Wow..

 Steffan, thank you so much and I am embarrassed.  I have been sitting here frustrated and crabbing and all I had to do was ask..

 Cheers and regards...

The Mime headers are faulty. You are coding Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit  when you are including an 8-bit character xA3. To be correct you should also be coding charset="CP1252" as that charset has a representation for the pound sign. Or use the html sequence &#A3  See the table:

I suspect that the state.pmj has been corrupted and the windows are being hidden.  Since you are using the preview mode I would recommend that you edit the state.pmj with an ASCII editor and remove all of the V4FP entries in the [General] section and all of the entries in the [Reader] section. This MUST be done when Pegasus Mail is closed or you will be wasting your time.

Hi,

I migrated to Windows 7 and als to Pegasus mail.

How do I import my old, Windows Mail, mail in Pegasus.

Many thanks Thomas R!

Thanks for your good hints. I had another go at it last night and luckily it turned out to be less dramatic than I expected and ultimately it was partly related to a user error and easy to fix.

I initially thought that the unusual settings I detected were related to the use of the wrong (older) identity. PM is started through a command line option loading the correct identity. I assumed that the PM start icon could have been recreated manually or replaced by the default one through a Windows System Restore which I believe had been done in the past. However, all command lines were still correct. So who knows who changed the settings ;-)

The messages in the inbox were actually not deleted but I found that the sorting order for the inbox was accidentally set to "Sort unread before read" ... which should normally be detected easily. However, the inbox contained close to 700 messages ... waiting to be sorted into folders ... and who checks the end of that list ;-)

I also had searched for specific test emails which I also assumed to have ended up somewhere in that substantial folder tree - as you suggested. However, as all the emails were still in the inbox, nothing was found ;-)

The NOD32 AV might have deleted the "Deleted messages" folder and hopefully no other folders. I have defined some exceptions rules for CNM and PMM files.

Many thanks again.

Thomas-M.

Sorry - I had got myself in a mess and had forgotten to reinstate the two folders that I was having issues with (I had temporarily moved them to another directory). [:$]

All is fine now - it worked. Many thanks for your help. [Y]

Thanks again.  Sorry if I'm being dumb, but I'm still unclear about the use of application names in mime-map.pm from the point of view of outgoing files, since those names don't seem to appear in the files that are sent, as far as I can see.[/quote]

They are not 'application names', but internal Pegasus Mail attachment types.  From mime-map.pm:

; Each line in the file defines a bi-directional mapping between a MIME
; content type on the left and a Pegasus Mail attachment type on the
; right.
;
; When you add an attachment to a message, WinPMail will look through
; this file looking for an attachment type match; when it finds one, it
; will write the attachment using that MIME content type.

[quote]And shouldn't those two default .pm files be brought up to date in the next release?[/quote]

Perhaps they will.

Actually, if you want to, you can close the thread by changing its status to "Resolved".

Cheers!

[quote user="Steffan"]Yes, go to Addresses | User management, click the name you wish to change, click the Change button, change Username and Personal name and click OK. You don't have to change the Personal name, but if you do, the corresponding user directory will be easier to find.

 I forgot I had to go to the administrator, not the user to be changed.

Works like a charm....THANKS!!!!!!

> I tried changing Windows font size in control panel, did not help.

Try setting the font pitch to 96 pixtels in the display setup.  This means going to the display setup in control panel and selecting "Normal" for the font size.

Thanks, Thomas.

In over 10 years with Pegasus I don't think that I've ever right clicked when composing a message!

Glad the details helped!

I don't use Verizon as my primary email host, not because of security concerns but because their servers tend to be unreliable, and because the people running the servers don't seem very knowledgeable.   A couple of years ago, as part of an abortive anti-spam initiative, they turned off accepting email from ALL of Europe -- and kept it that way for weeks without notifying anyone!

I use gmail as my primary source, which does use SSL for both POP and smtp.  In addition, I have a backup copy of all my email, in case anything happens to my local store.  I could actually forward verizon mail to gmail, but I don't do it because the only mail I get on my verizon account is spam.

Gmail also has a superb Bayesian spam detector and I rarely see any leaking through. I get probably 50-100 spam a day and maybe 10 real email.  I never see the spam, so I don't worry about it. Gmail also has the advantage of having a good web mail interface so I can check my mail from any connected computer which allow access to gmail.

Pegasus works quite well with gmail, both directions, by the way.

Hi to all,

At the begining i would like to THANK YOU very much for your responses in order to help me...

Well none from your suggestions were the solution because the paths that i gave to initial setup were correct. But i don't know why an invisible hand take my own put it on the mouse and i open the shared partition ....through the folders found the winpm-32.exe drag it to the desktop of the client machine and created a shortcut there.

AND HERE WE ARE !!!!! everything is ok.... I check the parameters of the shortcut and was the same with the other shortcut that was created from the  wssetup.exe exept the run options -roam -a.

I don't know why happens this i recorded this event but i can;t explain it.

I ran the two shortcut many times one after the other with the old one i get the well known messege with the other evething went ok [*-)].

Thanks again [Y]

Years ago I set up mail filters so that Viagra etc, goes to a junk folder.

They worked fine until I have now installed Win 7.

Now with Win 7 I notice that nothing is being filtered out by these filters.

Have you checked the Content Viewer pane of incoming mail options?  Putting a specific rule for reading PowerPoint files by PowerPoint might solve the problem.  Why this should change suddenly I have no idea.  I have no specific rule for PowerPoint presentations and they display fine through the external PowerPoint application.

Anyone have IMAP working on the fastmail.fm server.

I get continual errors when it attempts to download the headers.

Running Win XP SP3.

Did you solve your problems with Fastmail?  I use it every day, although I don't download headers.

The File | Change user was removed since it caused Pegasus Mail to crash
in many instances.  The best way to perform this function now is to run
separate instances of Pegasus Mail.

1.  Right click on the WinPMail shortcut and select "Properties".

2.  Select the "Shortcut" tab.

3.  Edit the "Target line" to add the commandline option.

A commandline option will generally look like the following:

c:\pmail\winpm-32.exe -i thomas -ms

or when using long directory names

"c:\Program Files\pmail\winpm-32.exe" -i thomas -ms

You create a shortcut for each user you use quite often and one without
the -I <username>.  Now all you have to do is hit the proper shortcut to
have any user you want opened and running.

You can also just use "Add mailbox to list" to point at these other
accounts and then associate an identity with each folder in the accounts
so that forwards and replies will come from the correct user.
