Have you looked at the port and security settings for your pop3 and smtp hosts? Seems you have to check Via direct SSL connect in both cases. Hope this helps.

I am having trouble with Pegasus’ email settings but have found no help for this problem in , so I am asking for help from the Mail Community.

Here is a screen shot of the settings that work in Outlook 2003:

<?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><shapetype id="_x0000_t75" stroked="f" filled="f" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600"><stroke joinstyle="miter"></stroke><formulas><f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"></f><f eqn="sum @0 1 0"></f><f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"></f><f eqn="prod @2 1 2"></f><f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"></f><f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"></f><f eqn="sum @0 0 1"></f><f eqn="prod @6 1 2"></f><f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"></f><f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"></f><f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"></f><f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"></f></formulas><path o:connecttype="rect" gradientshapeok="t" o:extrusionok="f"></path><lock aspectratio="t" v:ext="edit"></lock></shapetype><shape style="WIDTH: 429.75pt; HEIGHT: 327.75pt" id="_x0000_i1025" alt="" type="#_x0000_t75"><imagedata o:href="cid:image002.jpg@01CA945F.FCC42F40" src="file:///C:%5CDOCUME~1%5CAlva%5CLOCALS~1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_image001.jpg"></imagedata></shape>

The Outlook email is hosted at http://HostGator.com. Here is what they give as setup specifications:

<shape style="WIDTH: 718.5pt; HEIGHT: 630pt" id="_x0000_i1026" alt="" type="#_x0000_t75"><imagedata o:href="cid:image003.jpg@01CA945F.FCC42F40" src="file:///C:%5CDOCUME~1%5CAlva%5CLOCALS~1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_image002.jpg"></imagedata></shape>

I have used the same password for attempting to set up Pegasus that was used in setting up the HostGator email account. Here is the Pegasus error message:

<shape style="WIDTH: 405.75pt; HEIGHT: 341.25pt" id="_x0000_i1027" alt="" type="#_x0000_t75"><imagedata o:href="cid:image006.jpg@01CA945F.FCC42F40" src="file:///C:%5CDOCUME~1%5CAlva%5CLOCALS~1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_image003.jpg"></imagedata></shape>

I have also tried using alva+thefrequenttravelersclub.com as Hostname. Pegasus does not like that either.

I would appreciate very much any suggestions you may have.

I installed Pegasus a couple of weeks ago on my Win XP SP3 system. 

It crashes when I click on a message to open it, at irregular

intervals, but it happens several times a day.  After this happened for

a while, I reinstalled Pegasus from a fresh download.  The problem

still occurs.

The Windows error report refers to bearhtml.dll.  I can post screen shots of the report if more details will help.

 My impression is that all emails I'm getting are plain text, not "html".  If it matters, how do I check that?

Go to Tools | Options | Advanced options and set the Winsock to load "Always" and see if this helps.

[quote user="Thomas R. Stephenson"]Have you looked at the "Autofiltering" to do this?[/quote]

Yes, I have read this part of the manual, but this feature offers only one kind of filtering — thread-based, while I need "Expression" rules (just as you have suggested) to detect the pop3-account (or address) the message has been sent to (I already know it's the "Delivered to" field in the Raw view).

The best thing I see so far is to convert my "On open" rules into "On close" ones and read all new mail while in the "New mail" folder, letting it be filtered after it having been read. 

Anton

P.S.:The most annoying limit (to me) is that PMail doesn't update the 'visible' contents of its folders until they are clicked on (Even the "New mail" folder gets refreshed only after clicking on it.

"In the middle"? Is it appearing at random places or always in a similar relative place (like near the end)?

Do you often copy and paste things from Microsoft Word into your e-mails? Or perhaps insert text files into your messages? I ask because that looks suspiciously like a Word formatting command or field code to me.

Alternatively, if these people are Outlook users, perhaps it is adding this, not Pegasus. Outlook defaults to using Word as it's message editor.

Here's what I think with my limited experience..

'Delete on exit' option won't delete search results which were done before choosing that option, but will delete searches which you do after taking that option.

So you'll have to delete old results manually.

'Delete on exit' option won't delete search results folder itself, but you can delete it by hitting the 'Delete' button above folder list - keyboards delete button wont do the trick.

Atleast that's how it works for me.

Thank you for your kind words.

