Yes, I was able to address the problem by configuring Pegasus to call the 32 bit version of IE, instead of the 64 bit version.

 Under Tools | Options | Incoming Mail | Hyperlinks go to the "Web Browser Command Line" field and enter:

C:\Programs Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe 

(Or browse to it if your file structure is different)  Be sure that "Find Browser Automatically" is NOT checked.

Thanks aderoy

have you any idea the limitation of qmail/mercury etc ?

Ok I assume that you are only putting single messages into this users directory since read-only folders have never been possible in any version of Pegasus Mail.

That said, I archive messages (*.CNM files) to read-only CDROMs and mount them with "Add mailbox to list" without any problems reading the messages at all.

Which file points to the location of the email folders that is supreme that causes this trashing an rewriting to happen.

1.  The utility pconfig.exe is used to modify the pmail.cfg file which holds the specification for the home and new mail directories.

2.  The file hierarch.pm holds the listing of the files and trays.  

3.  In an older setup where the user has been running since v2.x there are PMT files that are used to build the initial hierarch.pm.  The files should be removed.

The program basic structure is

c:\pmail[\programs]                                     the program files  

c:\pmail\mail                                               the file pmail.usr which holds the user data

c:\pmail\mail\username                                the users default home and new mail directories.

How about providing us with a copy of your pmail.ini file and the help | About Pegasus Mail | Info for analysis.

If you are using Excel, make sure you have closed Excel before attempting to mail it, Excel maintains a file lock until the file is released by closing it.

Martin, doesn't your fix this issue, i.e. can you email files from within Excel this way (I don't use MS Office so I can't tell myself)?

Gmail ignore the selektive mail download command. When you contact the mailserver over pop3 then it could happen that the mails on the server are deleted. You should create a new identity in Pegasusmail with the same server setups except the field "user name" in the pop3 settings.

Username: example_your_name@googlemail.com

must be replaced with

recent:example_your_name@googlemail.com

This means you must add the "recent:" part only in your username ( mailadress )in the server pop3 settings.

I don't know for certain about the i7 processor, but I am running Pegasus v 4.51 under Vista 64.  It runs fine for me with only one problem (about which I was actually coming here to search when I saw your post).  I'll mention it her, but it may already be answered elsewhere.  If not, I'll post it as a separate inquiry...

When I click on a link to a website from within Pegasus mail, the link operates fine.  But when I close Pegasus, it generates an error saying "This program requires flash.ocx, which is no longer included in this version of Windows."  There isn't a 64-bit version of Flash yet, so even installing the 32 bit version didn't seem to help.  The error doesn't seem to actually cause any problems - it's just confusing, especially if there's an extended delay between when you use the browser and when you close Pegasus.

Unfortunately there is a known bug with the stationery at present. There are a few related threads a few pages back in the forum.

I haven't checked but it may be worth your while reinstalling the previous version of Pegasus if you really need these files. Whatever you do, don't trash those files, clearly they are fine if you used them before - it's Pegasus that has changed.

From David Harris

"Just so you know...

There's been a bug logged with BugTraq claiming that Pegasus Mail
has a remote buffer overflow vulnerability.

The gist of the report is that if you can get a Pegasus Mail user to
connect to a specially compromised POP3 server, and the server sends a
particularly long error response immediately upon connection, the copy of
Pegasus Mail will crash (or can theoretically be compromised).

I have confirmed and fixed this problem, although I regard it as a very
low-risk vulnerability, simply because of the hoops a villain would have
to go through to be able to use it.

Cheers!

Thank you .....I will try

[quote user="Paavo"] I have moved just recently from POP3 to IMAP and now the mails are stored at server side. Some functionality I had before as granted seems to  have vanished but perhaps I just do not know how to make the things work?

