At the present time, I'm running Pegasus as an Administrator on Windows 7.

Below is some more information and logs from Comodo. In Pegasus I always retrieve only email titles from the server (which allows deleting unwanted messages straight on the server without actually downloading any of them to PC). The following command is used in Pegasus:

In this case it makes no difference because there were no messagaes on the server.

Comodo Activity Log after polling POP3 server from Pegasus a few times, Locate32 never started:

Comodo Activity Log after Locate32 was started and POP3 server was subsequently polled twice from Pegasus:

One possible theory would be that Locate32, when run alongside Comodo Firewall Pro, somehow interferes with "wsock32.dll" used by Pegasus.

I can (only off-site), but it shouldn't be necessary as "himself" solved it somehow (IIRC it's to do with mailbox paths somehow) - unfortunately he believed that posting his solution wouldn't help anyone else (I asked him for doing so and closing the thread). If he doesn't reply within a reasonable amount of time I suggest contacting him personally via the "Contact" button on one of his replies (and please tell him to post his solution now that we know he's not the only one encountering this issue - maybe you'd be more successful than I was).

BTW: Did you do a fresh install on your (probably new) system?

Using Win2000, pmail 4.51.  I have noted that wsendto. exe does not seem to work if the setting "Tools: Options: Signatures: Add this variant of the default sinature upon message creation" is ticked.  Every attempt to use a mailto URL results in wsendto.exe being spawned and never cleared.  The only way to kill these processes is with Task Manager.  Untick the feature, and all returns to normal.  I use various browsers (Firefox and other Mozilla, IE6) and the problem exists with all of them.

Do you have an image included in your signature? If so see the post and try whether it fixes your issue.

Well, just like the Mercury upgrade, that went very well. Did a couple of tests and everything seems to be working fine.

Thanks for another diligent piece of work.

Thanks,Sven. My RAM tested OK in the Windows memory test, so I suppose the network card is the most likely culprit now.

I re-installed PM over the previous version having copied the PM messages to
a TEMP folder just in case.   Unfortunately this did not cure the
inability to open PM, it just flashes the horse as before.

I uninstalled PM via Control Panel , re-booted the PC and checked with Explorer that nothing was
left, but the PM folder was still in C:/PegasusMail so I assumed it must be the remnants
of ver 4.41 files.  I deleted this folder.

I then re-installed v4.51 using the Wizard and when it asked for the location of the messages gave my
folder path as C:/PegasusMail Messsages.   The installation finished and now it opens as normal
when clicking on the desktop icon -  it was noticed the Welcome message
window said "Welcome to 4.5! "  somehow the 1 & ! have been switched
round in the files!! 

It also stated that it detected a previously used older version on this Mailbox. Why does it say that if I had successfully
deleted the old version - is the information held in a file in the message folder?   I appear to have lost the new signatures, the old ones for v4.41 are present instead.   Rebooted the PC once more, renewed the signatures and now everything is back to normal (this is from the Win XP machine),  but it still hasn't solved the question what happened.

I sat down yesterday and worked out the parameters for using SSL with Spamcop's excellent IMAP4 / SMTP servers.  I'm using Pegasus 4.51 on Windows 7 but these settings should be version independent.  These instructions assume you currently have Pegasus working correctly with Spamcop's mail servers but enough information is provided here to configure an account from scratch.

In Pegasus click on Tools -> Manage IMAP Profiles -> Edit

On the Security tab tick the "Via direct SSL connect" and tick the "Enable server certificate fingerprint tracking".  Leave the "Current certificate fingerprint" box empty.  Pegasus will fill it in after making the first connection.

On the Connection tab the IMAP Server address is mail.spamcop.net with Server port 993.  Login name (your Spamcop email address) and Password are required.

From what I've read, the Spamcop POP3 server uses port 995 for SSL connections but I have not tried this as I prefer using IMAP.

The above settings configures your IMAP mail retrieval to use a secure SSL connection. Before going any further, test the above configuration by sending yourself an email.  Once you've received your test message and checked to see it is readable, you'll want to configure your SMTP mail sending to use a secure SSL connection.

Back at the main Pegasus tool bar click Tools -> Internet options.  Click the Sending (SMTP) tab and Edit your Spamcop SMTP host settings.

On the Security tab tick the "Via STARTTLS" and tick the "Enable server certificate fingerprint tracking".  Again, leave the "Current

certificate fingerprint" box empty as Pegasus will fill it in after

making the first connection.  In the SMTP Authentication section the "Login to the SMTP server using the following details:" needs to be ticked and filled in with your Spamcop email address and password.

On the General tab the Server host name is smtp.cesmail.net with Server TCP/IP port 587. 

From what I've read, the Spamcop SMTP server will also accept secure connections on port 25 but I have not tried this as port 25 is routinely blocked on many routers.

Again, you'll want to send and receive a test message to insure your configuration is working correctly.

In case you weren't aware, Spamcop's webmail also supports secure connections by using the url https://webmail.spamcop.net/

Hopefully someone will find these instructions helpful.

Yup. Spent a good part of the day trying to find some discrepancy. Found nothing. However, the problem - which appeared spontaneously disappeared in the same way.

With luck the firewall will never see me as "special" again.  

Thanks

I have not posted it yet. I will share the documentation giving its functions, and if there is interest I will publish it shortly.

Small revision to Virscan parsing, and AVG V9 support added:

• Virscan.ini fixed to deal with blank values
• Recognises AVG V9 return code 2 indicates scan ok

Thanks to Michael R, for helping in solving parsing error.

Many thanks David, MailStrip is just the job, found it on Softpedia.

HTML is not a problem as the messages I'm exporting are all (thankfully) plain text, but noted for future reference.

 Thanks again.

For no reason I can determine, my telltale window pops up telling me the total number of messages in my new mail folder, rather than the number of new unread messages which it always used to.

[/quote]

I may be mistaken but AFAIK Pegasus has never done that. A colleague of mine has her new mail window open all day and, according to her telltale window, she ends up with dozens of new messages at the end of a workday, while only a few of them are actually new, unread messages. Personally, I prefer opening and closing the new mail folder to keep a clearer view of what is actually new -- and to allow the new mail filtering rules I have configured to do their work but that's a different story.

I apologize if this has already been answered. My Pmail V451 has some difficulty forwarding message with editing. Even though Rich-text box has been checked, after editing my forwarded message usually has a much smaller margin than the original wide margin message. I have checked and unchecked every box in the forwarding menu to see if that changed/corrected anything. It doesn't. Along with a small margin often the forwarded message has a smaller font and different picture colours than the original. I experimented with Mozilla Thunderbird and I was able to forward mail in the same format as the original.There were no changes to margins, fonts, colours, etc. Is this a problem with Pmail or have I not set something up properly? With dialup I appreciate Pmail's ability to selectively download mail but the changed format when forwarding causes some annoying issues at the receiving end.

Many thanks.

This has been discussed here several times, e.g. here:

David Harris will address this problem, see his comments here: http://www.pmail.com/windows7.htm

Thank you, yes I tried the "Add mailbox to list" trick already and it

gave me a mailbox with "New Mail Folder" in it and nothing else.

Strange, this should show the PMM/PMI files that are in that directory as folders UNLESS they are copies of the current folders.

The search you suggested turned up nothing. What should I do now?

Sorry...  I see this was mentioned, just a little down the page.

I'll be sure to check more thoroughly next time.

Thank you Mr. Sharkfin....appreciate the help

Phil,

Thanks between the port number and setting my IP to the Active directoy global catalog I now have it working.

Thanks
