[quote user="irelam"]As a partial solution I am considering having a hot key in Pegasus Mail (Bearhtml) to allow charset changes, which would allow some kinds of corrections. this solution may appear in the New Year.[/quote]

That's great, thanks Martin.

[quote user="tombell"]I created the text file Bearhtml.log and saved it to C:\PMAIL\Programs because there is no directory called NewMail that I can find by searching my computer (yes, view hidden files and folders is on)[/quote]

Check (menu item) Help => About Pegasus Mail => Info for the New mailbox location.

I recently started using Pegasus 4.51 so I'm just a newbie with the mail client.

Windows 7 32bit with a Readyboost USB drive ( if it matters).

The menu line with Open Add Rename Delete List keeps getting turned off and I have to turn it back on ?

Right-click and set the display option to be "text only".  That will be preserved between sessions.

Could your antivirus be the culprit?

Reason for suggesting, currently 200+ emails a day (pop3 and IMAP accounts) no problems. Tried a new antivirus and everything slowed down to unusable IMHO. Switch back to Avast and happy once again.

Pegasus mailstore 125 folders 3.6GB active and 8.2GB in archive folders

WinXP Pro SP3 2GB Ram, DSL - POP3 from ISP and three IMAP accounts (FastMail/Gmail and finally Mercury as local test bed)

Yes. That's because Internet Explorer is not really a separate program. It's tied into Windows so deeply that settings changed there affect the whole system. This explains its appalling security record and the legal action against Microsoft.

If you can handle Pegasus, you can handle a new browser like Firefox, Opera or Safari, all of which offer better features and safer browsing then Internet Explorer.

When I first started with Pegasus it took some experimenting to really get the idea of identities but it's not complicated if explained properly. What you want can't be achieved through the use of identities, though Pegasus can do it.

Let's start at the beginning. When you install Pegasus you are asked whether you want a single or multi-user environment. This is like having a few office colleagues use Pegasus rather than just yourself. Each person would have a login that presents them with their own mail.

Within each user's Pegasus account, it is possible to have multiple identities. Each identity is essentially nothing more than an alternative set of options that you wish to use in certain situations. This is a similar concept to the multiple signatures that Pegasus allows you to have. One identity may have your nickname and personal e-mail address, along with other options such as plain text only messages and no copy-to-self, whilst a second identity has settings that uses HTML mail, your work e-mail address and permanent copy-to-self.

However, identities are not intended to be a way of separating your mail accounts. Instead (and this is kind of subtle and hard to 'get' at first) identities are for assuming another online persona. In the example above, outgoing mail would appear entirely different depending on the identity chosen prior to writing the message. The same message sent from both would appear to come from either your personal address or your work address.

Incoming mail, no matter which server you collect it from or which identity is selected (and different identities can have entirely separate SMTP and POP servers that they communicate with) will always be delivered into the single set of folders that comprise your Pegasus login account. This is because, logically, it is all your e-mail and they are your folders.

How to achieve what you want? Well, you can set up a filter that sends all mail received through a given e-mail address or server to a particular folder. You can set up an alternative Pegasus login account to keep things entirely separate if you so desire.

I'm sure other forum users will drop more ideas here soon enough but I thought it would be useful to explain the whole identities thing. I hope I did OK.

Isn't that file name indicative of a temporary file such as is created when one views a received attachment? Is it possible that you sent your template out after having attached a file that you had opened from another e-mail and was not saved discretely? I don't know whether or how that might be possible. Maybe I'm talking gibberish [he said helpfully].

I can't imagine that your message was rejected because it had an attachment. Far more likely is that, for some reason, it never went out.

As for preventing attachments to your template-created message, does your template definition specify the inclusion of an attachment? Are you actually using a template or saved stationery?

[quote user="dilberts_left_nut"]

Why not (with both instances of Pegasus closed and after checking that you will not overwrite any existing folders) just copy the PMM / PMI files for the relevant folder to the other?

Start the target instance, and the folder should be there.

I realize that this is an old thread, but the problem still exists in 4.63. The workaround is to set the default for each folder, but the help specifically states "You can also associate an identity with a mailbox entry in the Folder Manager Window: when you do this, the identity will be used for all folders in that mailbox, even ones created after you make the selection." It would be nice if this actually worked.

Exit WinPMail and go to your HOME mail directory.  Open the file state.pmj for editing.  Go to the [General] section and delete the following lines

FClassic=0,22,304,385,"0"
V4FP=0,0,829,544,"0"
V4FP-1=0,50,194,517
V4FP-2=197,50,821,154,"121,222,94,0,34"
V4FP-3=197,157,821,517

save and exit.  You'll get the defaults when you restart WinPMail.

Please try,

Tools > Internet Options > Receiving (POP3) > Edit (select an account).

On the General tab uncheck: Delete mail on server once it has been succesfully downloaded. 

I'm glad it sorted it for you, Ernest.

As far as backups go, I'm pretty sure you would follow the standard procedure I mentioned when we first discussed this. That is, just back up the entire Pmail folder, using a method of synchronize with synching of file deletions also. I keep 2 archived versions of changed or deleted files. Just in case. I have had on the (very) odd occasion to revert to a version more than 1 day before.

If others will chime in if they feel that there is a better way, that would be great, too.

[quote user="Jonmcg"]I still have a copy of 441, so if your email can take 7M or you have an ftp site let me know.[/quote]

While I myself have absolutely no reason whatsoever to downgrade to 4.41, those who do shouldn't have too much difficulty finding a copy because it's right in the Downloads section of this very forum.

Cheers!

This problem has been described in another thread:

http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/31251.aspx

Can a solution be found? 

[quote user="honda90"]Ended.......the combined previous help along with eyeballs in my head to properly read error messages, I checked the disable certificates and I'm off and running.  Thanks to everyone!!!
[/quote]

Pls mark this thread as "solved".

Glad it's not just me then :)

It was probably a W2003 server hiccup... :)

It wasn't possible to delete the .pmm file from my workstation.

I deleted the file working on the local drive of the server.

Everything's ok now.

I had the same issue that start this thread (...locked by another process etc.). Initial attempts to delete MAILBOXP.LCK did not work. I discovered that the 'file owner' from from one of my other user accounts. Deleting the MAILBOXP.LCK file from an account with admin privileges solved the problem. Back in business.

Further, FYI another article suggested moving the CNM file. In my case this didn't work - probably due to the conflict indicated above.

LAST - thanks for the help.

[quote user="Sharkfin"][quote user="mitchell"]

Steffan, you are a Godsend!!  Found the files, but now how do I get them to go into the *.pmm folder?  Also, do you know what to do so that future notes will find their way automatically to the *.pmm folder as in the past?

You're just jealous :-)

[quote user="Ellie Kennard"]Not sure what you mean about what you did.[/quote]

Right-click on the taskbar, go to the settings (preferences?) and play around with the settings for icons and grouping.

I ve no Vista running, maybe someone with an english Vista can give exact advise on how these items are called.
