[quote user="Auser"]The message in the lower left corner has " Applying Filtering Rules....", and there may not have been any new messages.[/quote]

What about turning off filtering for a try? Does your AV scanner scan the new mail directory (every new mail is stored in a single file as opposed to other folders where all messges are stored in a single file only)? If so try without it.

A year or so ago, I wrote in asking how to make Pegasus' write new

mail screen area stay maximized when I opened it to compose a letter.

No one was able to come up with any fix, nor any reason my version of

Pegasus was doing or not doing this. My older versions had always worked

like that so I was puzzled.

 I seem to remember some numbers in a

portion of the, I believe, "PMAIL.INI" portion of the Pegasus file.

Setting the proper numbers was difficult and didn't really work, anyway.

It had to be done manually and I was advised not to worry about it

because it was tough to hit the proper setting so the screen would stay

maximized when opening Pegasus to write mail (something about a 'hairy edge' or similar). Now they are set to:

Application window rectangle              = -4 -4 1288 776
Editor window default width and depth     = 1280 672

 Well, I don't know

what or if I changed something inadvertently but now when I open Pegasus

to compose mail, the writing area is maximized upon opening and stays

that way every time I've done this for a few weeks now. I would like to

make a copy of the portion of the "PMAIL.INI" file to save in case I

start having sizing trouble again. Right now I have the entire

"PMAIL.INI" file copied and saved. Would it be better

to just save the portion of that file that relates to the write new mail

screen staying at its maximum size and not overwrite the entire file if

I ever need to do it?

Can someone please tell me what I should copy and save for future use? Saving the

entire file? Or if this is even the best way to preserve the settings I

am using right now? Thanks for any info!

Tools -Advanced Settings-Compact Folders.

[/quote]

Ooops, place "Options" between "Tools -Advanced Settings-"

But thanks, I made a few guesses and got it.

Long version is...

Tools -> Options -> Advanced Settings -> Recovery of deleted space from folders -> Compact folders once -> [0] 

The zero value ("0") in  will set it to never. (I hope)

Start with "Imap" in the Pmail help index.

Jerry, my apologies.  I was looking in the Contents list.  I have just found the reference in the Index at the back!

I get .pps files as attachments and configures the content viewer to use OpenOffice simpress to open the file.

I run Pmail 4.52 in wine.

simpress loads, but doesn't find the pps file., which in reality is in the temp directory.

I get a message about it.

The path should be /root/.wine/drive_c/users/root/Temp/<the file>

It looks like Pmail isn't given the correct info to simpress.

Or is there something else?

When I go to the directory and select the wpm$..... file, the pps opens with simpress.

Hi,

I used pegasus mail for more than 10 years with my pop3-account and now I want to get more "mobility" with an IMAP-implemetation. So I have some qustions to the community because I have problems to realizing a little bit more "advances (?") filtiering functions.


On Pegasus startup I would like to do the following:
a) move all read mails (whatever mail application marked the mail as read) from my IMAP inbox into a special folder on the IMAP-server.
b) copy all mails from this special server-folder into a local Pegasus folder (as a backup). All mails should be copied only once. So I have a 1:1 copy of my mails in a local Pegasus folder (easy backup, depends not on Inet-connection, ...)

If this is not possible at the startup time of pegasus - it could be a temp. solution to do this manually. But then both filters should be handles in one rule if possible - I don't like to do many clicks for a routine function.

Is this possible with the acual pegasus imap implemention?  And how?

Regards
  tofu

Checked with my compadre about maybe reviewing the database itself if I send to him.

No different on the raw view check OR antivirius but as mentioned nobody else had virus problems

 

Following is HIS reply back to me

 Sorry. 

The database won't show if you opened a file in the operating
system.  And, considering you processed the second one and it did the same
thing....  Here is the thing.  You forwarded my original email with the
attachments back to me and the txt file itself was corrupted.That indicates that it had to
happen between the internet and your email software. 

It was corrupt before you did anything with it.  It could be something happening with your
software, your anti virus or your provider but has to be before you copied it.

You should have mentioned before that this only happens when replying to a selected portion of text: Now I can duplicate it, but only in this case ...

You're right, sorry, I didn't realize that. I always select a part of the message before replying, in order to remove extra signatures. 

Sorry again,

[quote user="sram"]Hi again. I can see that Pegasus doesn't support Arabic fully. If I want to attach a file, the file itself, and all its directory have to be all in english. If something is in arabic for example, it won't work.[/quote]

How do you do this? Using drag and drop (you can drag a file onto Pegasus Mail or the top part of an editor window, e.g.) or the button which uses the Windows open file dialog? What happens to the filename and its path?

Moved from Beta discussion as suggested:#

[quote user="idw"]

[quote user="rogers"]Will this release also fix the

bugs with empty attachments when forwarding mail and crashing Pegasus

when using a filter to delete attachments from incoming mail?[/quote]

Well,

this thread isn't really the proper place for reporting bugs,

especially since it already mixes up several issues; please start a

separate thread for your issues on the ;

and in case it should have been reported before (which I'm not aware

of): Can you please point us to where these issues have been reported in

detail before so we understand what exactly you're talking about?

Otherwise we certainly won't be able to deal with any such issues, sorry

...

[/quote]

 

Sorry that I've used the wrong place for asking and that those things are new to you:

1. "empty attachments when forwarding mail"

e.g.: http://community.pmail.com/forums/post/18974.aspx

    Steffan:

   

Some time ago, when I had the public beta version of Pmail installed, I

created a new mail filtering rule (applied when opening the new mail

folder) to delete any attachments named 'filename.txt' (containing a

corporate disclaimer). This caused Pegasus to freeze and it still does

(Version 4.51). When I reported it at the time, I received a reply from

David but I no longer have that (I may have reformatted my hard drive

twice since then) and I don't recall what it said exactly. It didn't as

yet provide a solution so much as suggest that I keep a log, possibly

using the mini-dump extension. However, since I receive mail with that

particular attachment on a very regular basis, Pegasus would freeze just

a little too often for me to continue using that mail filtering rule

without banging my head against the wall every time :-) Anyone any ideas

or suggestions as to what I could do to help identify the cause of the

problem?

    Cheers!
    Steffan

I tested it and indeed

the program is hanging when removing an attachment by filterrule. No

solution for you (except deleting the rule....).

I will bring this to the attention of the beta-team.


e.g. http://community.pmail.com/forums/post/21655.aspx

    ivorygate:

    Am I correct in that this bug did not get fixed in the recently released 4.52 version?

   

I just tried it and it still doesn't work, but then again I could be

doing something wrong on my end, so I wanted to double-check.

This

may well have slipped David's mind while working on version 4.52 or he

may have had other priorities, relating to Windows 7, for example. Far

be it from me to speculate about this, though. All I know is that the

rule used to work in previous versions but it became buggy in what I

think was the 4.51 release. I'll re-enable the delete attachment rule

that I had configured as soon as this previously implemented but

currently unimplemented feature gets reimplemented :-)


2. "filter to delete attachments from incoming mail"

e.g.: http://community.pmail.com/forums/post/15411.aspx

e.g.: http://community.pmail.com/forums/post/20608.aspx

    rogers:


   

Kann man den zusätzlichen Anhang irgendwie abstellen, ohne das ich den

jedes Mal vor dem Versand von Hand lösche oder "Forward any attachments

in the message as well" abschalte (dann wird der zus. Anhang nämlich

nicht erstellt)?

Altes Problem, kann nicht geändert werden außer wie von dir beschrieben. <- idw

 

Sorry for disturbing
