If also fixed the problem with FileMaker.... Im a happy camper now... thanx. :-)

Hello!

You can have the recipients' addresses suppressed if you edit the settings of the respective Distribution list. Follow these steps:

(1) Open the Distribution lists window, go to the distribution list in question.
(2) Press the "Settings..."-button.
(3) You will find a section titled "List address settings". Amongst others, you can define what the "To:"-entry should look like.
(4) Enter a valid entry there. "valid" means that the entry may have both a short list description (similar to a real name often given in e-mail addresses) and a valid e-mail address (preferably your own one).
(5) Do not forget to press "OK" in order to save the changes.

The main idea of that concept is that the recipients will see the entry you typed in in step (4) - they will not see each others' addresses anymore then.

Some thoughts about step (4):
The entry you may type in there should look similar to the e-mail addresses you enter otherwise. An example: your personal e-mail address entry may look like this:
"Bob Mulder" <bob_mulder@invalid.ocm>
so it contains both your real name (within the quotes) and the actual e-mail address (in brackets). In other words: you have both a human-readable value (what is written within the quotes) and an addressing value (what is written between the brackets). That structure should also be used when you type in an entry for set (4). Such an entry may be:
"Invitation to my birthday" <bob_mulder@invalid.ocm>
In this case, the human-readable part is obviously not a real name, but a short description of the distribution list (here: the people you want to invite to your birthday party). The addressing value is simply your own e-mail address - the recipients know it, of course, so it will do no harm using your own address there.

The help page "Distribution list options" says about that option (the "To:"-value you can define for a Distribution list):

To field (suppressing the list of recipients): Entering an address in this field will force Pegasus Mail to suppress the listing of all the recipients' addresseses in the To: field when you use the list. Instead of showing every member of the list, the To: field will contain only what you enter here. Because of the way Internet mail works, you cannot simply enter any piece of text in this field -- you must enter something which can be legally processed as if it were an address. We recommend that you use the following format to create the contents of this field:

    "(descriptive text)" <(your own address)>

Replace (descriptive text) with a meaningful name for the mailing list, and put your own address where it says (your own address). Recipients will almost always see the descriptive text instead of your address so it will not seem as strange as it sounds. The quote characters around (descriptive text) and the angle bracket characters around (your own address) are vitally important and must be included exactly as shown. It is not possible to suppress the recipient list for MHS mail and this field will be ignored for MHS messages.

Thomas,

Thank you for the help. That worked very well!

Hello!

I Pegasus to an usb stick almost a year ago, and there is something else you should try (in case you haven't find out that yet): there is a very useful tool in Pegasus' Program folder called "wssetup.exe".

Executing that file in every computer you want to use allows you to create desktop icons with the proper configuration
(in my experience, sometimes it fails, so maybe you'll need to correct the path in some computers...)

In my case, it's been working great, so if you have any issues, feel free to contact me.

Good luck,

Julian 

Yep. It was in Admin.  I deleted the largest .cnm files, and I also set the 8000 limit as you suggested.  Thank You

Thank you very much. That does the trick by adding a "sendto Pegasus" option.

Ok I think I see what is happening. This folder is open on more then one computer. If a message is deleted on any one of these computers it will not delete the message even when that copy of pegasus is closed down because other useres are accessing that folder.

This means that this question is really related to Mercury/32 rather than Pegasus.

Is it possible to allow the deleting of messages in this circumstance when the folder is open by more than one client? 

[/quote]

Nope, Mercury/32 IMAP does not support the EXPUNGE command to delete the message on the server when there are multiple connections.  The EXPUNGE command is executed only on the closing of the last connection.

geby, thanks for that information. Unfortunately, Spamhalter daemon (or even a server for mercury/32) is not an option.

#1 Might it be possible to have the wi_sph Pmail plugin use a shared copy anyway?
    While I don't really care about speed, having a separate database for each mailbox does not contribute to good performance either.

#2 Also, can the  wi_sph.ini file be adapted to use mail folder *names*, not just IDs?
    If someone deletes a folder, the ID is invalid even if the folder is recreated (pmail's content control handler will create folders automatically if they do not exist, but the ID will change).

