[quote user="Brian J"]I'm still getting e-mail notifications from this list even though the system shows me as having *unsubscribed* status.[/quote]

Sorry, I did *not* suggest changing the global settings (because you already said before you did) but the thread specific option of the thread(s) you participated in - maybe the system only applies the global settings to new posts, not the ones you're already subscribed to. Did you check these (, e.g., see the screenshot which shows *my* status here, of course, as I didn't contribute to this thread)?

[quote user="Tioga George"]This evening my Pegasus Mail went nuts!  It began with new email downloads failing to delete on my webhost's server.  Everytime I click on the red arrow [Check host for new mail], the same emails download again and again![/quote]

Check Tools => Internet options => Receiving => [current POP3 definition] => Delete mail on server once it has been successfully retrieved.

See for solutions, check the most recent entry first.

Sorry for having bothered you.

For some unknown reason, the copy-to-self feature is now working again after 3 days.

Thank you

[quote user="PaulW"][quote user="Phons van Oploo"]Take a look at:

[/quote]
The two differences between that advice which got it working were:
1. Using port 587 for outbound mail

2. Checking the 'Do not use CRAM-MD5 even if advertised' box

Maybe someone with live.com experience could check if the pegasusmail.nl tip needs updating?

I've changed the settings as showing above and tested and it works fine now.
Thank you PaulW.

Within WinPMail see Help, Commandline options and note new -ms function. The change user menu item of 4.41 was removed in 4.51 and later because it caused problems for some users in some environmnets. The new multiple instances/usernames function replaces the function so no loss - just gains and minor configuration and shortcut(s) edits. Also note newer -roam entry if you do or may use USB portable devices with WinPMail.

Thank you all for your help.

Clicking the POP3 user option provided the instantaneous solution I needed.

I will now go and suggest that this solution/option be added to the help file. It should have been there years ago.

Thanks also for this suggestion"Check out bpanel.txt in Pegasus Mail's Resource directory."

I DID look at this two days ago; but decided that learning another (computer) language for which I would have no further use afterwards would be a waste of my precious time. I'm trying to give up adding interests to my life !

Also, it never crossed my mind that Pegasus would have any use other than with a POP3 system; and I will never work in any other computer environment anyway ( I'm too old).

I really like Pegasus and have never regretted starting to use it ?? 10 years ago.  Brian

[quote user="irelam"]It now includes support for Internet Explorer "Send link by email"[/quote]

And "Send page by email", but you may need to run the very last version of again to get the menu entries enabled.

Just looked in the PDF manual (WinPMailManual-441.pdf) and found something on page 109, Chapter 11, starting the paragraph with the phrse...

"...Recovery of deleted space from folders..."

I (think I) understand what happens with a large number; with 24,000; and with zero.

What I don't really grasp at this time is a small number; e.g., 1,2,3...10 whatever.

I also see in that paragraph....

"...If the folder is very large,.. this process of compression may
become annoying or may take too long...."

Would that giant attachment I tried to send make that folder "very large" enough to cause the very problem I was having ?

If that was the case, then what's causing it now ?

Could I set the value to zero for normal use, then set it to "1" when I'm ready to leave the house for several hours ?

With very few exceptions (this being one of them) Pegasus is extremely good. I would really like to get this under control if possible

Can you please forward me a copy of the message that crashes on you in Fancy mode? Please send it to irelam@telus.net   The version of Bearhtml 4.6.3 should be able to handle all messages except for occasional home made s p a m.

Thank you

[quote user="popper"]What's the best way to completely uninstall PM including all traces in the registry?  That may work.[/quote]

Not necessary, you may install a new version along with a previous one and should be able to move contents after doing so, there are several posts on the forum providing details about moving mailboxes or restoring backups.

To send a word document you will have to attach it to the email.  I regularly send out word documents complete with pictures and don't have any problems.

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.
