[quote user="PaulW"]Do you have any 'Local address' signatures set up?[/quote]

Thank you for answering! But can you tell me a little more, for instance where I could have setup such?[/quote]

Same place as setting up the external (internet) variant signatures - Tools / Options / Signatures / Edit signatures, then choose the set and the type you want.

[quote]BTW: Where do I setup the handling of the automatic Confirmation(-of receiving/reading)-replies?[/quote]

Reading confirmation is at Tools / Options / Advanced settings, then check the box 'Accept requests to confirm reading'.

Delivery confirmation is usually done by the mail server and not the client like Pegasus.

[quote user="BennBoulton"] Yes my IMAP inbox is updating automatically.  Also I find it interesting that the "filters" are run when a "folder" is open or closed,  I see no filter or rule that is based on "message arrival"[/quote]

There is none.  IMAP doesn't automatically tell the client about message arrival (although sometimes there is IMAP IDLE or push technology which almost does the same thing).

[quote]I also find it interesting the the "filter action" will trigger every time I open the folder (or PMail) until I read the message, or mark the message as read.[/quote]

That doesn't happen with IMAP filters for me - they operate regardless of 'read' state.

[quote]I think that if that the filtering options need to have an "on arrival"  actions (that work in both POP and IMAP).[/quote]

You effectively have that with POP messages going into your local new mail folder (subject to your re-scan setting).

Well, the answer did solve my problem, and thanks.  But before I changed the setting, PM was not supplying the addresses, just sending the emails out with the aliases.

Hello dnjdad,

Or try this to import your Outlook mail:

Looks like you need to adjust the command line to make it run properly.  This is not unique to Ubuntu 10.10 though.

My command line to run PMail is env WINEPREFIX="/home/thomas/.wine" wine C:\\pmail461\\Programs\\WINPM-32.EXE -A -MS

The -A says to not look for Netware the -MS allows me to run many instances of PMail.

 PS  The pmail.usr file is located at c:\pmail461\mail and the single user mailbox is at c:\pmail\mail\admin.

Quick followup -

 Jerry - you nailed it. Everything's working quite nicely now. Thanks a million.

 I did download and install 4.51. Painless. 

OK - many thanks.

Had the same problem...most advice revolved around setting the 'default setting for search results folder is "delete on exit'" to be on. Good advice as far as it went but it was not working.

Found a post elsewhere that noted if Pegasus has crashed out or had some kind of abnormal ending, then even with the setting right, the search results would not (and would never be) deleted.

Cure is to locate files having the  name format LNKxxxxx.PNL   i.e. beginning with the letters LNK and having a PNL extension, then delete them. That deletes the link folder entries, but not the messages themselves.

These files  are in your pmail\mail\<<username>> directory.    Not literally <<username>>  of course...the directory will depend on how you have set up pmail.

Once any locked or orphaned pnl files are gone, normal behaviour is reestablished according to the settings in  the tools...options...incoming mail folder behaviours panel.

Wish I could claim credit for this fix, but it is all the work of someone else whose name and web location I have forgotten in my rush to try out his brilliant solution on my machine.

I would venture though the easiest way to  delete them might be to do a windows search for LNK*.PNL and delete them wherever windows finds them. I doubt that particular filespec would ever be used by anything other than Pegasus.

[quote user="Andros"] So, where should I go to play with this????  Thanks for any help.[/quote]

This option hasn't been implemented yet, I just made another suggestion to David Harris for solving it, but no reply so far ...

> What do I have to do to Pegasus so Pegasus itself  will once more send my e-mails to my provider as before?

Use Tools | Internet options | (Sending) SMTP and select either of the following options to bypass Mercury.

Use in preference to LAN mailer for Internet mail  This option is only meaningful when you are running Pegasus Mail with a Mercury or User Defined Gateway (UDG) queue. Checking this control tells Pegasus Mail to use its own built-in mail delivery routines instead of passing your outgoing mail to the queue for processing. If you leave this box unchecked, then Pegasus Mail will always use the Mercury/UDG queue in preference to its own SMTP delivery routines. The setting of this control is ignored when you run Pegasus Mail where there is no Mercury or UDG queue.

