Thomas,

2 things:

1. My Printer def is with default Windows drivers for the HP4L,

2. Is your printer (network) on a Print Server such as LinkSys or NetGear or is it just a share network printer?

Nowadays my printer is a shared printer hooked to one of the systems on the local lan.  At work, my printers were networked and in some cases the default printer was not even in the same state.    My personal default printer though was a HP 4si on one of the corporate print servers (generally these were Windows servers) and the lan being down caused me no problems at all.

I

ask as, if I follow you logic out all the way, I would think the

NetGear drivers could effect this.  But I'm not buying because I've had

same printer and print server for over 10 years, and was not getting

this problem with PMail versions 3.x.  Problem only started when I went

to PMail 4.x versions.  That logic points to a flaw in the PMail.

I doubt this since the way that PMail checks how to display the fonts has not really changed in years, it simply asks the printer driver via a windows call.  The older printer drivers very seldom, if ever, checked to see if the printer was on line  when asked how to display the fonts.  Newer ones, especially HP seem to do this more often.  FWIW, I've never had any experience with a dedicated hardware printer server.

I appreciate that you're not flaming.

I don't follow the Pegasus Mail discussions that much since I'm more like Link than Neo (Matrix) thus I follow more closely the Mercury threads, but I'd like to read up on your case if I may. What are the threads you're referring to?

Thank you so much!  This helped me too - it was driving me nuts.

 I have Pegasus Mail v4.61 running on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

Thanks Greenman,

 

I'll give that a try.

 

I am using Vista now...all is fine except font size in subjewct and to fields are extremely small, and not adjustable?

I used VISTA utility to delete them and they look like this:

0CZc79e6.cnm

Can I restore and read them?

 

 

Marco,
Could it be related to some properties which maybe were accidentally assigned to your "New mail" (inbox) folder (right mouse button) such as "... open filter set" etc.? That's the part I would check. Well, wild guess. Maybe someone else might know more ...
Thomas

THANK YOU.  still don't know what the problem was this time, but i just copied the whole directory over and it works like a charm. 

I don't use any applications as described. I did some searching and it seems to me like you need extra software installed to give a Windows application the always on top feature.

I closed Pegasus and started it again and it behaved the same way. I showed a co-worker the behaviour, closed Pegasus (the same way as the first time) opened it again to show that it remained as always on top and it wasn't always on top any more.

I am guessing it was some odd Windows thing.

Thanks all I have Pegasus working by emptying the queue, Now I have all these PMX etc files in my recylce bin. I had 2 envelopes with all my e-mails saved before the deletes. What are might their names be (they were called messages and old) so I can restore them and recover my old YAHOO e-mails?

The group has been great and patient with a NEWBIE.

Thanks all one last issue I hope.

Help again. No idea how amny screens of these. 

pmm and pmi files are native to Pegasus Mail. Read what I have posted above and follow the link.

I think I need to reinstall BUT I DON"T WANT TO LOSE all the e-mails it has downloaded already. How doers this sound?

Send an email to yourself, then collect it, all within Pegasus. That's the fastest way to test an email client when setting it up.

 
If your message sends alright, your SMTP server (SEND SERVER) is configured correctly. If you can't send mail, the SMTP server is not configured correctly.

Tools > Internet Options > SMTP tab 

Note: There are several options on this menu and no one can tell you what needs to be checked without knowing who your ISP is and other information. There is also an option here to "send mail at once without placing in the queue" which you might want to do if your queue is clogged. There are also controls on the "Security" tab that your ISP might require... including authentication to connect to your mail server... this would be your ISP username and password.  

If you can send the mail okay but can't collect it, your POP3 server (RECEIVE SERVER) is not configured correctly.

Tools > Internet Options > POP3 tab

Also, the General tab (found with the SMTP and POP3 tabs) needs an email address filled in. 

 

 

Excellent!!!! Thank you so much Greenman

......all is well and I appreciate. As mentioned it wasn't major but drove me simply crazy.

Using your instructions the same thing happened until I realized (Duh!) I needed to hit the hit the Apply

box and then File...then exit.

 

Everything super and thank you again.....LOL we need to give you another 2,350 points

Take Care 

 

Maybe I am getting somewhere and my setup is messed up.

I meant to add that there may be controls in Pegasus that do not allow so many messages to be sent at once (because of spammers). So if you have been trying the "send all queued mail" and it hasn't worked, you might have to look into that. I've never tried sending a gazillion messages, so I don't know... but if you just send yourself one email and collect it, you can eliminate your setup as the problem. And send that message without going to queue (as I mentioned to you in another reply).

I think I tried everything. Nothing goes when I try to forward even one message from Pegasus to GMAIL. Can somone help me please.

Just deleting mail and it goes to NOT RESPONDING.

HI i MOVED EVERYTHING TO A NEw DIRECTORY. nOW IT COMES UP EASY. hOWEVER IF i DO MUCH AT ALL i GET NOT RESPONDING. i WANT TO GET EVERYTHING FROM THE NEW DIRECTORY TO gmail E-MAIL. tHAT'S ALL AND i CAN'T DO IT. tHANKS YOU FOR YOUR HELP.
