[quote user="aligregory"]I made the change to the defualt user and to the alias. Still does not work I'm afraid. Do you think that my Daemon process could be causing the problem as it fires when a new mail is received as well?[/quote]  Of course, you should not be running your daemon at all until you are sure the system works.

[quote user="blm03"]I'm not getting an error message at all.  I says it is sending it.  However, the mail is not showing up in the Gmail account.  It did show up in the SBC Yahoo account, so I know it worked.
[/quote] If there is no message at all then you are probably getting caught in some sort of spam trap.  Also there is nothing that can be done to really help you either without something to work with.

I had to change my cmdline to: cmdline=c:\progra~1\grisoft\avg7\avgscan.exe "%f" /ARC /NOBOOT /NOMEM

the /SE was causing an error as well.  I don't think I have a unique setup and installed with the defaults.

I got it to work :)

Did you ever figure this one out?

I am having the same issue with IMAP to GMail...

It works totally fine under windows XP, but when I try it under linux (using WINE), I get this error. I have tried all the same things you tried with no luck)

OK - here is my setup:

DL380 G1 NW6.5 SP 6 servers (two file, print, home directories, Pegasus Mail, LDAP, DNS, DHCP and so on), one ZENworks 6.5, one BorderManager 3.8. Amazing how well NetWare runs on a PIII 933 with 3GB of RAM - try and do that with a M$ server ;-). HP Procurve 4000m, 2424m, 1600m and Extreme Networks 14001 switches with several different subnets.

Workstations of both W2K SP5 (yes 4 with the rollup) and XP SP2 running the 4.91 SP3 Novell client. Most 100Mb - some wireless. Some are IP only, some IP + IPX all have LDAP enabled.

Three different network shared installs of Pegasus Mail (two on one file & print server, on on the other f&p). Mercury/32 running on an nLite version of W2K Pro inside a VMWare Workstation 4.5 virtual machine. Mercury/32 modules S.P,E,D,X,I with Clamwall + Sanesecurity and Spamhalter. Users can access local mail via IMAP using mail2web.com or with "smart phones" / PDAs.

Since I am not "POP" ing my ISP with Pegasus Mail (Mercury does check every 5 minutes - backup MX) my Pegasus Mail config is somewhat different. I have quite a few things modded with respect to the way Pegasus Mail runs and what users can [not] change.

A couple thoughts...

Is the troublesome workstation on the exact same client SP level as the rest i.e. 4.91.3.20061109 (yes all the numbers at the end do matter)?

Check the Novell client settings against a "working" workstation - have any settings been changed or updated?

Try uninstalling / reinstalling the Novell client on the problematic computer (see a pattern here? - I've been bitten numerous times with Novell client problems). Find a release that works for you and stick with it until there is a newer feature that you just can't live without is my recommendation.  

Is SLP setup, and fully functional? If not - I strongly urge you to configure it or resolve any issues it may have before spending much time on other things.

Could the WSOCK32 setting in Pegasus Mail have anything to do with your problem? I have mine set to "on demand only" - don't know if this even matters...

What is the flow control setting of the clients and switch ports?

You could easily setup Mercury/32 to POP and deliver mail for you in a VM... not something to offer as a resolution to your problem but it does give you much greater flexability and control if so desired...

Do you know of the school?

Check your PM for additional info...

Thanks Han,

That is what I wanted to hear. 

Greetings

Grateful thanks. Ticked the box and Pegasus opens just like I wanted it to!.

Thanks

The folder activated on closing is generally the deleted messages folder and usually you can fix this by manually deleting the deleted messages folder before exiting.

1.  Move all the messages you want to save to a temp folder and
    delete all the messages in the original folder.

2.  Use the right click "recover deleted space" to remove all
    messages from the folder.

3.  If step 2 works then simply move all of the messages from the
    temp folder back to the original folder and delete the temp
    folder.

