First, a little background.


I move emails from each of my clients into a folder for each client. Then I select a group of those emails and print them to a single pdf file.


Recently, only one of the group of selected emails is printed. For example, if I have 5 emails selected, one is printed 5 times.


I uninstalled Pegasus and reinstalled it as an update, but that didn't help.


Any thoughts on what is going on and how to deal with it?

I have successfully implemented using Pegasus v4.80 on W7 for my IMAP gmail account using David's instructions. However I am totally in the dark how to do a similar change for my Office 365 email account (from Namesco) - and it appears time is running out. Can it be done - if so how? I don't want to use gmail for my normal emails - but I don't really want to move them to Thunderbird or Bluemail etc. Pegasus has been my email since 1997.

I received a link in an html formatted email as part of an email verification process for a site.
However, whenever I clicked on it, right mouse clicked to open the link in a browser or right mouse clicked and copied the link target to the clipboard, the link content changed and did not correspond to the plaint text underlying link in the email source.
This was reproducible in Pegasus V4.80 with IERenderer 2.6.5.18 with several emails from that site as well as with the sample code (link) below. I checked the same emails and link with Thunderbird and they worked ok.


During that process the following sample link changed from:


 https://example.com/#/verify-email?userId=3D54dd1&token=3DCfDJ

to


 https://example.com/?userId=3D54dd1&token=3DCfDJ#/verify-email

Could it be a bug in the IERenderer?


Many thanks


Thomas

I've not made any change to Pegasus but suddenly this problem has occurred.


When I click on 'Send all queued mail' it thinks about it for a few seconds 'Preparing mail for sending...' and then the program vanishes from the screen as if I had exited it. The emails are not sent.


WinPMail version: Version 4.80.1028, Jan 16 2022,

Some time back Brian Fluet did reply to my question on the spellchecker issue. It was appreciated but i accidentally deleted his response as I did want to make a reply clarification. A while back I had to drop back to version 4.73 (at least temporally) as I seemed to have a problem with 4.80. At any rate in Brian's reply he mentioned on checking before sending, the checker was just supposed to identify the misspelled words and I had mentioned something about auto checking. Hope I'm making sense but when I use the checker before sending it goes word to word BEFORE I get to the actual word I know I misspelled instead of sensing automatically. He also mentioned I may not have the program set up properly. Could anyone provide a step by step process so i can make sure its set up properly? Also to make sure it just hits only the misspelled words. As always Thank you all for what you do for old dummies like me.

While trying to explain the behavior posted by 0MrSkeezix143 I came across two things that I need some help with.


  1. In the spell checker Settings tab is the option "Commence checking automatically". This setting is not working for me. Spell checking commences automatically regardless of whether this setting is enabled or not. The manual does not contain a reference to "Commence checking automatically" but it does have a reference to "Start check automatically". I can not determine if they are the same. There isn't any reference to the spell checker Settings tab in the manual that I can find. Please give this a look and a test. I hope we don't have another spell checker related bug.

  2. AFAIK, the US English dictionary file is pmdict3us.pmd. Based on that, I tested the spell checker while that file was renamed to pmdict3_pmd.renamed. Surprisingly, the spell checker worked as expected. I eventually figured out that the US English dictionary file in v4.80 (and maybe prior), is en_US.dic and has the associated files en_US.aff and en_us_v5.dict. All of them are in \Pmail\Programs\DICTS.This may not be news to many of you but it was to me so I thought I would pass it on.

A long time user of Pegasus here (since 1999) with never a hiccup before yesterday when I updated to v4.80.


My partner and I are separate users on the same account and since the update hers crashes every time it is opened. Mine works perfectly.


She logs in, tries to read the new mail folder and it instantly shuts down. Logs in again, restores 'preview mode', it crashes again.


Any help would be gratefully received.

