There is a simpler way to do this, assuming you each have separate usernames. Get the name of the folder from Pegasus Mail (xxxx.pmm). Open My Computer, go the folder containing that file, right-click it and set the security so that just your user account has access to it. When other people log on and use the same email account, they will not be able to access your folder. I've done this where I work and it works fine.

Problem1:  ("Save cfmt file ..."): After putting PMAIL into the exceptions of KaperskyIS, so that KIS doe not contoll PMAIL, the problem is solved.

Problem2: solved with your suggestions.s

 Thankyou

[quote user="foggydave"]Kind of new in this process. Where do I look to find the logs?

Use Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info and note the HOME mail directory.  You'll find the TCPxxxx.WPM files in that directory.[/quote]

Thanks for links, I'll try them and later I will report what I found.

Have a nice day!

Will do. I am not sure where these folders have disappeared to. I have not knowingly unmounted any folders. My own mailbox has many more, I have discovered. Fortunately for me I have both mailbox folders backed up from about 3 months ago, on a usb key, so will have those files in there unless they went long before.

How will I determine whether folders have the same internal identifier?

So, I replace the pmm and pmi files into the folders, and remove the related 'name_unavailable lines in the hierarch.pm?

Thanks again.

Hi Thomas,

 Thanks for the reply...

[quote user="Thomas R. Stephenson"]

I see nothing wrong with the hierarch.pm file and the only thing i can tell you to do is upgrade your old v4.21c to v4.41. 

[/quote]

I tried v4.41 a long time ago.  I had a number of problems with it.  That's when I went back to v4.21c.

I'd tell you to go to PB1 but it does not really work as yet on Win98 do to resource limitations.  In addition, if your a-v software is doing an on-open a-v check of files in the PMail mail directories this can also cause folder index correption when PMail and the a-v software fight over file access.  Exclude all PMail directories you see in Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info from on-access scanning.  Turn off PMail when doing a whole drive a-v scan.

If I turn off CA antivirus for those files what is going to catch the viruses coming in through email?

 

Thank you,

No you are not dense. I was.

 

Your can order a sorting by dates, but your problem is the position of the scrolling bar, and the first lines you see when the folder is opened. I understand now.

Thank you for y our valuable input. Unfortunately Verizon can't seem to figure out what they need. Not only that but my inccoming mail to Pegasus is coming non stop. Same messages over  and over and overagian. I have had over 2000 alreadyy this morning. RCN says the only thing they can do is to stop the forwarding to Verizon and have me get webmail each time. any ideas on this. Sometimes saving a few dollars comes back to bite one in the butt!1

And stopping the forwarding from RCN to Verizon didnt stop the multiple non stop emails to Pegasus. Still they go on. Maybe I just have to ditch Pegasus

I addressed this topic, and offered what I use as a solution, in this thread:

http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/23776.aspx

I do this on two PCs, so it should work for others. I'd be curious to find out!

Pegasus is the only program on your PC that shows this problem? Is Windows set to use tiny fonts?

Do you have the font size within the body of the message set very small? The To field seems to use a different or smaller setting.

Finally, what about the font sizes for the list of folders and the message lists? Are they smaller than usual? Check by telling us the settings when you choose Fonts from the Folders menu.

Thank you, that helps, I think I can handle it now. It also helped when my ISP admitted they hadn't completed the assignment of new address correctly :-(   and now that is fixed too.

Thanks again. Ted

[quote user="aquila"]Is there any update on this? Am I missing some patch or add-ons?[/quote]

No.

Right-click on the IMAP 'New or unread mail' and assign the general rule set by clicking on 'Attach folder-open filter set'.  Now when you click on the IMAP new mail folder, the filter rules will be applied automatically.  (If you are using preview mode, be aware that a 'folder-close' set only triggers if you open the folder in a new window and then close it.)

 [/quote]

 

In addition to quoted - for me the workaround was to manually edit the generic ruleset (rule*.pmc file - one have to locate the correct one) and copy the contents of new mail filter rules (Winrules.pmc). It is true that the filter is not applied while the IMAP stays open. 

Similar problem is associated with read mail that is supposed to be moved to default mailbox (aka Main) - this does not work with IMAP (or I do not know how to put this into work). The workaround is to add additional rule that moves read mail to Main as the very last rule in the generic ruleset that is associated with folder open.

I have a user who uses Pegasus Mail 4.4.

The use copies the whole Winpmail directory to a server as a backup.

The user deleted some folders in Pegasus but would like  to know if he can retrieve the Pegasus folders from the server where he copied the local winpmail directory.

