Perhaps this has been discussed earlier, but I couldn't find such topic on this forum using "search" (see my post from minutes ago).


The matter is of saving attachments from a mail. It seems that the common (I always thought that it's system-wide) feature of warning, that in the given folder a file with same name exists and so it'd be overwritten if the new is saved, is not present in PM. I cannot see any help on this, neither any option as "Warn if file exists..." etc.


Sometimes consecutive versions of attachments I receive have the same filenames and so I can unconsciously lose the previous ones.


Thanks for any suggestions (or implementing this feature into PM, if it's not present in any form yet).

Before I post my primary question, I must ask about some general issue about the "search" feature on this site (just because I failed to find the topic that interested me). As I cannot find any help on this:


0) Does this work at all? (I tried to find topics with some common words, like "attachment" and I couldn't see any reports on the search result, neither the forum topics seemed to be filtered)


1) Does this search based on titles only or does it look through the post content also?


2) Does this search using by default OR or AND operators between words (ie. finds any occurrence of any of the words or only the exact phrase)?


3) Can the logical operators of any kind be used (like quotation marks, -, .NOT. etc.?


Sorry if I've overlooked something,
crayfish

Some time ago I asked whether Pegasus could be installed on a computer running the ARM processor instead of Intel (in particular, with Snapdragon in the Microsoft Profile)--no seemed to have an answer. So I am reporting that I have not had any problem using the -roaming installation I already had on a thumb drive. I have not, of course, tried all functions, but receiving (with filter) and sending seem to work o.k.

This is a strange one, at least to me. I'm using Pegasus to collect POP mail from 3 different servers, Yahoo, Gmail and Spectrum, set up in that order in "Internet Mail Options / Receiving (POP3)". The General default timeout is set at 45 seconds, and Settings for Receiving Mail is set to 15 seconds on each server definition. I have several "New mail filtering rules" set up and they seem to work properly. I also have some server side filtering rules set up that also seem to work properly.


The first time I check mail each morning I receive a "Not Responding" message in the New Mail folder while "Applying Filtering Rules" shows in the status line. Then a "POP3 Network or Protocol Error" on pop.gmail.com comes up (see attachment). After I acknowledge that error the remaining mail is collected from the other servers. I can then go back and select the "Check your POP3 host for new mail" icon and all connections work just fine. Mail is then collected from Gmail correctly. This error only happens once, the first time I retrieve mail in the morning. Throughout the day I don't get the protocol error. I don't know if this is a connection error or a filtering error but it is frustrating to deal with each day. Your help or suggestions would be appreciated.


Bob


P.S. Having trouble attaching Protocol Error image. Any suggestions?

I have 930 .pmm files with a total size of 28 gb.
Messages in the New Mail folder become invisible seemingly at random. But if I search for them with ctrl-f pmail finds them and tells me that they are in New Mail folder.


I have tried to move all the messages into a temporary folder and then moving them back into the New Mail folder. But then the missing messages cannot be found anymore at all.


Any ideas ?

Been some time when needing help as you guys have always been helpful so don't know if I went to right spot this time or not.


Simple question from this idiot.


Where do I go to increase time on sending documents? When sending my time always seems to run out on me w/o completion


As usual thanks in advance

Can somebody tell me where the Global Whitelist is located within Pegasus Mail, please?


I am aware I can see it by going to Tools/ Spam and content controls/Global whitelist, but I would like to be able to create a shortcut for it on my desk top, like I have done for the Black list at C:\PMAIL\MAIL\ADMIN\black.pml.


Thanks for any help,


Chris

Hi, I access my inbox from a few different appliances (Laptop, Phone, PC), so IMAP is preferred for this. However my email provider has a mailbox size limit and, so, I can't just keep all my emails that I do not want to delete. Once I have read them, I do file them away in separate folders, but these are part of the mailbox and, thus, still count to the size.


In a perfect world, is there a way I can have the inbox treated as IMAP (i.e. accessible to all appliances) but the other folders in my mailbox treated as pop3 (where I would be using my laptop to take them from the mailbox to store them so I don't have to delete them)? Or be able to select individual folders to be treated as pop3?


I have had it suggested to me about trying, once a month or so changing the setting to pop3 to download everything and setting it back to IMAP, but I would need to put everything that was in the inbox back in... Rather clunky.

Help pop-ups are no longer appearing as they should. When I pick a menu item (eg Specific Help) in the Help menu no pop-up appears. Another blank Pegasus tasks seems to open on the task bar called "Pegasus Mail Help System" but it is blank and won't open when I click on it.


I am running Windows 10, Pegasus 4.81

I'm using Pegasus 4.81 which has been fine for many months. Opened it today and my POP, SMTP and sending identities have all gone. The messages and folders are still present, but the program is behaving as if I am a new user. It's changed the window setup and font sizes, etc. I'm not too bothered about the cosmetic changes, but how do I get my POP, SMTP and identities back? (I haven't done anything except go away for a week and the computer has been off. No crap cleaners or anything....). I do have a recent backup but don't know which files to copy across. Grateful for any help.

When I file or delete messages in my inbox it takes a long time to process them unless I turn off Windows Security virus checker. Surely the messages have been virus checked already when they were first downloaded so why does it need to do it again? If I do any more than a small amount of tidying up my mailbox I have to disable downloads and turn off real time virus checking temporarily, otherwise it takes forever. This is obviously not a good thing to do. Is there any way round this?

Hi Brian F.


No matter how many times I changed the POP3 and SMTP server names, I still can't send or receive emails. I checked the Event Viewer, Window Logs, but I couldn't find the Microsoft Windows TCP/IP folder. Anyway, since there are only five fields to fill by the user, it's not rocket science, and I don't think that the E-mail address, User ID, or Password are causing the connectivity problem. I think that the names I gave to the POP 3 and SMTP servers don't register with Pegasus server names, and I downloaded the email to my Windows 10 and Windows 11 laptops with the same result.
On the flip side, I downloaded G-mail, Frontier, Yahoo emails with no problems, worked on the first attempt, and I wasn't asked to name the incoming/outgoing e-mail servers, so probably that's why. So, sadly I'm giving up on Pegasus e-mail.

Hello:


I have been a Pegasus user for many years. all of my previous use of Pegasus was on various Windows platforms.


Very recently, I have managed to install an operating version of Pegasus 4.80 on my "new" installation of FreeBSD version 14.2, using a "helper" program named Mizutamari.


This program installs a working version of WINE, properly configures it, and makes the launching of Pegasus pretty much painless.


However, there are a few issues which we have not yet eliminated, the most annoying of which is that each time I close Pegasus, when I next launch Pegasus, the settings in the "Network Configuration" must be replaced/added.


So, my question is, how and where are these Network Configurations saved, then reaccessed, when using Pegasus on the Windows platform?


And, is it possible to write or copy a file containing these network configurations that Pegasus will read each time it is started?

I installed Pegasus e-mail, which was quite simple, but I get an error message when I try to download the messages, which states that "A network error occurred during connection to the host".
I have edited the POP3 tab several times to no avail. Any suggestions ?

Does anyone know if Pegasus will run on a computer with the Snapdragon X processor, instead of intel? (I'm looking for the lightest, reliable tablet, 12", that will run non-microsoft Windows programs--so far the best, as well as cheapest, I can find is the MS Surface, which is now AI-centric.)