Hello folks....sorry to bother I have a question regarding the spellchecker setup. it seems to me years ago the Pegasus spellchecker when asked (before sending) to check spelling, would identify (automatically) only what was mis-spelled. Now, unless its me, when asked to check it will go word to word until you get to the word you "think" you spelled wrong to correct. isn't there a way to automatically correct as you type along OR when checking at the end to only show what was mis-spelled. Sounds crazy but I think it used to do what I mentioned


Thanks in advance

All of the trays are missing. All of my folders are there. This is what happened:


The Deleted Files folder was missing so I moved HIERARCH.PM from a recent backup and the Deleted Files folder reappeared; but, still no trays. So I moved the FOLSTATE.PM in but trays are still missing.


What's next?


Ver 4.80.1028

I've used pmail on my personal computer for about 20 years. A few days ago it seemed like pmail auto- updated itself altho I didn't think that was possible. The inbox font looked different, etc. But I thought everything was working so I didn't worry about it.


Then I found out that distribution list emails I'd sent out had NO info in the From field - no name, no email address. So people thought the email was spam and deleted it without reading it! I tried to open the help interface via the Help menu but the Help stuff didn't appear on the screen.


I saw that the version I had was 4.73 so I went to the website and saw there is a more recent version. Tonight I installed 4.80 update thinking maybe that would solve these problems.


No, it did not. AND I sent a single email (not thru dist list) to one of my own email addresses, and there was no From info in that email, either!! Plus the outgoing emails were using sig text that I stopped using years ago.


I found a post on this forum about fixing the Help screen not showing up after 4.80 install, and that worked. But I still couldn't remember where the heck the info for the From field got entered in pmail.


I finally found the place to enter my name in Tools/Options/Basic Settings. And then found where to put my email address in Internet Mail Options/General. But sheesh! I spent hours trying to figure all this out. Why would an upgrade cause the help screen to be out of range of the monitor, remove my name and email address from From field settings, and use an old sig, but otherwise seem to function OK? (I sure hope everything else is OK.) POP and SMTP, mail folders and emails - all that was untouched.


FYI for your diagnostic purposes:
Windows 10 21H1
Windows Security has all features turned off because I installed the basic version of Bit Defender about a week ago. I did not notice any problems from that.


I really don't want to switch to any other email program, but it's very troubling to me that this seemed to happen without me changing anything while 4.73 was running.

Deleting even a single message from the Main folder triggers an error message that "Pegasus has encountered a consistency problem in the folder whose details are shown above", (this being the Main folder, FOL067AB.pmm). I am able to recover consistently by re-indexing the folder, but the file I deleted reappears. What am I doing wrong? (And, be warned, I am an old man with a scant understanding of computers...)

In pmail on my laptop my new mail folder with 93 read messages suddenly was empty, no idea why.


I was working with pmail but also doing other work. So I closed the laptop, did something else for 30 minutes, opened the laptop again, got back in, and when opening my new mail folder, there is only ONE new unread message. Al the already read


In my settings, read mail can stay in "new mail" folder, deleted mail stays in bin until pmail closes, deleted mail can stay between sessions, and always ask before deleting are always checked. I have a main mail folder, but messages never go in there with these setting.


Anybody any idea?


For me to actively delete all the new mail I must have selected all mail in the new mail folder, delete them, confirm that I want to delete it, and then confirm I really want to delete all messages in the bin. Sure did not do that, so what happened?

I've been a Pmail user since the 90's, and this is the first time I've had to resort to this forum. The other day I downloaded v4.80, and it got hung up in the window that wants to tell you about new features. The only way I could find to clear the window was to restart my system. So I decided to go back to v4.73. I backed up the MAIL folder, uninstalled PMAIL, (all three iterations) and reinstalled v4.73. It starts up, but when I restored the backed-up MAIL folder it no longer starts. It gets to "restoring page layout", puts an icon in the tray and then hangs. Any Ideas?

I have an email in my New Mail folder that is generating a box with "CreateOneFont(b), Error creating font" and an OK button. Clicking on the button crashes Pegasus.


I went into the mail folder for that userid and deleted all .CMN files with the date tag associated with that email, to no avail. I can't seem to find an online solution.


I confess to being less than current with Pegasus as I'm still using 4.12a. I like it as it does all I want it to and later versions made changes I'd rather not address (ie. multiple user accounts).


I am on Windows 10 Pro, Version 21H1.
