[quote user="Lythande"]You say you downloaded once, so I doubt this is the case, but since you also say you have three different email accounts which all suddenly stopped working (and assuming for the moment they're not all on the same server) and under the "let us not overlook the obvious" theory of completeness, did you happen to accidentally click the online/offline toggle icon?  Too many things point against this, but for the above reasons I thought I'd include it.
[/quote]

Lythande,

You are becoming too efficient, YES, I did check the OnLine/OffLine toggle on each of the different Addies.  They are all three on this one CPU using CMD/Line "Pegasus\Programs\winpm-32.exe -A -MS -I " with the individual NickNames.

 Excuse me, I am just being a little facetious.  I have over looked that before and this time I had made special effort to do just that.  CHECKed not just once but several times.  Also did take it OffLine and returned it to OnLine because there have been some strange happenings on this system.  My Shift key has reversed operations, pressed and get lower case and release get CAPS, it may have been the CAPS Lock may have changed function but the indicator light was Off.  CAPS without the shift key being pressed.  That lasted about 15 minutes then suddenly was back to normal.  This has occurred several times in the past 2-4 weeks.  NO, I am not asking you to troubleshoot other problems, all operations are back to NORMAL, or as normal as can be.  This is just an example of some of these strange happenings.

Thank you for this suggestion,

Is it coming from your machine or an external source that is forging your address?

If the latter, then there is nothing you can do about it.

Thanks

I have now reposted it in the correct place. I am not able to delete the whole thread here, though.

Hi

This is a strange one. Sometimes I will copy a hyperlink in an email to the clipboard and then paste it into the address bar of the browser. This usually works fine.

Today, I received an email from Dell with a link to updated firmware for a tape drive. I copied the link and pasted it into my browser (Internet Explorer 7), and the link was missing the domain name. When I hovered the mouse pointer over the link, the domain name is definitely there.

This is what Pegasus Mail displays when the link is displayed in the status bar:

But this is what is pasted:

http:///support/downloads/format.aspx?c=uk&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R216654&ref=sdc_dlsource

which fails.

Not really a problem as I was able to solve it by adding the domain name. Does anyone know what happened here?

Just installed it & tried to reply to email or send a new email post I got a weird salad of the post. Upon keying in a punctuation (e.g. period or comma) it jumped to the left end of the line, & any typing added after that was there on the left too. The same effect happened to the quoted original post. Also the bullets appear to the right of the text.

I am using XP SP3 with English as default & Hebrew (which is RTL) as an optional alternate language. & when I type in Hebrew it types fine.

any ideas?

thanks

Thank you so very much Thomas.  It works.  Will do some reading as how to password.  What a great forum:)

There was a problem, however!

This turned out to be a problem on the server with some of the mails were under root ownership. Now been sorted.

Thanks

Ellie

This warning is for WINDOWS / IE stored passwords etc. and will not effect Pegasus mail. Also if you have just created "Harry" then there won't be any to loose. [:)]

Adding a password to the Administrator account is a very good idea anyway, and you should run as another user for daily use.

Save as a text file 

When saving messages as text files, there appear to be no headers saved?

Is there a way to at least include the Date of the email, and the To field, and possibly the Subject with the Save command?

If you save from the folder listing you get the entire message.  If I just want the limited headers I print to a file and select  "Print first line of significant headers"; pdf using CTRL+SHIFT+P for a formatted message, text for a plain text message.

Keywords 

How do you find, and sort messages with keywords? I can't find any information on the help screens about keywords.

You cannot but you can do a "Select" based on text and then either "Highlight" or "Sort to top" in a folders.

 Any help on either topic will be much appreciated.[/quote]

I get "unknown" in my newmail list all the time, but it's usually because it's spam and the sender hasn't entered a from and/or subject header.

As already stated it is most likely the ISP has set a maximum number of outgoing

messages believing that you may be sending spam or need a "business" account.  I have

many more recipients than you do and once I met their (ISP) maximum I found a work-around for me anyway.  Forward without "edit" the original to rest of recipients using no larger a number than they (ISP) allow. To make sure that the second batch is going out ok send a copy of the message to yourself at a new e-mail address at for example GMail.