The user can use "Add mailbox to list" to see the folders on the server and copy the messages (not the folder) back to the main mailbox.  There are some limitations here.  PMail can't have two folders with the same internal name in the folder listing and since these are copies of the original mailbox there will be problems. You can use this utility to change the internal names and move then to a local directory and then add that directory to the listing.

PMRestArch - Pegasus Mail Restore Mail Folder Archives:
http://www.lexacorp.com.pg

Usage:
PMRestArch SourceDir DestinationDir

Description:
Pegasus Mail cannot display two mail folders with the same internal ID even if they are in separate mailboxes. Mail folders also have to be Read-Write.
      
This causes problems when trying to view mail folders which have been archived by copying them to backup media.

This utility:

1.  Copies all .PMM and .PMI files in the source directory to
    the destination directory and renames them as BAKxxxxx.PMM
    and BAKxxxx.PMI.

2.  Ensures that the resulting file is Read/Write.

3.  Creates a different internal unique ID for each file.

Once you have run this program to restore archived folders to a directory you can attach that directory using the Pegasus Mail 'Add mailbox to list' option and access the archived folders in this new mailbox.


 

Please Advise.

Thanks,

Denny

Yes, use some sort of removable media like a USB device to copy the mail between the systems.

Here is a method of archiving files to the directory "Archive" on the local
hard drive.  This same procedure will work for any read/write drive. 

1.  Open the folder listing.  Go to the menu "Folders" next to "Tools".

2.  Use  "Add mailbox to list", enter C:\Archive as the path, Archive as
    the name.

3.  Add a folder to the mailbox called "Archive", the name is not
    important.  You can also just use the New mail folder on the disk but
    this storage is not as efficient since each message is stored
    separately. 

4.  Move the messages to this folder on the disk drive. 


There are some operational limitations here:

A.  Of course the size of this mailbox is limited by the size of
    the disk.

B.  Don't just drag an existing folder (or tray) from "My Mailbox"
    to the floppy drive mailbox or from the floppy to the "My
    Mailbox". It *appears* to work, but actually doesn't. The
    folder won't be moved to the floppy.  This limitation is being
    worked.

You can then do the same thing on the receiving system to restore the data to the desktop system.

Thank you for the input, and I apologize for the long delay in my reply. 

In my case I also could not Telnet into the server, but because I could use a web-based tool I knew the server was accessible.

It took a while, but the problem turned out to be a configuration change way up the corporate food chain. Once that was undone, the POP access was restored.

Thank you again for the assistance.

You can download the file from MS.

Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) is a Help program that has been included with Microsoft Windows versions starting with the Microsoft Windows 3.1 operating system. However, the Windows Help program has not had a major update for many releases and no longer meets Microsoft's standards. Therefore, starting with the release of Windows Vista, the Windows Help program will not ship as a feature of Windows nor can Pegasus Mail add this to its program. If you want to view 32-bit .hlp files, you must download and install the program (WinHlp32.exe) from the Microsoft Download Center.[/quote]

That file works on Vista, but as I said in my previous message, it fails on Windows 7 beta. Otherwise Pegasus Mail installs and works OK on Windows 7 beta.

[quote user="Thomas R. Stephenson"]

Nothing.  The move mailbox does not work in any v4 until v4.5 PB1.  That said it is not moving the new mail directory it only moves the home mail directory.  To set the new mail directory you need to run pconfig.exe from the WinPMail program directory.[/quote]

Thanks. That did what was needed.

Hi,

 

When I copy or move an email to one of my folders, it appears to go OK, but when I open that folder and open the email it shows:

 

This message contains binary or non-textual data that cannot be previewed within Pegasus Mail.

   Filename:   Unknown

You can work with this file in the message reader's 'Attachments' page.

and any attachment that was on the original is gone.

 

I have reindexed the folder and it removes all the newer messages I have put in it in the past few weeks...all of which were doing as described above. The ones that are older and still in the folder after reindexing are OK. Any new ones I move or copy to that folder are as described above and go away when reindexed again. Please help. 

[quote user="cynist"]What is the difference between direct and indirect modes?

In the direct mode Mercury/32 and Pegasus mail both have the same mailbox directory and mail is sent via the Mercury queue; in the indirect mode the mail is accessed  via POP3 or IMAP4 via MercuryP or MercuryI and mail is sent via the built-in mailer to MercuryS.

When does the passwords that are inputed into the usernames utilized?[/quote]

POP3 and IMAP4 access and maybe the user authorization for sending via SMTP.
