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

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.

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.

> 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/

For the address books use Dawn, created by Boris Zakharin

Dawn 5, created by Boris Zakharin

Dawn works with the following programs:

    * Becky! -- Known to work with versions 2.00.08, 2.21.03
    * Corel WordPerfect Address Book 8.x

    * Juno 2.0 - 5.0 -- Known to work with versions 2.0.11, 4.3.09, 4.3.11, and 5.0.33
    * Mozilla (Seamonkey) -- Known to work with versions 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9.2, 0.9.3, 0.9.7, 1.0,
      1.2, 1.3, 1.6, 1.7
    * Mozilla Thunderbird -- Known to work with version 1.0.2

       6.2, 6.21, 7.0, 7.1 (Netscape 8 does not have an address book)
    * MS Outlook 98 / 2000 / 2002 / 2003
    * Opera -- Known to work with versions 5.1, 5.2, 6.0, 7.0, 7.23, 8.01, 8.02
    * Palm support through Palm Desktop (read only) -- Known to work with versions 3.01, 4.0,
    * Pegasus Mail -- Known to work with version 3.12b, 4.01, 4.12a, 4.21c, 4.51

And finally if cost is not a problem here are a couple of commercial programs to do this  type of conversion.

You can select all of the mail message and then forward them to yourself as a digest. You set a subject that matches and now all of this is in one message.  That said, most of us simply create a folder and put all of the mail on a specific subject/customer/identity into that folder and then attach a matching identity to that folder.

Thanks for the quick replies, guys.

The updated BearHTML solved the crash problem, but neither this nor the switch to native english solved the document left margin switching.

 

However, I found the solution : I had to increase the message width setting in the Preferences from its default 145 mm to a wider setting.

I raised it to 200.

It could have been lower than that, but 200 seemed fine.

 

Best regards!

Merci beaucoup!

François

Thanks for the help. I had dropped to 0 space on this 2 gig partition. I hadn't realized that Pegasus needed to write to the drive when compressing, so the folders wouldn't compress which consumed more space yet which I didn't have. I finally deleted messages directly from the folder panes instead of the message preview pane and made sure I had unchecked the preserve deleted messages until close button. I now have 230 MB free. Problem was caused by some friends who like to send me large videos and photos, easier to delete than threaten an otherwise good friendship. thanks for your help much.

I resolved this yesterday by using a backup copy of the files and inspecting them, vis-a-vis the presumably damaged copies of the corresponding files, with a file comparison tool. I could then manually make the changes hilighted in the change tool. Why would these files become corrupt? I'm so glad I maintain regular multi-version backups!

Thanks Thomas and J

I have opted at the last minute to install Windows XP Pro on a partitioned hard drive on the system as well, to have it able to dual boot. This is just to be able to run hardware that will not have updated drivers, such as my Imacon scanner. I am glad that we did not decide to build as the techs who are constructing it are having a bit of a problem installing it to dual boot on a system with a RAID 0 drive setup as well as other drives. (Don't worry, I know that the RAID 0 is completely unsafe, which is why there are other drives to backup the data. These are just for PS files that I am working on with multiple layers at 16 bit that sometimes exceed 1.4 GB. The captures are 364 MB alone, so it is easy to get up to that size when you add a few adjustment layers.)

I will see about VMWare, thanks, too.

I was having trouble sending  to a IN mail address and I could not send mail without a MHS Overide?

This mean you have not setup a mail queue.  When running standalone yuo need to go to Tools | Internet options and setup the SMTP and general sections at least.

 

I

I went into Options, Basic Settings and ticked

"Ask Netware password at Start-up", the mail went out but now I have been 'locked-out' of my mailbox as it is asking for a Netware Password

 Do you have Netware?  Why did you set this?  You will have to edit the pmail.ini  and change the following line from Y to N.

Require password at startup               = N

which I had not set 1 when I try to change 'user'  ( I have 5 users set-up on mu computer and I can access the other 4 users OK).

Can you advise how I can access this 'user'?

This graphic does not help all that much.  I'd prefer to see the actual raw view of the headers showing the entire receiving process.  The wrapping as shown in the actual message reader is not important;  the data in the RFC 2822 message though is important. FWIW, I get mail from Outlook all the time via Exchange and I've never seen this happen.  I suspect though that there is something in the SMTP sending/receiving process that is breaking the message.  Many of the anti-spam/virus proxies could cause an improperbrak like this as well.

David Harris has implemented ESMTP AUTH CRAM-MD5 for WinPMail, Mercury and Mercury/32.  They do a SMTP authentication in accordance with RFCs 2554 and 2195.  Mercury and Mercury/32 also do the LOGIN and the strange MS AUTH=LOGIN.

Go to File | Network configuration | (Sending) SMTP, edit the SMTP setup, select the "Security" tab and select one of the 3 options for doing SMTP Authorization.

What happens ... No

A similar question ... Save+Edit does save the file and gives same error in Acrobat. Save does save.

I have set... I have set the same

Do you have... I have Adobe 8.1.2 English ans XP SP2

A friend told me to uninstall and install Reader again, to if its help. Reader is working ok, I can in explorer klick on a PDF file and it open without problem, only in PM it does not. That's why i tought that it is a PM problem.