Use for all outgoing mail, regardless of address:  Usually when you enter an address such as "DAVID", which has no domain portion, Pegasus Mail regards it as a local address and attempts to deliver it to the user based on the assumption that he can be found on the machine you are using. If you are the only person who uses your computer, however, then there will be no other users on your system and this assumption will not be valid. Checking this control tells Pegasus Mail to pass all mail to the remote host for processing and not to presume that any addresses are local to your machine. You should only check this control if you are the only person who uses your machine.

Hi,

This has solved my problem as well, thanks for that.

My problem was the same, but more of a pain.

My work laptop has a secondary monitor at work with a larger screen than the laptop screen. When I ran PMail (I use this for my personal emails) on the larger screen, I pulled the preview bar down so that there were only a few lines of preview showing. For some reason it "stuck" there, so that, even after dragging the bar up, when PMail started, the bar was always near the bottom. This was a minor annoyance on the bigger monitor, but when I was at home or travelling without the larger screen, the preview bar was below the bottom of the window, I could not make it large enough to grab the bar and drag it up. So, without an larger extension monitor, preview was effectively permanently off.

Many thanks,[Y]

Garry.

[quote user="Elaine T"]If I want to undelete messages, is it possible?  My settings are to scrub the delete folder when I close Pmail.[/quote]

It depends on where the message was stored: If in the new mail folder you could try a , but doing so after having continued to work on your computer makes it rather unlikely you'd be able to restore the deleted CNM-file as each file write operation after deletion raises the chance of overwriting the deleted file's data. If it was stored in a folder which hasn't been compressed after deletion you may try to reindex the folder which will bring back any deleted messages not yet "compressed" and probably reset flags on other messages.

[quote user="rpk2006"]Oh sorry I erased the error description. It displays: "Connection Time Out", even when it internet is ON and it has successfully downloaded the few. In the error window, after scrolling down it displays: "Socket Timed Out".[/quote]

Increase the Timeout on Tools => Internet options => General and on the POP3/SMTP definitions for the respective connection.

[quote user="rpk2006"]That said, I tried "Selective Mail Download" from the Files menu, but it also crashed after 44 mail headers.[/quote]

You didn't say it crashed in your first post, just that an error occured? And, BTW, that's one of the issues that selective download is for: If any single message causes Pegasus Mail to fail you can download only a couple of them manually to figure out which one causes trouble without Pegasus Mail reloading the same messages over and over again.

And an addition with regard to filtering: You may apply each filter manually to any folder via Tools => Mail filtering rules => Apply general rule set to folder after doing selective downloads.

And if you really encounter a crash: Please consider using my for providing debugging details for David Harris.

Any ideas would be appreciated.[/quote]

Thanks very much for your response. Coincidentially, I had found this post via a search and had just finished following it when I checked back here and found your message. It took care of my glitch quite nicely.

Hi Michael

Thanks for your response before Christmas.  I did what you suggested, found the HIERARCH.PM file, found a whole load of entries that were no longer required or simply wrong.  While I was doing that, I had our IT helpdesk notified about the issue.  Either through following your advice or by their efforts in the meantime (I prefer to think the former), when I came to launch Pegasus once more, everything was OK and I don't think I have lost any data at all.  Sincere thanks for great help and advice.

Have a great 2011 !

Best wishes

> I want Pegasus Mail to start on system tray every time Windows starts. I am using Windows 7.

1.  Modify the shortcut to open minimized.

2.  Put the shortcut in the startup folder.

3.  Use Tools | Options |  Reporting/Logging | Hide the Pegasus Mail taskbar entry when minimized 

When this control is checked, the regular Pegasus Mail button on the Windows taskbar will be hidden when the program is minimized, leaving only the system tray icon to indicate that it is running. Enabling this option saves space on the task bar, but means that you cannot use Alt+Tab to switch back to Pegasus Mail - you can only switch back by double-clicking the system tray icon.  In addition clicking to the tray icon first brings it back to the taskbar and the second click brings it into the foreground.

that looks to have done it. Pegasus usually very reliable but this one had me scratching my head.

Moin Michael,

Thanks for the clarification.