4.  If step 2 fails then delete the original folder and rename the
    temp folder to match the original name.  Reset the filters
    pointing to this folder.

One thing you can do to prevent this from reoccurring is to make sure AVG is not automatically scanning all files in the Pegasus Mail directories.  Interference from the anti-virus autoprotect is the most common reason for folder corruption.

I use separate users for accounts that I want separate.  In many cases I use the "Add mailbox to list" to access these separate users and then set a separate identity for the inbox so replys and forwards all come from this identity.  Others I simply select the identity when sending the message.

I really do not use separate SMTP host all that much since I send via Mercury/32 anyway.  If I am using the built-in mailer though I select the identity I want to use and then use Tools | Internet options to setup the email address and smtp host I want to use for sending.

Beware.

Starting from rev 3 I think (or was it 4?), David started to use a previously unused field for timezone data.

If you use the old version just to rename folder files, that may be safe, but I wouldn't let a 2.x PM release do anything else with my mailbox!

Just my $0.02!

Hello Thomas, Phons, Thank you for your interest.

The stationery, (a reusable saved message as draft) allows you to add an image as background or inside the message easily. Do not know how to do this with a template and looks like the template only supports bmps at the help window not the message itself; I have to read more about templates.

I will review the http://www.pegasusmail.nl/ site and check the tips (template) section.

Thank you, Juan Manuel

No problem, but I would need a sample message to confirm the actual headers of the message.

Well XML, ie ODT, sort of works in that you can enter stuff etc.

 Normally formatted documents from Open Office or even Word actually work if you just cut and paste, I am thinking of things like text collour embedded pictures, tables etc.   However the one we are playing with is a moderately complicated fill form which has been repeatedly modified over the years and that does not work perfectly.

 Once we have the basic system running I might try to regenerate the form cleanly in Open Office, I suspect that might actually work.

 I will try to remeber to let you guys know if I can make this perform.
 

Thanks for the advice.  It sent me looking down the right path (the fonts).

The solution that worked was to go your desktop properties->Settings->Advanced and choose a custom font size (I used 75%)...it fixed it immediately, but I rebooted switched back to the default and rebooted again...

no more problems.

Please see if this support document helps:

Seems to work just like spam, with a lazy html tag.

This won't work if you are offline, or if you use a proper mail client that blocks external http requests (like Pegasus [:)], or just about everything now).

It looks like it inserts itself as an outgoing mail proxy between the client and the SMTP server and inserts the tracking tag and advertising spam into your mail.

I wouldn't touch this with YOUR bargepole [:D].

What is wrong with 'requesting a read reciept'?

Here is another thread about MSGTAG.

http://groups.google.co.nz/group/alt.comp.freeware/browse_thread/thread/3741d50cb15154b2/aa0c851059bf2501?hl=en&lnk=st&q=MSGTAG#aa0c851059bf2501 

That's a realy good review, he'll go crazy when version 5 will be available ;-)

> Having tried Pegasus, Is there a way to migrate from Outlook to Pegasus and carry over all Messages, Contacts, etc.?

For the Outlook Express folders try DbxConv. This is a utility which is
designed to convert Mail (not news) folders from Outlook Express DBX
folders to standard MBX files importable by almost any mail program.  
Pegasus Mail can read these *.MBX files directly, you simply point at the
directory containing the MBX files using the "Add mailbox to list".
http://people.freenet.de/ukrebs/dbxconv.html

For the Outlook folder there is a utility called PM2MSN32.exe from Martin
Ireland that can convert the Outlook folders to Pegasus Mail message files.   
PM2MSM32 is a specialized 32bit Mapi client that interfaces directly with
Microsoft MsExchange/Outlook (or any other Mapi mail server).  It extracts
the content of the InBox to individual text files that can be imported to other
mail systems such as Pegasus Mail.  In the case of Pegasus Mail it puts
CNM files into the new mail directory and then you can put these into a
separate folder.  http://www3.telus.net/public/irelam/
