I have been trying to set up an email account. I successfully put in

all the information, down load the email, send some mail and then log

off. Next time I start Pegasus, after sigining in (we have several users

using the Pegasus for email, the others have no problem) I am asked to

complete the configuration again! This has happened 4 times in a row

tonight. I cannot figure out why the configuration is disappearing after

I close the program for this one particular user.

 Windows Xp Pegasus mail 4.51

Looks like the pmail.ini file is not getting saved on exit.  Most likely there is either something wrong with this users access to his mailbox directory or PMail is crashing on closing.  Try and close out everything you can and delete the deleted messages folder so that at least these functions are not the problem.

See for links to possible solutions.

When using the import html facility it will only bring in the text. The images will not appear plus there are also a heap of dotted lines around everything.

Hi!

Has anybody found a solution for this? I have (almost) the same problem.

I'm running Pegasus Mail 4.62 on WinXP (but the same happened in previous versions).

The option 'Add this variant of the default signature...' in "Options--> Signature" works fine, but nothing happens when attaching a signature within the message editor. Both in plain text or formatted mails.

Any ideas? Is it a common problem or there is something system-specific?

Thanks, Julian

Gotcha.  Here's the fix:

1. Run pconfig
2. Select Standalone Configuration (assuming that's what you want)
3. Set Home mailbox: c:\users\username\pegasus   *** No slash at the end of the path ***
4. Set New mailbox: c:\users\username\pegasus   *** No slash at the end of the path ***
5. Exit with save.

The path to my mailbox is in my user directory, but the part that was causing me all the grief was that there was a slash at the end of the Home and New mailbox paths.  So,

   c:\users\username\pegasus\

caused the problem.  Changing it to

   c:\users\username\pegasus

solved the problem.  So simple, yet so frustrating.

After much playing around with pconfig.exe finally solved the problem.

Thanks for the helpful posts which I should have explored in more detail before posting  RTFM

 Thanks again

I've reset the folders in Spamhalter and Content Control, lets see what happens. I never touched any of them so I'm not sure as to how they would have chnaged...hmmmmm [:O]

I assume you found the answer to the first question, if not simply click on help in Manage Local Users

To automatically run Pegassus for a specific user, add -I username to the shortcut

(thats a capital i)

AVG V10 can be obtained from: http://free.avg.com/us-en/download-avg-anti-virus-free  Please note that the install time is quite long as yet more features have been packaged with the "free" version.

  Virscan.ini needs to be updated to use this new version of AVG

The Virscan.ini CMDLINE= line should be changed from AVG9 to AVG10 so that the new Cmdline looks like:

; For AVG V10 scanner something like:
CmdLine=c:\progra~1\avg\avg10\Avgscanx.exe /SCAN "!f"

> Thanks for your reply, is this a limitation of pegasus or the IMAP protocol ?

Depends a lot both on the server and the client.  Some servers support more options that others, some clients store a lot more data at the client system.  If you were to cache all of the IMAP4 data via Pegasus Mail then it would be able to search the cache without even being connected to the host.

I my case I find the Squirrelmail gets really slow when the folders get large with most IMAP4 servers, maybe Dovecot is more efficient with server side searching than the UW type IMAP4 servers.

[quote user="Xylvyr"] Since each and every email address has to "behave" like a standalone email when I use the "reply" functions, does that mean that each address will need its own identity? [/quote]

Yes.

[quote user="Xylvyr"] And if so, can all the mail for all the identities still be checked in one sweep? Or just all the mail for one identity at a time?

[/quote]

They can all be checked in one sweep. Have a look at the two options at the bottom of Tools | Internet options | Receiving.

Cheers!

Autofilter is not working on newly created folders as well as the two originally mentioned.

Makes me want to say bad words, right out loud.

Any suggestions?  Is this the only occurrence of this situation?

These may be copies of folders in you current mailbox and if so they will not show up in the folder list.  Try using the following utility.

PMRestArch - Pegasus Mail Restore Mail Folder Archives:
http://www.lexacorp.com.pg

Usage:
PMRestArch SourceDir DestinationDir

Description:
Pegasus Mail cannot display two mail folders with the same internal ID even if they are in separate mailboxes. Mail folders also have to be Read-Write.
      
This causes problems when trying to view mail folders which have been archived by copying them to backup media.

This utility:

1.  Copies all .PMM and .PMI files in the source directory to the destination directory and renames them as BAKxxxxx.PMM
    and BAKxxxx.PMI.

2.  Ensures that the resulting file is Read/Write.

3.  Creates a different internal unique ID for each file.

Once you have run this program to restore archived folders to a directory you can attach that directory using the Pegasus Mail 'Add mailbox to list' option and access the archived folders in this new mailbox.

Thanks Michael. Greatly appreciated.

At least now I know it's not worth pursuing anymore.  I was beginning to think the way to do it was obvious but I was too clueless to find it.

I have problems forwarding some emails I receive.  My Norton Anti-Virus rejects it by giving "Error 500 5.7.1 Your Email is not using the proper character set.  Please correct this (try setting your mail program to use plain text) and resend"  Is this a problem with Pegasus, Norton or my ISP? 

I suspect the problem is that you are using the wrong character set for the characters in the message and your ISP is telling you to fix it.

[quote user="lyndave"]is this telling me i need to sign onto some site on a browser before i send an email?  which site would that be?  how would the site have anything to do with my email transmission from a different app?[/quote]

This is an error message returned from your email or home page provider's SMTP server which almost certainly provides a web interface for email accounts: Try ...

[quote user="edg"]Our Office setup has the Pegasus mail binaries installed in a common shared folder on the network, with individual users having their mail message (and .ini's etc) files in their own private folder elsewhere.

My question is in regards  to installing this control. If I do so, will it automatically replace bearhtml and configure the IE control for all users? Or is there a way to configure it to be enabled on a per user basis?[/quote]

This is partly due to the format of the message store.

A new version of the store is in the pipe-line, and hopefully these sorts of problems will be history.

Would someone let me know to whom to send these.  I have them renamed to .cxx and zipped.  The archive is 8712 bytes.

Send them to either tech-support@pmail.gen.nz or techsupp@tstephenson.com and they'll get to the test group.  FWIW, the filtering on the subject crash with a subject exceeding the SMTP line length limits has already been passed to the test group and David Harris.
