is it possible to set a default dir for 'Import Picture', which always

opens?

 No but you might set the shortcut startup directory to your location and this should be the first thing opened.

 

That's since PM44 or so on ...

 Go to addressbook -> addressbook properties -> Options for all addressbooks and deselect something like 'Insert E-Mail-address instead Alias'

(sorry ... having german Pegasus).

When creating a new identity, the new identity is based on the default one, including all general and internet settings.[/quote]

And the email address of such an identity can be changed at Tools => Internet options => General. After doing so you can select the identity (and thereby email address) in the email editor (either on the Special tab or the Message tab depending on you selection of Add identity selector at Tools => Options => Messages and replies - or on the main toolbar or in the Reply or Forward dialogs.

[quote user="Vincent Fatica"]The subjects of emails showing in my folders are truncated at 35 characters (or thereabouts).  Can I change that?[/quote]

No, this is a "hard coded" limit of the current folder system - David Harris is currently working on a new one which will fix this along with lots of other issues. The new mail "folder" isn't actually a folder, i.e. there's no index file where the (abbreviated) subject is taken from, instead the respective messages (each one in a separate file) are scanned in total whenever being opened.

Ah. I was just going through the list of unreplied posts and didn't see the duplicate.

Oh well. No harm done.  [:)]

[quote user="olapi"]I would like to transfer my old mails from my old computer to the new, but how?[/quote]

[quote user="idw"]See .[/quote]

[quote user="olapi"]Well yeah. I didn't work for me. Probably because my old computer has Windows XP and my new has  Win 7 Home Premium....[/quote]

No, I've got the same configuration and it worked without any problems. But it didn't work for me isn't enough information for providing any further hints, can you please specify what you did and what doesn't work?

anyone any other ideas?  

Were you trying to logon with the same user id twice? Have you created and shared systemwide folders or noticeboards? Are the Pegasus files on your local hard disk or a mapped share to a server?

I have had similar problems and have been able to resolve the problem but is depends on your answers to the above. Post back.

and yes... it worked by changing the shortcut! Actually, I even prefer leaving my original identity as it is (a sort of safety exit), but do want to primarily use my second one. Thank you for your help Bob (and thank you Steffan... I'm also keeping your instructions for when I'll really need to leave my original identity .... I sound like some secret agent now ;)

This forum is great, and so is Pegasus

a good day to all

[quote user="Tbilisi"]I need to go from an old XP Professional machine to a new Windows 7 Professional computer.  I use Pegasus 4.51 under XP and have a lot of folders of archived e-mail messages.  How can I take all of these, plus my addressbook, to Pegasus 5.2 on my new machine?  Thank you very much.

Please read this .

A "Compact folders once 0  bytes are deleted" setting means to never compact.  The default setting is 24000 which I would recommend setting back to.

Right-click in the message text and choose 'Reformat long lines'.  (I find that works better than the alternative 'Wrap long lines'.)

west: Your post is not readable.

 ...Please, don't get me wrong: the signature's text is wrapped not only in the signature editor window (which is also the case in OutLook), but in the e-mail message itself. The latter is a problem.

I'm surprised that you don't have that kind of screen real estate.  24" monitors with 1920x1200 pixels are quite common now.

I just did some playing with non-preview mode.  Kinda-Sorta ok. I can arrange the folder view as a vertical strip on the left, then a center list view, then a right message view.

The biggest problem is that on many lists I don't read the msg sequentially, so I end up with a huge number of message windows stacked on each other.  Since you don't have a "close all message windows", I have to click the close button on each of the dozens (or more) of the message windows.

I've also noticed that if I double click in the list to open a msg, then decide to double click on another msg in the list to open it - it doesn't work.  I have to click, wait for focus to change, double-click to open another msg. (remember, non-sequential reading.)

I see you do save the "last opened" size/position for each of the msg list windows, so I'll just have to manually position and size each of the 200 or so lists I have.

Sure would be nice if there was a pre-defined 3 column preview format.

I'm trying to figure out where to setup my receive filters.  I get a LOT of list email, and I want filters to move them to specific folders when they are received - before I read them.

From reading the docs, it looks like my filters will only be run on unread email if I either open the new mail folder, or leave it open.  Is there any way to have the filters be run any time a new message is received, so it's immediately put into the proper folder?

Have you tried using the POP3 filter? It should work well for your scenario.

Regards,

Charles

Create a folder with a name you do like. Then select all the messages in the folder named in a wrong way, then Move the content from this old folder to the new created folder. Once all content is transfered over, just delete the old folder.

Thanks for the info...

It seems that the problem messages that caused me to create this initial post are no longer an issue !? So something changed on my machine...

I will however, know to use the Crash Dump extension in future if there are issues.

In "New mail reporting" section of my options the only boxes which are checked are:
Place an icon in the tray 
Animate the icon when new mail arrives
Only display icon when Pmail is minimized
Play a newmail alert sound

Sometimes it works but quite often not. e.g. I get the sound but no wing flapping when Pmail is minimised.
Is it a Windows or Pmail problem?

XP-SP3 Pmail v4.41

Here's what happens: AVG scans an incoming message. If it finds a virus, it pops up a screen listing the CNM filename along with the virus it found. Pegasus Mail, meanwhile, just locks up.

Attempting to use AVG's 'heal' function often doesn't work. A more reliable (and faster) way is to delete the CNM file using AVG's "go to file" option.

Depending upon the AVG screen, you may see a button labeled 'Go to File' -- if not, right-click on the first infected file and select the option "go to file." This brings up a Windows Explorer window with the file highlighted. Delete the file. Repeat as necessary. Then, close the AVG window.

At this point, PMail will recover, and you'll likely see several subject-less messages in the main message window. It is not necessary to close down PMail. Instead, close the main message window and press Control-W. This will force PMail to re-scan new messages and re-open the main message window.

Hope this helps.

I looked here and could not find a similar topic header, so I'm asking

if anyone has a solution to this.  What I wish is for Pegasus to open

*without* opening a message 1 (or 2 or 3, or whatever) without my asking

for it.

Your shortcut is not running winpm-32.exe but wsend.exe.  Change your shortcut to run the program.

Fabulous!  Thanks heaps!  But it begs the question: How did I not notice that?  Oh well...

No wonder I couldn't find an off switch in the preferences  [:S]
