My only guess here is something, like anti-virus software, is interfering with WinPMail. The CNM file is put into the new mail directory but then deleted by the anti-virus software. Turn it off. If he need to check his mail for viruses then use something like VirScan by Martin Ireland. See the downloads area for details.
That said, if you were using Mercury/32 to get the mail for the users then the users would not have to be using any sort of POP3 downloads. You could also use Clamwall, Spamhalter/POPFileD and/or Greywall to keep the spam/viruses out of the users mailboxes as well. Increase user effeciency quite a bit as well.

I assume you mean FOL*.PMM these should also have an associated PMI folder and should probably be moved to the current mail directory when WinPMail is NOT running.
> NEWCACHE.PM > CACHE.PM
The two can be deleted.
> STATE.PMJ > HIERARCH.PM
Probably delete these as well since they do not relate to the current folder structure.
Checkout Han v.d. Bogaerde's Pegasus mail Links at http://www.vandenbogaerde.net/pegasusmail/ He has provided a lot of information on Pegasus Mail for Windows including a complete listing of the files and file extensions used by Pegasus Mail.

[quote user="Thomas R. Stephenson"]If your new mail folder contains more than 750 messages, Pegasus Mail will stop doing automatic updates of the folder for performance reasons, and will check for new mail in your new mail folder less frequently.[/quote]
Ahhh! That's it. Thank you very much. Apologies for not looking in Help -- seemed more like something broken than something I wasn't understanding. Will check there further in the future.
Probably if you are reading the actual RFC 2822 that is presented there. There are a couple of entries that I spotted immediately though that simplified the RFC to the point that the answer was wrong.
The optional html viewer is called Bearhtml and fully supports downloading of remote graphics, as well as message inline graphics files.
If you have not already done so, I suggest you download Bearhtml, either from this site (download section) for the current production version of Bearhtml, or visit my personal website at http://www3.telus.net/public/irelam/ for the most recent beta versions.
-- I know there are these things called "Identities" but I don't understand them

I recall having the same problem and feel that Help and the manual lack a clear description of how they basically work.
When you create a new identity (Tools/Identities) you are asked which identity you want to base it on - it will be <default> if you don't already have any named identities. At the point the settings for the new identity are identical to those of the one you based it on, however, when you make changes to your settings (e.g. Internet options), they only apply to the current identity. With one identity you could be billbloggs@bullshit.com and another dickehead@happy.org and you can set up your POP & SMTP definitions for each of them.
For my main (default) identity I don't use list banding (Tools/Options/User interface/List displays) but for others I do (with different colours for each) so it's immediately apparent that I'm currently a non-default identity.
Message 2. The email forwarded back to me by our secretary. Again with
raw headers but with email addresses and domains obscured with
"[removed]" manually put in.
How is she actually forwarding the mail? The sample you provided looks like she just pasted the raw message into her editor. When I copied this and saved this as a CNM file it becomes obvious she is not doing a normal forward (i.e. bounce) where the messages is just redirected to another user. I do not have access to Groupwise and this really looks like a Groupwise problem.
Hi Martin, I forwarded the email to you along with a message but a problem might have occured. I'll forward it again without the message, in case the forwarding didn't get through.
Not sure what you are trying to do is possible since these are stored in the pmail.ini and state.pmj. That said if you only sync the PMM, PMI, PMR and PM! files the only thing that you would be working with is folders and address books.
Thanks for the pointer - but it turned out not to be quite that simple! When I disonnected from the network, mails opened instantly. Reconnected, and set the default to print to file and that also worked. The original default printer was on the desktop, hardwired to the network in the office. I had installed the latest printer driver last week, and when I rebooted there was a problem with a missing dll. Didn't affect the local printing, but remote printing from my laptop is delayed - as was opening mails! How weird. But many thanks. Need to sort out printer driver. Didn't think pmail could be hacked that easy - that's why I use it!
