How did you do that resp. what exactly did you do for saving your email(s)? Without knowing this we hardly can make any suggestions about restoring ...

Check out bpanel.txt in the resource directory for the toolbar.pm file.  Here's a toolbar.pm with a number of quick moves.

I picked the icons out of the icons in the png folder so that they would match the other icons on the toolbars.

No.

Huh?  When the folders are open under the top level menu "Messages" there the a menu Quick copy/move and a sub menu to edit the quick move functions.

> There's a nice menu bar displayed in the help files that looks like what I'm looking for. Is this something that will only appear in v5?

Not at all.

 Hello Phil,

 [quote user="Phil"]

You can also use the pmuser ev (provided that PM and Windows use the same user names).

[/quote]

many thanks for the information.

Is there any place where the use of environment variables for PMail is documented? My search in Help and Manual wasn't successfully.

But at least I found this : -)

Best regards
Wolfgang

Very good idea. To bad this feature is not tie to the Identities.

I could of clone my main Identity with only that difference (frequent check)

Wait a second, it still can be done, I will both clone my ID and the IMAP profiles.

The "OFFLINE" ID will use the IMAP clones with the "Periodically update the INBOX" off.

Flipping ID's is much more user friendly.

Thanks a lot, your recommendation lead to a great workaround.

BTW - Do you think trying to poll IMAP profiles during OFFLINE qualifies as a bug?

[quote user="Christopher Muñoz"]Next time you issue an update, perhaps.   [/quote]

I've now modified the menu so the respective entries are disabled if the dialogs cannot be opened.

[quote user="peggy"]I have used the latest testfiles (V2.4.1.5) you have send to me, but the problem is still there. I had send you a crashdump file. [/quote]

As far as I can tell by now these issues can be solved by doing a proper installation on the removable drive, i.e. make sure to run the current setup for installing all required files in the proper locations of the device (simply select New install instead of Update).

> My new installation says the MAIL folder is located at C:\PMAIL\MAIL\Admin. My system backup has a month old MAIL folder at
> C:\PMAIL\MAIL. I'm running Windows XP. How can I get my old files back, or at least be able to read them?

Here are a few way to do this, I would prefer using option #2.

1.    Use pconfig.exe from the winpm-32.exe directory, probably c:\pmail\programs and change the home and new mail directory from c:\pmail\mail\~8 to c:\pmail\mail.

2.    Move everything from the c:\pmail\mail directory except pmail.usr and pmail.ini to the c:\pmail\mail\admin directory.

3.    Use Folders | Add mailbox to list and point at the c:\pmail\mail directory.

In any case move all of the *.CNM files from the c:\pmail\mail folder before doing anything.  There is probably a zero byte file in there someplace and you have not done the Spamhalter fix. This zero byte file is causing Spamhalter to crash and the OS also takes down Pegasus Mail.  You need to upgrade Spamhalter.

Incredibles results Thomas!

After your suggestion, I had made that you propose.

I had installed the previous version and all was similar (very bad performance).
In that point, I remember that 1 month ago I had changed my switch from 100 Mb to 1 Gb.

The results has been incredible. If I work with the 1 Gb switch, to move one hundred of small messages from a folder to another one take 3 minutes. If I work with the 100 Mb switch, the same test only need 8-10 seconds.

May be a problem with a "delay routine". In my case I will go to downgrade my switch untill I will deploy a new server in the next 2 months.

Thank you very much Michael and Thomas.

[quote user="skyborn"]1. It doesn't know me, and I'm the only one here. It locks me out.[/quote]

Can you please describe what you see? I have no idea what you're talking about ... 

[quote user="skyborn"]When I finally get in, it stops "responding".[/quote]

Once again, what exactly happens when doing what? Did you create any filters, yet? A screenshot might help as well (to add on the Options page of the forum post editor's top).

Edit:

I found it! Somehow, the signature variant was changed to formatted, instead of plain content. I switched it back, and all is well.

Hold it,,,,


I just downloaded w32-461.exe   and ran setup.


What's this I'm reading about the memory stick ?  Running it from that stick on any machine  and getting identical behavior ?


That could really solve a lot of problems really fast.


Where do I read more before I go any further ?

Creating a pdf in a batch with all messages attached is a long wished feature. I would like to test "ABC Amber Pegasus Converter", but unfortunately the author of the software stopped selling and distributing it. I somebody knows a save place to download it, preferable the last version 5.06 let me know.

Note: I don't ask for help to steal the software. If I found it useful I would happily pay the author for his work. (Although after doing some heavy google searching I think this will not be possible).

[quote user="JonR"]If I have IE rendering enabled and start working on let say 3 new emails at the same time I could before under "Window" menu option switch between the Main Folder window and all the three emails I was working on. [/quote]

Well, I though my workaround worked, obviously it didn work at all. I've fixed this now both for IERenderer and BearHtml, I'll announce an update in due course ...

I can now confirm where the problem is.

If the New Mail folder is not active/highlighted when new mail is downloaded, subsequently clicking on the New Mail folder will cause the Autofilter to filter, but not highlight the receiving folders.

If the New Mail folder is active/highlighted, then any new mail received and autofiltered straight away, will highlight the receiving folders.

This has only been a problem since 4.52. With 4.52 autofiltering highlighting would work no matter what folder you had active when new mail was downloaded.

Cheers

OK. Thanks. Evidently google changed something in their format recently, because I just started having problems. I'll try sticking with fancy view for now, though I had no idea how many people write to me using huge red fonts! ;-)

Can you point me to the "-ROAM" option thing ? I mean, a message or thread or FAQ entry or whatever that will explain to me what things I need to know about this.


Thank you
