Tried IEControl at home last night.  Am very pleased with the display of some html messages that had required viewing in a browser.  Not sure I'm ready at the office for the administrative overhead of the separate bearhtml.ini file in each users mailbox directory though.  Will be giving more thought to that.

Some more suggestions in .

This dependency is created by the third party reader/editor module TER, but the reason for failing with certain printer drivers only may be another issue ...

Thank You Henkjan,

   That got me where I needed to be.

Yes, indeed,

   As Steffan said:  "If Outlook was more stable"  I'd remain perfectly pacified in that puddle of mediocrity.

Yes, it seems that I'll be much better off here once I figure out most of the tweaks that apply to me.

It's a slow laborious process, but, you guys are making it much more inviting & less intimidating.

Thanks

Thanks[:D]

Thanks for that, I have just reinstalled Pegasus and checked the settings. Pegasus has installed to c:\Pmail and c:\users\clive\appdata\roaming\pegasus mail, which contains imagecache.

I have not pinned to taskbar yet only using the main desktop icon, have not locked/frozen yet maybe original install faulty.

Is that related to the same thing?

I have two different email addresses with attglobal.net and I run

them both through Pegasus.  Could that be part of the problem, that

Pegasus is trying to check the second account before the first one has

actually closed?

The same POP3 account before it was closed.   Not a second account since the error message was an error saying you were trying to make a connection to an open POP3 account.  This other error is saying that the POP3 server did not respond before the timeout elapsed. In this case check the POP3 account setting timeout.  It should be at least 90 seconds when connecting to a internet host.

Move all of the *.CNM files out of the new mail directory and try again.  It should now open normally.  You can then put the messages back one at a time until you find the problem message.  

Also you might need the zero-byte CNM fix.

This zero byte file is causing Spamhalter to crash and the OS also takes down Pegasus Mail.  You need to upgrade Spamhalter.

Hello Steffan,

My apologies, I seem to have missed your reply earlier.

I have clicked your link and it seems to take me to the forum home page.

Ken.

Hello Ken, I don't think you missed anything, because when I posted my reply, I got the message that it needed site administrator approval (on account of the hyperlink I inserted, which is why I sometimes don't bother to insert hyperlinks but just provide the URLs), so my post simply appeared later. Anyway, you're much better off with Mr. Stephenson :-) As for my link, it should've taken you to http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/19535.aspx, but I see that it doesn't. Or rather that it didn't, for I've fixed it now.

Cheers!

Michael,

Thank you for explaining so clearly what's going on!

I'm really interested in trying it out now, but I believe I'll try your suggestion about editing the CNM file. Thanks for that tip, too! (Paranoid? Who, me? [:^)] )

[quote user="Elaine T"]It's not a big problem, but it's a bit of a nuisance.  I've searched this forum and found someone with a similar problem from 2007, and I fiddled with the files suggested in that thread as the source of the problem.  No change.  I uninstalled, wiped my directory, reinstalled... No change.[/quote]

Did you ever check the described in this post? May I ask for crash dumps, again? I may provide you with a debug version of Pegasus Mail once you get the MiniDump extension to work properly.

[quote user="Elaine T"]For anti-virus  & malware protection I'm running Avira Security and MalwareBytes.  I've looked at their configurations and don't see anything obvious that would be causing the problem[/quote]

I'm running Avira as well and never encountered such an issue, but you can only tell for sure after (temporarily) disabling both these applications, I'm afraid ...

"Take a look at this thread http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/21403.aspx

You need dosbox or similar to run these apps on 64-bit Windows."

Well... it worked so far as being able to make rescom function, but my variable sigs are still not showing up in the outgoing messages.  Yes, the converted file resides in the proper location and the signature has ~! where the variation needs to be.

Any suggestions?

Steffan, I don't think I understand this issue, I just can't imagine what's going on, I'm sorry ...

[quote user="Steffan"]

Seems to me like you hit Shift+Ctrl+7. Anyway, go to Folders | Grouped views, and click 'None'.

Cheers!

[/quote]

you are right steffan i might have accidently pressed the shift key with ctrl+ F7

any ways thankyou verymuch everything is back to normal after pressing "Shift + Ctrl + 0"

Thanks once again for your guidance

What kind of encoding? Can you post a sample? What does the raw view show?

Hi

Thanks for the suggestion. But (there's always a but) i'd already had a look at mbx2eml and even assuming it works OK, and it looks like it should, I still have the problem that, if I'm reading it right all the subdirectories have to be dealt with seperately. We have (at worst case) a 4 level directory structure in our local email folder and having to deal with layers individualy is a bit of a monster. I'd hoped that because pegasus can deal with mbx files there would be a way to migrate the whole structure (I can't be the only one who does a lot of emailing and need to have a filling system), but looks like I'm out of luck. Thanks agian for the suggestion.

Thanks, Thomas.

I've used DosBox in the past to run old games like Commander Keen and Duke Nukem ;) so I'll install it. 

There is no function like this, but just use Google translation from http://www.google.ca/language_tools?hl=en
