As of June 7, Pegasus no longer downloads my gmail. Is this the authentication change? OAUTH2?


Worked fine as of yesterday. Help, please!


Tried it hours ago and then a few minutes ago at two different email addresses - similar messages result.


Here is what Pegasus shows:
14:45:22.944: --- 7 Jun 2022, 14:45:22.944 ---
14:45:22.944: Connect to 'pop.gmail.com', timeout 30 seconds.

George uses Wine posted Jul 16 '22 at 8:58 pm

I was happily using Pegasus Mail 4.73 on Wine on Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia without any problems at all.


Then a Wine upgrade (to 7.13) arrived. I haven't recently had problems with Wine upgrades so I happily let it do its business. Hindsight says different!


The scroll bars wouldn't work, any of them. No problem with the folders box as the mouse wheel still worked. Similarly with the list of emails. Problem with the message box, as for ages the mouse wheel hasn't worked for fancy formatted messages, so losing working scroll bars there is a bit of an issue. Sadly most people nowadays don't understand that email is intended to be a plain text system.


Knowing that I'd get short shrift on a Wine forum unless I was using entirely the latest of everything, I "upgraded" to Pegasus Mail 4.80. All within the new Wine. And now it won't start at all!


Am I alone, or is this a fault common to others?
If others have fought their way out of this, any tips to pass on?


Many thanks for your time and help.

Hi, I've used Pegasus Mail from its first introduction and thought knew all its quirks, particularly when changing PCs or moving mail folders to a laptop.


I'm running a fresh install v4.73 on Win7_64. but because i want my mail folders secure I've installed it on a Veracrypt encrypted drive. Pmail opens and runs to its default setup folders.


However, I have a working install with a large mailbox going back years which I want to migrate to the new installation, then prune the folders for only one year of previous mail.


I copied the MAIL folder to the new install and I'm met with a window:


User name, please "In order to access your mailbox you must enter your Pegasus mail username. Please type it below"


I'm assuming this is coming from pmail not Windows, but what is it? I've never encountered a mailbox security access message before and I don't know what Username it's looking for or where I can find it?


Help appreciated - Thanks

A few months back, I switched PC's, from a Windows 8.1 to a Windows 10 machine, and downloaded the latest pmail. I set it to run maximized, and dragged a copy of that icon into my bottom tray.


Since then, it's been driving me mad, because it will not stay maximized, when I click another program and come back.

(PM v. 4.80) I have made a distribution list and I want to send an email but PM doesn't.
The To: field shows the correct distribution list: "@C:\Pmail\LIST2F5A.PML". After pressing Send the status bar shows "Message was sent successfully." The Queue Manager stays empty and the mail appears in the Copy-to-self folder immediately. Not anyone in the list receives the mail. It doesn't work for none of my accounts at different providers.
How can I solve this?

Just upgraded to 4.80 from 4.73 and immediately encountered two issues.
Warning that mailbox is locked on launch - I continue.
Then it pops up the "Welcome to Pegasus Mail 4.80 ... detected that you have previously used an older version..." and I can not click out of that. The popup is dead, and I can not lick Continue.
Is there a way to avoid the popup?


Oh, and I got it working on a second install, but can't for the life of me get it to recognise the existing folders that I copied from the original. What .cfg or .ini do I need to throw in there to get all my original settings?

One folder now appears at the bottom of my folder list with its name corrupted to a string of capital I with grave accent. I cannot rename or fix it. (It actually occurs twice) When I click on it I can see the list of contents, as with any folder, and a correct count, and when I right-click I can see the folder information and the actual filname (FOL...--both PMM and PMI are there). I tried to reindex it, but that emptied the folder (I restored it from the backup). How can I return it to safe use?

Hi,


since the update to 4.8.1028 I have two problems with copying/pasting text:


  1. When I paste rich text into a mail (for example a simple table from excel), Pegasus Mail sometimes crashes. Not everytime and not reproducible with the same text.

  2. When I use IE renderer, copy some text out of a html styled mail and try to paste it into MS word or Outlook calendar, nothing is inserted at all. But it still works with notepad or in plain text form fields in outlook.


Thanks for having an eye on it!

I am a loooong-time Pmail user and just installed PMail 4.80 on a new laptop. I'm noticing a change in the use of the dictionary when I run spell checker (which I do on every outgoing message -- great feature). In past versions, if a frequently used word (like my first name, Gislin) was flagged as misspelled, I simply clicked on "Add" and the word was never flagged again.
Not so in 4.80, where none of the words i have been trying to Add today (several dozen) seems to have "stuck." Clearly, something changed, and not for the better.
Does anyone else have the same experience?

I have a lot of folders in a large heirarchy. I seem to have dragged a folder to an unkown position in the heirarchy. I know it's still there because I can search for and find emails that are in the folder. How can I find where the folder is in the heirarchy so I can put it back where it belongs?

Hi! I run PMail since the very beginning therefore many many folders are to be openend whilst every start.


Therefore every start takes so many time, up to 10 minutes, even on a top speed windows office computer.


The folders are saved on my network server, it's 1GBit network so also quite fast.


Any idea how to speed up the start?


Bye


Andy

Just a question on PM5, will it have a better support for high resolution displays?


At the moment I work with compatibility mode and modification of DPI to have PM working on 4k resolution. Otherwise without that the font of the menu and folders are nearly not readable.


I hope this will change with next version and that it will have never technology for the user interface.