1. the message info is not displayed anymore for imap (am I doing something wrong?) and it is not possible to change  the message properties. I miss most of all the ability to turn off the urgent bit - then the message has been read there usually no need for me message to stay at the top of the message list. The users of Thunderbird seem to be able to cope with this situation as the mails are shown as normal ones after reading but I guess this is the displaying issue. Is where a workaround to supress the urgent mails to climb at the top of the list?[/quote]

That functionality doesn't work over the IMAP protocol.  All you can really alter is the read/unread status and (sometimes) the reply flag.  The options on the Properties screen can't be altered.

 [quote]2. the general search from folder tree does not accept the  "search all folders in selected mailbox". I have two mailboxes - one is the My mailbox (local) and another is a imap mailbox and I do not know how to activate the search specifically to all folders of IMAP mailbox. The IMAP mailbox does not seem to be the "selected" for a search despite the fact that it is selected - highlited. if the folders to search is set to be "search all folders in selected mailbox" then always My mailbox gets searched. Is this a bug of PM4.51 or should I do something differently?[/quote]

I haven't noticed this problem, but searches done to a remote server are very slow for me, so I try to avoid them.

 

Hi all !

I have just started to use the public folders feature of Pegasus Mail, and it seems to be a little annoying difference with regular folders. When you move unread messages to regular folders, the text next to its icon is colored in green, so you can always know if for a given folder you have still unread messages. However, with public folders, it seems this coloring option is not available. Is this the case or is it possible to activate it ? If that's the case, then I shall suggest in the relevant forum section to add this as a new feature for the next version of "Mail Store". Thanks for your help.

Cheers !

Hi !

It is working ! Thanks a lot !

Whiskyfizz.

Hi !

Indeed. I think it is really urgent to change that in the manual because it is a misleading example.

Cheers !

Whiskyfizz.

Thanks! Where is the cache stored?

In subdirectories of the users home mail directory.

Hi,

I often experiment this king of problem. First the message counter in one of my IMAP folder disappears (normally the iNBOX), then Pegasus states there was an error on the IMAP server and afterwards I get a MS C++ Runtime Library stating that there was a buffer overrr.

I normally restart PMAIL, reconnect to the IMAP server, right click on the INOBX fodler (or the one on which I have the problem) and clear both the header and body cache, then a reindex the folder and the problem is solved.

Sometimes, like today, this solution doesn't work and PMAIL contunies to crash.

In this situation I used to access my IMAP server via a web client move a substantial amount of messages from the INBOX folder to another one and hope that PMAIL is able to reindex the faulting folder. Of course I will prefer to have a "real solution".

Is the use of the mbxmaint.exe and check and reindex the faulting folder teh "real solution"?

Thanks, regards

   Domenico

Here is another option you might try.  The reason that deletions are so slow is that it is moving each message to the "deleted" folder, and this takes time.  Even if you normally allow messages to go there, you can bypass that option by holding down the <CTRL> key while deleting.  You can select a whole group of messages by using <CTRL>-A or by using your <CTRL> or shift keys while selecting message to delete, then hold down the <CTRL> key while deleting.  This bypasses the deleted folder altogether and is almost instantaneous.  Be careful, though.  When you do this, the messages are gone forever.

Thanks Thomas; that sounds like a sensible solution. However, I cannot find a "print to file" option anywhere....

You need to setup a new printer set to print to a file.  I normally use a PDF printer for this so I can do both text and graphics.

 

Suddenly cannot edit pop3 hosts for any identity. When I go into network configuration, click on receiving pop3, select a host and click on edit, PMail crashes. Using version 4.41 on XP. I've gone through all the usual maintenance procedures including reinstalling. Any ideas why this is suddenly happening. Thanks for your help.

How do I tell Pmail to put oputgoing mail into my new Queue location?

You have to use pconfig.exe (nconfig.exe NDS) to change the location of the Mercury queue for any client using Netware.  If the Netware queue directory is still valid you might be able to setup a secondary queue in Mercury/32 pointing at that directory as an easy solution to the problem.