I spent 3 hours dancing the dance of fools in 32 bit windows 7 with a similar problem. Installed Win7, installed Pegasus, pointed Pegasus to my old mail drive - it saw all the user accounts, happily I exited and thereafter I'd only ever get "user does not exist".

I tried UNC paths and drive letter paths, always the same. pcconfig always came up with crippled strings when I recalled it. 3 or 4 uninstalls, wipes and new attempts later I deleted pmain.cfg in the pmail directory. Again pmail found the old mail drive (multiple user option).

This time I double clicked on each and every user in the window, and Eureka! Pegasus can now find the users. I thought that the .usr file should've taken care of that in the first place, but apparently not. Don't recall ever having to do that before.

Unfortunately, every time I try to start Pmail now, Win7 throws up a requester about 'unknown publisher'. What a pain. I haven't been able to figure out how to set  clearance for pmail yet.

Much, much worse, however is, that Mercury can pick up mail, but doesn't sort it into the right place any more. Major bugbear. I shall move a query that problem over into the right forum later ...

 -P.

Please got to the for details and links about setting Pegasus Mail as your system's default email application.

@ Thomas:

Make sure you pack your SSH tunnel [:)]

Oh, and remember your home IP, DNS can be "selective".

You need to delete the actual files from your mailbox. They'll be called something like inetsig.pns, inetsig2.pns etc.

I have two versions of each signature file - a .pns file and a .pms file. I presume that one is the plain text version and the other is for when I send rich text/HTML messages.

Yes, thanks, that clears that up.  I'll work on it and see if I can get it to work.  Thanks for your help.

[quote user="Phons van Oploo"].....

Or use Ctrl-key and click at the Delete-button.

Succes.
[/quote]

I've been wanting to do this same thing with SOME messages (not all), however it doesn't seem to behave quite the same as you describe in the version I'm using (I'm using a pretty old version).

In my older version, it doesn't matter whether I hold down Ctrl when hitting delete.  What matters is if I hold down Ctrl when I then click "YES" to confirm the delete.

This will be a time saving tip.  Thanks.

[quote user="Steffan"]

More seriously: Do you know of any email client that *is* capable of doing this? 

[/quote]

Just wanted to add that the mail client in the Opera browser definitely does remove the sig block of a message to which you are replying. A great function that I'd love to see in Pegasus. I'll post in the Wishlist forum linking to this thread. No harm in asking!

sorry if this is a daft question but how would i check this and if it is so change it so it did update?

Since I do not have Win7 you're pretty much on your own here.  The loss of the data says the pmail.ini file is not being updated on closing.  It works while you are in the program since these data are stored in memory but of course that is cleared when you close the program.  This needs to be written to the pmail.ini file and you'll have to figure out why you can't.  You probably can't edit and save pmail.ini with Notepad either.

> However, in the account that lost its trays (thank you for your correction of my explanation of the problem) twice, the hierarch.pm is

When the hierarch.pm file is the not available to it's open exclusive call, Pegasus Mail will build a new one in memory using the PMM/PMI files in the home mail directory as a source. On the closing it will write these to a replacement hierarch.pm file. The  hierarch.pm, when re-built by Pegasus Mail though does not contain any of the trays since they are only shown in the hierarch.pm file.  

The only way to restore the trays, other than manually, is using a backup copy of the file.

I copied the whole kit and kaboodle to a storage drive, it should  not have the locks or permissions that the Vista has (Home Premium BTW) Still no joy.  Next wonderful step will be to reinstall WPmail.

[quote user="ikester"]

Hi, all I have is the .wab file I saved but there is no OE in Windows 7, so I have no way to convert it. I'll look up the program Dawn that someone else mentioned.[/quote]

There is a replacement for OE on the Microsoft website called 'Windows Live Mail'.  It will import OE .wab files and then export them as csv.

is it possible to send email from external programs using pegasus mail.

 Yes, but I do not do it.  If I want to send mail from a program I use a commandline mailer like Blat!. 

As for the example shown, I would use WinPMail's mail merge using the Excel data as the source file to send personalized messages to each user.  The file would need to be saved as tab-delimited text, but the whole process is quite simple and you can actually verify what you are sending before it is sent.  Imagine what would happen if this VBA code slipped a cog and sent the wrong data to the members of the staff!
