Michael,

I downloaded and installed the current release of IERenderer, and it works!  The problem is no longer and issue.  Thank you again.

I know this thread is a bit old. But I thought I'd post an update on my progress with this issue. I never solved it and never succeeded in using the 'new and improved' email system that Sympatico implemented. I used my hosting company's relay mail SMTP service for about a month and then discovered that Sympatico's old mail system was again working. They either reimplemented it due to a flood of complaining customers, or perhaps it was simply broken and they fixed it.

At some point I'll call their tech support and ask to be walked through the process. But I fear it will be a painful and frustrating experience and not something I look forward to. If ever I do come up with the magic formula I'll be sure to post it here. For now the old way works again and if it ain't broke ...

Russell :-)

 

I am aware from your original post that you prefer to use only one identity, however have you fully considered the benefits of creating an identity for each of your email accounts.

That way you can tie an account (address) to a folder and automatically use that address when replying to mail from that folder.

Cheers,

You should have this control box checked, and the one below it 'Use strict local relaying restrictions' as well.  Otherwise you are likely to become an open relay and used by spam senders anywhere.  Read the help to understand why.

If that causes a problem with using the server for your outgoing mail, you may have to allow relaying from your internal address block.

 

Some incoming emails have line spaces equal to two lines (double height) between paragraphs, i.e., a line height of 1.5 or 2 times the font size.   This makes some messages mostly white space.  Is there a way to adjust line height, and if not, could it please go on the suggestions list.

Not experiencing this problem with Pmail v4.61, XP(SP3), Adobe Reader X and nothing set for .pdf viewing.

How did you launch WSSETUP? Did you launch it via network connection on the client machine or after copying it to the client? The latter won't probably work as setting Pegasus Mail as default mailer on recent Windows versions requires SetPMDefault to be launched which will only happen if it can be located by WSSETUP. Although you could copy it to the client machine along with WSSETUP this won't probably satisfy all the requirements of setting a default application either, so it is recommened to launch WSSETUP via network to work as designed, not using a local copy. I don't know for sure, though ...

You could use the classic MDI mode which just lists the folders, double-click on a folder then the message list displays.

or

You could drag the dividing bar between the message and preview all the way to the bottom. Now you get the display you like, double click on a message and you can read.

IMHO - the classic MDI mode is the best. YMMV

Thank you.

> BTW, on Linux I run both Pegasus Mail and Mercury and other Windows programs over Wine, works pretty well for me.

"The only thing that does not work in Mercury/32 with Wine is the SSL/TLS and you can use STunnel for Linux to allow the MercuryC SMTP client to connect to a relay host and have the MercuryS, MercuryP and MercuryI servers support SSL connections."


Anyway, I've moved on from PMAIL and MERCURY to Thunderbird and Xeams. Thunderbird is really great. I recommend you try it if you haven't already. Xeams okish - closed source >:(

Enjoy.

This was not a new install.  About a week ago I installed 4.61 over the old version.  The software is located at c:\comm\pmail.  It has been working fine until this problem.  It is used as a standalone and a single user. The upgrade was completed successfully with no problems.  It did offer to view the What's New.  I can see the c:\comm\pmail folder but there is no c:\comm\pmail\programs folder.   There is a c:\comm\pmail\png folder.  The problem started just after I changed the display to cascaded view and then closed Pmail.

 I have resoled my problem and thank  you both very much. It took some doing but finally removed those folders.

I will however have to adjust the organization of the trays to where I want them BUT bottom line it IS accomplished

Thanks again

I just had this annoying problem, and in my case I solved it by going into Explorer, then to the PMAIL folder, then to MAIL, then to the folder I was last using, then ordering all the emails by date, and, sure enough, I found the most recent email sent was listed as being 65,000kb in size.   I simply deleted it and then tried loading Pegasus, and now it has been able to open the new mail folder (without that humongous file there).

So it seems that when Pegasus hangs on "opening new folder", the reason why it hangs is because there's something in that new mail folder that it just can't handle.  So just go to the folder, find the most recent file and that file is most likely to be the culprit, particularly if it's enormous in size.

 

 

[quote user="Paladin"] When I open an email or start a new one the text 'separates' (like a tab instead of a space).  This started this am... no idew why.  I didn't change anything since last night.[/quote]

Could be related to a printer (driver) change either in Pegasus Mail or of the Windows default printer, try using different ones for testing, Generic / Text Only is always a suitable one for such purposes.

[quote user="tomdriver"]Pegasus began crashing occasionally, so I upgraded to 4.61.  The result was more crashes than ever.[/quote]

for dealing with crashes: Upgrading to version 4.62 should already have solved most of your issues; and yes, you can install it on top of 4.61 even if using a different language than English.

[quote user="VER"]I wouldn't mind to have the switch the other way around (so use ctrl+shift+p for plain text), or the option "always print html" or something. [/quote]

You can be sure other (many) users would mind, so it's not an option to change Pegasus Mail' default behaviour for plain text. I've now added an option which allows you to set IERenderer as the default printing handler for HTML messages without modifying the default for plain text messages, I could provide a test version for you.

[quote user="idw"]Would selecting UTF-8 as your default charset on Tools => Options => Advanced settings help?[/quote]

[quote user="VER"]No that did not help, I changed the setting, and also tried after restarting Pegasus.[/quote]

It appeared to work here with plain text messages at least, can you forward one of your "problem" messages to me (IERenderer's About dialog provides a contact link)?

[quote user="irelam"]For the Charset to be used, I would suggest EUC-KR instead.[/quote]

[quote user="VER"]I cannot find this one in the options?[/quote]

Just type it in, Pegasus Mail can handle a lot more charsets than listed, for a (still incomplete) overview see the .

[quote user="Jan Meeuwissen"]I just tried to forward the problematic message and encountered the same problem. Sorry, it can't be tested.[/quote]

Move it to you new mail folder, right click the message to select Message properties, note the filename shown in the respective field at the top, then close the dialog and go to the Help => About Pegasus Mail => Info screen to figure out the new mailbox location which is where you can locate the file via Windows Explorer to zip it up and send as an attachment.

BTW: "Bouncing" would probably work as well, but then we're very likely to delete it right away as a possible spam message, I'm afraid ... Does forward as attachment work?

I ask because of an interview I saw with Bill Gates last night on

C-Span.  He mentions such a feature on Windows, I assume on Outlook or

Outlook Express.

It might be something that can be used via Outlook and Exchange but even when using Outlook you can save the message as a text file and submit it manually to the Exchange server.  There is nothing in the e-mail RFC's that will stop a knowledgeable person from forwarding a message no matter what Bill gates says about Windows.  ;-)  FWIW, Bill may know Windows but he proves over and over he knows very little about E-mail and the Internet.  ;-)

Update -

If I create the user variable as "pmuser=Admin" instead of system variable "pmuser=%username%", it's working fine for me.

I don't have to create a new user.

The drawback is that I have to create individual user variables instead of one single system variable.

Thanks & Regards,

Rad.

 

[quote user="pgsmick"]Using this setup, if I use the -ROAM switch on the command line at a workstation (or even on the server), and launch winpm32.exe from the mapped drive (P:\Programs) Pegasus displays the splash screen and goes no further and gives no error message.  Without the -ROAM switch, the workstation (or server) is able to connect to the user's mailbox without issue.  Is this the way it is supposed to work?  Why does the -ROAM switch cause a problem under this setup?[/quote]

Please check for possible issues.
