[quote user="chicot"]After 11 years of use Pegasus mail is asking me for my username before it boots up! Can someone please explain this new phenomenom.[/quote]

I assume yuo cannot get it started at all.  This normally happens when you run the program and it cannot even find the mail directory specified in pmail.cfg.  Have you changed anything recently?  You can use pconfig.exe to verify where WinPMail is looking for the new mail directory.

Anne,

Try Vincent Fatica's XClose32 plugin. Among other useful things, it will force Pegasus to the foreground when you double click the tray icon.

This plugin is not in the plugin area. Links to it are buried in the http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/3392.aspx thread.

There is one thing this plugin will not do. Many computers have a special key assigned to open the email client. Pegasus will not grab focus when opened/restored that way.

HTH,

Hello there,

I checked and we are using the latest mstsc file for windows 2000. However, I found some more details about the problem. The flashing starts when typing a new mail and becomes even more frantic when more mails are opened in a separate window.

Thank you!!

There is a filter that allows you to print the message and if your fax system has a printer interface and you set that as the default in WinPMail then this should work.  You can also set the option to "Run a program" and this forwards the message to the program.  The program can of course do anything you want it to do as long as you are willing to write a program.

The filters can key on most anything in the message headers or body to cause a selective action. 

I use WinXP and Pegasus 4.41 without the cursor/focus problem you experience.

This may be a long shot. In Tools |  Options... | User interface | Reporting/logging  there is a checkbox controlling a "Telltale" notification about new email. Perhaps the telltale window steals focus from the active window? Unless there is a problem with the POP3 connection (in which case you

get an error dialog) the new mail notification would be a prime suspect. This is just my best guess, though, because I don't use the telltale window myself.

There's another ongoing thread about the font problem in Vista; I think maybe you already posted there.

Many thanks Thomas for your useful feedback!
Will explore your suggestions..

It will cause some inefficiencies in your transmission of data through the network/internet.

By the way, if the problem is in fact the NVidia NForce4 one that Thomas mentioned, you will likely see this error re-occur... it will be dependent on the message size being sent.

It is hard for me to believe the an MTU of 750 is proper for your setup.

You can figure out how to test it and optimize it for yourself using ping.

See the following for details:

I am just trying to follow along here, it would seem that the PMI file is an index and if it was corrupted you are suggesting that a blank index be copied into the folder and renamed so that the files can be re indexed again.  Is that about right ?

Nope, in this case the PMI folder was completely missing so the folder was not showing at all.  A corrupt index can usually be fixed via a folder right click "Reindex  folder" to rebuild the PMI from the messages in the PMM file.

This thread might help

Kindly send me a copy of a problematic message (email: irelam@telus.net)  or send me a screenshot of what you are seeing.

It would be useful to tell if the message is badly formatted.

[quote user="mjgdunne"]Hi i have just downloaded pegasus mail but i cannot set up my email accounts, i was told to go to tools, internet options but i do not know what details to put in. Any help would be appreciated.[/quote]

My not be able to use Pegasus Mail directly with either of these web mail systems.  Hotmail does not do plain POP3/IMAP4, the free yahoo does not either.  You might want to try MrPostman.

MrPostman is a java program that allows you to access Yahoo Mail, Hotmail and other
webmail services directly from your favorite mail client. 

It converts the web pages of your favorite webmail provider to e-mails and provides the
standard POP interface to your mail client (e.g. Outlook Express, Netscape or Mozilla Mail,
Thunderbird, Pegasus Mail). 

MrPostman is Free Software, released under the terms of the GNU Public License.

Currently supported webmail providers:

    * Hotmail
    * mail.com
    * Yahoo
    * gmail (Google mail)
    * indiatimes.com
    * juno
    * rediffmail
    * Gossamer mail
    * Outlook Web Access (Exchange 5.5)
    * Outlook Web Access 2003

Thomas,

Wonderful - it works - thank you very much.
 

There is no spec for the hierarch.pm, it's not required since yuor not supposed to be working with it.  ;-)

thanks Thomas.

appreciate your quick response.

does this mean that even a Pegasus xtension could not do it?

I would suspect that the only way an extension could do this is to create a tool to add the attachments and I'm not all sure that would be possible.  Most of the file operations are done with windows calls but the actual attachment is not added until you hit the send button.  You could create a User Defined Gateway to do this sort of process and then build you own program to text the total size of the PMX file that was created.  Really all you could do there though is to delete the PMX file and popup some sort of warning.  Way, way more trouble than it's worth.

On a right click, I see the same menu as Thomas.

I would install the Pegasus Mail program files onto the C: drive of the terminal server and then simply copy the PMAIL.CFG file from a user's PC to the terminal server.  They should all be the same, namely pointing to U:\PMAIL\MAIL. Since U: is a mapped drive that is different for each user (e.g. ), it will work perfectly fine as a single-user standalone environment to Pegasus Mail.  No other mailboxes will be viewable to the user in Pegasus Mail.  In setting it up like this, you should confirm that the new mail directory path and home mailbox path are listed in PMAIL.CFG as: U:\PMAIL\MAIL

If needed, you can use the PCONFIG.EXE utility that ships with the PMAIL/DOS product to change the paths as required.  Make sure there is not a "~8" or "~n" at the end of the paths.

[quote user="GSIB"]Thanks.  I am using Netware.   I add users with the PMail Config (P:\Pmail\nconfig.exe).   I have checked user settings, but see no way to change the name.

I do not do NDS.  I use bindery and so I use syscon.exe to change the username.  I just hit F3 when viewing the username to change it.  I suspect that there is something similar in NDS.  

I cannot even fully decode what you have provided using a Bas64 decoder.
