Incoming mail works.  The solution was to think outside the box regarding the error message telling me "bad address".  There were 2 empty lines above the correct incoming mail address, which I highlighted to download mail.  Once these were deleted, I was able to both download and open mail in any folder.

Outgoing mail works.  I can't determine why it works as I changed none of the settings that Verizon gave me s weeks ago.

Being that WL is such a mess and not working properly no matter what I do, I've decided to go with Pegasus. I've searched on bringing a csv file over for my address book, but it doesn't seem to work.  Also is there a way to import emails from Windows Live Mail 2011?

Thanks,

Tom

[quote user="CraigSpencer"]Looking over file list I found CACHE.PM which may explain the behavior I observed. It seems that the folders are loaded without inspection if the existing folders match the list maintained here. But if a folder has been deleted or a new one is found then an initial check will be made of all folders.[/quote]

I have no idea how the cache actually works, you may be right here.

[quote user="GordonM"]The standard for the zone (do the parentheses here mean optional?) says:

zone            =       (( "+" / "-" ) 4DIGIT) / obs-zone

It seems to me that the part of the Date: header in parentheses, besides being wrong, is unnecessary.[/quote]

The paratheses don't mean optional - the slash means OR. The timezone consists of "a plus OR minus and four digits in format hhmm representing difference to GMT" OR "the old fashioned and since early 1990s OBSOLETE abbreviations for timezones (like GMT, EDT)".

[quote]What I don't understand is how "Date: Tue, 01 Feb 2011 22:09:23 +0000 (GMT+00:00)" could end up as being interpreted as "31/01/2011 7:00 PM EDT.  Still, if the date is not consistent with the standard, I suppose anything could happen, though it seems to be consistently wrong from three differerent mail clients.[/quote]

You have to ask the programmer of the code for analysing the date-header in all his misspelled permutations. David's code seems to handle many permutations ... but obviously not all. I know the code will ignore something like "+0000 GMT" and show correct time.

Do they open if you click on the 3rd button - Save and edit ?

<later> I've tried renaming a pdf to the name you mention but can't see any difference in behaviour.

Hello Osprey and Michael,

Sorry not to get back to you sooner.  In a busy law firm, I just don't have time to fiddle with software, and that's why I especially appreciate the help I've received from you and others who participate in user forums.

With regard to this thread, my original problem of multiple downloads has been solved, and by changing the settings I have been able to keep the "POP3 Network or Protocol Error" from reappearing except at lengthy intervals. So I consider the problem solved.

Many thanks for your willingness to help.  I'm sure I'll need help again, and I'm glad there are people smarter than I who stand ready to offer assistance!

Roland

[quote user="jstmcm"]Thanks very much for your reply.   I don't know how to get a total size of all the PMM files, there are 42 of them - too many to add up their individual sizes.  I may well have gone over the 2gb limit as I rarely find time to go through and delete emails that I no longer need, so I know some of the folders are very large.[/quote]

No need to sum up file sizes, the 2 GB limit applies to single files.

after many AND many proofs wich they do no result, NOW all work fine (message to not existant address was successfully sent but after a low seconds i receive a failure report by mta!

mahh! i don't understand!

 I think in effect there are 2 problems:

1) many isp disable non-delivery reports for spam problems.

2) this service is not very reliable

However many thank all people

In Pegasus Mail go to Help menu, commandline options which includes

Run control options
-A (no parameter)
Forces Pegasus Mail to run in standalone mode, ignoring any NetWare connection.
-ROAM  This option tells Pegasus Mail that it should ignore the configured drive letter when locating user mailboxes and mail files, and should instead use the drive letter of the drive from which WINPM-32.EXE was run. If Pegasus Mail and your mailbox directories are located on the same physical drive, you should always use this option. -ROAM greatly simplifies running the program on Peer-to-Peer and non-NetWare networks, because it allows the same copy of the program tobe run no matter what drive letter mappings exist on the particular workstation where it runs. This switch also allows you to install a complete, working copy of Pegasus Mail, complete with mailboxes, onto a memory stick, and to use that memory stick in any computer where it is subsequently plugged. You must not use this switch if Pegasus Mail and your mailbox directories cannot be accessed using the same drive letter. This switch is ignored and has no effect in either Novell NetWare operating mode.

and much more information.

Without some idea of exactly what Exchange is doing that's causing the problems, I can't even offer a diagnosis. I don't have access to an Exchange 2010 server, either, so there's no way I can look into this myself.

Pegasus Mail's IMAP support is fairly basic - it doesn't do anything very complicated, so it's hard to imagine what Exchange could be doing that could cause so many issues... That said, IMAP is incredibly dense, and there's bound to be plenty of things I've never anticipated.

If someone can get session logs showing the command/response sequences leading to problems like this, I'd be happy to look into it, but without pretty clear illustrations of what's going on, there's absolutely nothing I can do.

Cheers!

[quote user="vccramesh"]I move my old messages to a Folder.  At the end it advised to

re-index.  But after re-indexing, the folder is missing.[/quote]

Did you get an error message when or after reindexing? If not you might try my suggestion from . Depending on the Pegasus Mail version you're using you might also try the mbxmaint_ui.exe tool from Pegasus Mail's program directory (it only exists in recent versions).

Michael. Many thanks for your reply. Ironically, the problem seems to have corrected itself. However, I will implement your suggestions if it re-occurs.

Eric.

There's also a settting that alows me to turn off the certification but leave the scan, which I have done (for now). I don't know how Pegasus processes the headers, or whether there's an opportunity to provide for things like this. At least the problem is identified, and options are pretty easy.
