be.

[quote user="Karen A Hill"]I am trying out Pegasus and use Win 7.  I configured it to send and receive messages using pop-server and smtp-server connections, etc.  I get an error message saying that there was a 15: peer connect failure and that the host has refused connection.  What gives?  Many thanks. [/quote]

I have no idea regarding this issue, but if you've got IE 9 already installed please make sure to update IERenderer, for reference see . What's your provider? Did you enable the proper authentication or security settings?

I think Mozilla Thunderbird does what you're trying to accomplish. In fact, that was precisely a feature that I didn't quite like when I tried out the program. If I reply to all, I don't want my email client to 'demote' addresses from the To: line to the Cc: line. Apparently, you don't agree, which is fair enough :-)

Cheers!

Just to throw my two cents worth in here...

 I found the

copying of the root \mail folder or individual mailbox folders to be a

tried and true method of moving configurations and mail between machines

or just locations on a hard drive.  At least until the release of

v4.61.  I don't blame v4.61 as I suspect an in place upgrade would have

worked fine but problems came up on two occasions when doing a clean

install of v4.61 then trying to use existing mailboxes.  The one thing

both problem installs had in common is that the existing Pegasus Mail

installation had been around for many years so had gone through many

upgrades, ISP changes, numerous identities, etc.  I assume that the long

history resulted in residual stuff left behind that v4.61 didn't like. 

In both instances I ended up deleting the existing pmail.ini and state.pmj files from

each mailbox folder then reconfiguring Pegasus Mail for each pmail

users.  I saved a copy of the files for backup purposes

and used the old pmail.ini file for reference during the reconfiguration.

 Let me make two things clear.  First, I am not advocating

not upgrading to v4.61.  It has been great since I worked out the kinks

(although keeping up with the HTML renderer updates has been a bit of a

challenge).  Second, I recommend the method of copying the

\mail folder from old to new.  It's not fail safe however so be aware of that, especially if you have a long history with Pegasus Mail

and the old to new includes upgrading to v4.61.  It's also easy enough to

undo which makes it worth a try.

One other note:  If you use a CD to transfer the \mail folder make sure the files are not flagged read only after copying them off of the CD.

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.

[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.