Thanks (and thanks for Spamhalter too! :)

All,

I am writing a script to read a  file containing email addresses and call wsend, but need to invoke a P-Mail template with pre-scripted email content.

How do I do this, I do not even find wsendto anywhere in the manuals.

Thanks!

Hello!

Just guessing: perhaps, MIME-encoding was not turned on. It can be turned on at "Tools" | "Options" | "Outgoing mail" | "Messages and replies" -> "Use MIME features - ON". As far as I know, that option can be set for each identity separately, so you had better check it for all identites just to be sure.

When writing a message, you can toggle the MIME-option for the particular message. At the "Special"-tab of the Message Editor window, you can find the option "Use MIME features in this message for Internet/local mail".

It is highly recommended to turn MIME on for all messages sent. I suggest that the first option I have mentioned is turned on for all identities.

If you want to know about MIME, the Wikipedia-entry at  may be a point to start from.

[quote user="jade"]Go to the program directory and run pconfig.  Select the Standalone

menu and then change the drive letter to match the current drive lterr.

Yes, how do I go to the program directory?

What is the current drive lterr? 

[/quote]

Use "My computer" and/or "File manager", go to the WinPMail program directory.  If you do not know what it is then search for the file pconfig.exe to get the di=rectory name.  The program pconfig.exe must be run from that directory.

The current drive letter will be something like d: or c:, should be obvious from my computer.

Unfortunately, that approach did not work for me.  Could you please

tell me when the revised version of Pegasus Mail that includes the

dedicated reindex command for addressbooks will be / was made available

? Thank you.

If I already have Pegasus open and accidently click twice on a mailto: link in Firefox, Pegasus goes into a loop opening (and closing?) new mail messages.  I have to kill the process or log off to regain control.

In the middle of writing an email, PEGASUS just  disappears, and that will happen 2 or 3 times right after each other.

I redownloaded and re-installed to the same effect.

I have been using PEGASUS for over 10 years, and would hate to have to give it up, can anyone help me. I mistakenly wrote to David some months ago, but was ignored, but the problem is still there.

Any time Pegasus mail "just disappears" then that's the OS shutting down Pegasus Mail because it was talking to something else when it crashed and the OS needs to shut down everything it was talking to to restore order in the system.  This happened in the past with a broken Adobe Reader v7 when WinPMail was trying to attach files to messages.

We really need a lot more specifics here about your system and some sort of detail as to what is happening when it goes away.  Running anything special in the background? 
 

All of a sudden most of the entries in one of my address books are duplicated.

But the information in the duplicates is not the same -- one set is correct and the other

is information from another entry. If I delete one of the duplicates, they both disappear.

Is there a fix for this? Did I do something to cause it? Thanks for any help.

1.  Use Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info and note all the
    directories.  This is the directory structure you want to
    backup.

2.  Use the Windows backup program to backup the entire
    structure. In the multiuser made this means you'll have to
    backup the top level structure to get all the user
    directories. You can simply ZIP these directories to a
    CDROM, network drive, etc. and restore on the other end as well.

3.  Restore this to the new system install.  


Note:

A.  If you are using a CDROM for backup make sure that the
    files did not get marked read only.  Use Explorer and check
    the file properties.

B.  If you changed drive letters then run pconfig.exe and
    change the drive letter of the home and new mail directory
    to match the new location. You also should check the
    Mailbox: line in the *.PND files and make sure it's blank.

C.  If you want to upgrade in the process do it after you transfer
    the files and install it over the old installation using exactly
    the same directory structure and options.

Hi Martin

 Thank you for your adwice.

I found out that I had mixed old and new files when I copied the files from the old installation.

I then removed all the files and made a new copy from the old computer, and now everything is fine, thank you. [:D]

sorry,

just a test,

paragraphs in posting not working ....

Hi again Han,

Please excuse my question earlier; there was no problem. I've been working on some POP3/SMTP settings for my main address, and also this issue with being able to send and receive with my second main address.

Being a little tired, when doing some tests: changing to new identity and sending from my second to my first main address, of course in Copy folder it showed under From header, To: "First address". I expected to see my new address there (the second), but it IS the Copy folder (as every other folder has the header From), so of course it should show To which address.

Sorry to bother.

Back to main issue with IMAP & POP.