Cliffp

The key is "supposed". At least one or two mails a day are not only not spam but also important messages.

But if you are going into the folder every day to get these false positives how did it get to be 90K messages.  Are you not deleting the trash? 

By the way... I tried to create a filter rule to delete from mailbox

some spam messages before downloading new ones but haven't succeeded

... any idea on how to do it?

I've done a lot of testing with POP3 server side filtering and it pretty much worked as specified.  Here's one of my server side filter setups where I am deleting mail older that 14 days.

--------------------------------------------- age.pnp --------------------------------------------

Age
If age older than 14 DeleteOnServer ""
If not age older than 15 Download ""

----------------------------------------------- end -------------------------------------------------

If nothing else though you can always use the PMail "Selective mail download" to get rid of the trash on the server.

I tried about everything with authentication, certificates.  MTCO said Pegasus mail just does not work with them.

Not sure why it does not.  The Direct SSL using ports 995 and 465 should work since it does work with GMail.  What does the session log say when you try to connect.  There is always the possibility that the ISP is using something that the add on cryptlib does not like.

Sounds like the text was one long line over the 1k limit of characters between hard returns.

Move all of the *.CNM files out of the new mail directory and try again.  It should now open normally.  You can then put the messages back one at a time until you find the problem message.  

It's probaby going to be a really large message.  If you are using content control then I'd recommend that you set a limit on the message size so you are not scanning these large files with encoded attachments.

1.    Use  Tools | Spam and content controls | Content control...

2.    Select and edit the control definition

3.    Select the "Message tests" tab.

4.    Enter 8000 in "Check at most this many bytes in each message"

Mr. T.R.Stephenson,

Excuse me for not having been here, long story, just discovered what was the problem with not downloading the graphics.  The Bear Help feature from Mr. Irelam was out of version, several versions out, and I managed to get a fresh copy.  Two of my e-mail addies were working fairly well.  The third, my Wife's, would not work plus my system has given me problems over the last several months, another story.  

It seems that I needed to go into Tools/Internet Options/ Receive Pop3/Security Tab and then check box "Disable certificate validation " and that solved my problems.  Plus needed to go back into my Wife's Mail box and recreate the Bearhtml.log file for her account.  Now it is all working again.

Thank you for the assistance and reading my posts plus being patient with me even when I was not able to even get on the web for several months.  I am back and still working with PegasusMail and Vista SP2 now.

[quote user="gprit"]I have used Pegasus for many years as a single user.

I have now set up a second user (ie my business emails) and can see how to do this and switch users etc.

What I cant seem to find is how to pick up several email identities from the business server....eg

receive  graham@xxxxx.co.uk

plus      enquiry@xxxxx.co.uk[/quote]

Are you receiving using POP3 connections from separate mailboxes?

You can have as many different POP collection definitions as you want (Tools/Internet options/Receiving (POP3) 

[quote]Also.....is there any way of then SENDING from whatever identity it came in as????[/quote]

If you create different identities with the proper sending addresses and then set default identities for folders, then each reply will come from the correct address.  For new emails you can set the identity on the 'special' tab.

Another subject altogether, but can an ordinary non-geek users upload an identifying imge for use here?

[:D] 

I created a few distribution lists and have the same address book and

lists copied to all my clients.  When sending mail to a distribution

group everything works fine.  But, I had a user reply to a message sent

to a d-list and she selected the "Reply to all receipents in the

original message" radial button thinking it would use the d-list in her

address book.  It didn't.  Pmail took the d-list name and added my

domain name to it resulting in a error message stating that "the user

is unknown at this site".  How do I prevent this from happening?  Do I

need to put some sort of policy or filter in Mercury?

The only way to solve this problem is to use full SMTP email addresses in the dist. lists.  This is especially true when sending off server where the simple usernames will be converted by some server along the like to full SMTP addresses. 

You really should have that addressbook that all your users use set to paste addresses instead of names as well.  FWIW, this also makes the send process faster since the addresses do not have to be resolved at send time.
