Hi everyone,

I have 2 identities : admin and neos, the first I never use, the second is my main.

Recently I've had my first laptop, so I copied the identities files from my stationary pc to my laptop and from my laptop to my pc, so that i keep the two synchronised.

It has worked perfectly well during 3 months but now I can't open the neos identity neither in the pc or the laptop. Meanwhile, the admin identity works perfectly well. I have no error message, only "this program doesn't respond" when I right-click "close"

Pegasus seems to crash when opening the new mail folder, just after having logged in. I changed the Pegasus.ini files so what "Open new mail folder at startup"= N but it still tries to open new mails at startup.

I must say I have a few "mail filtering rules" activated at different moments, when downloading mails and when opening folders. Actually, the very last time I succeeded in using the neos identity, it crashed when it was filtering new mails (20 or so).

 I welcome everyone !

Many thanks

p.s :  sorry for my broken english, I'm a poor frenchy :-)

Did you synchronize the new mail files as well on both the laptop and pc. Most likely there is a message that is corrupt and prebvents Pegasua Mail from opening.

- Move all *.cnm files to a save place out of the New Mail Directory
- restart Pegasus Mail
- Move the files back in, one at the time. The one that crashes Pegasus Mail is the problem and should be deleted.

Thank you every so much for solving the problem. It was indeed the issue of the NVIDIA NForce 4 chipset. I had to install the customisation utility in order to turn off "checksum offload" but doing so worked! I would never in a million years have thought of such an obscure thing without help, so many thanks again.

Probably should use v4.51

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 and restore on the other end as well.

3.  Restore this to the new computer.  


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.

[quote user="Peter Strömblad"]Thanks have read it now. Text must be somewhat updated as it contains some recent news.[/quote]

Your are right. It is the original article from 2005, but it was set into the web-mail/freemail content.

Hello! [quote user="Claudio Chehébar"] sometimes, I have problems with message formats. I write a message (using the option Rich Text), and a) in some few cases the receiver sees strange signs interspersed with the words, and b) more often, when somebody makes a reply to me including my text, it comes with all those strange (format) signs [/quote]
Is there any pattern to this behaviour as far as the strange characters themselves are concerned? For example: Does it happen when you have written a message in a certain language (e.g. only in a French-speaking message or so)? Or are certain characters or letters involved (e.g. the EUR-character or German umlauts)?

Can you tell us what caharcter set you have chosen for outgoing messages? Go to "Tools" | "Options" | "General settings" | "Advanced settings" where you can define the "Default MIME character set". (You can read the help file if you want more information on the settings of the character set.)
The setting of "Default MIME character set" is one of those settings you can define separately for each of your identites. So if you have several identites, you should check that setting for each identity.

Is MIME turned on? See at "Tools" | "Options" | "Outgoing mail" | "Messages and replies" -> "Use MIME features" should be turned on (which is highly recommended).

Does it happen only for certain receivers?

These questions may not provide the ideal solution now, but I hope they can narrow the problem, hence make it easier to find the solution.

Many thanks.

Thank you very much that answers my question.

Might as well raise my pet peeves in this thread:

1. When attaching an HTML file, I have to remember to change the encoding to "ASCII file", otherwise it arrives looking like gibberish. Why can't this be done automatically (or can it - do I just change the file association)?

 Just change the file type to HTML-text and/or change the filetype.pm in the program directory to do this for you in "Let the program decide"  FWIW, what version are you using?  This should be a default.
 

2. When forwarding without edit (redirect or "bounce"), all is well. Forwarding with edit, however, adds phantom "attachments" (such as plain text, html) which I presume are different formats of my message. Many recipients are confused, writing back saying "I couldn't open your attachments". I've fiddled with "no styling" and "no rich text" or whatever, to no avail. Is it just me??

 Don't forward the attachments as well and this will not happen.  When you are forwarding with the attachments then remove the one that you do not want.
 

Thanks in advance.

Well, as usual, you have saved me. My question #1 obviously relates to an ancient version, hence I've just automatically been making the same manual change for years. I didn't even think to check that the default had been corrected.

As for question #2, it seems much too simple to be correct - but of course it is.

Thank you as always...

[quote user="David Harris"]I see this from time to time, but am not sure quite why it happens, nor how to fix it.

I'll note it as something to revisit next time I'm working on the frame window code.

The simple strategy mentioned in  KB135788 has always worked for me.

I thought I'd add-- program closure takes about 30 seconds.

Thank you for the response. Might be it would be optimum if one could replace the From: field by the To: field or add the To: field for selected folders.

I got it.  It needed "32-bit model = 1".  Thanks anyway.

We are running Windows 98 (unfortunately) and Novel client 3.1.0.0

Todays a new problem showedup and I can not move envelopes into folder either by dragging them nor using the move button.

I posted the initial post in "Pegasus doesn't close file system handles" with no fuss.  Today I can't reply to a post in that thread.  I'm told this forum is moderated.  Is that so?

Moderators do keep an eye on the threads but there is no posting limitation in the technical support forums. There is in the FAQ forums though IIRC.

thanks to all who responded to my post...problem now fixed!!  Thanks again!

We've been using the excellent PDFcreator application (for Windows):

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ 

Having investigated further, it appears that search will not work unless the Recent Search Results folder is visible in the folder list. If it is a sub-folder and the main folder is closed, search will not work. (Version 4.41 (Win 32))

Any comments? 

I'm going to escalate this back up to a bug, because I've found that it re-occurs in a reproducible circumstance.  From the New Mail folder, select a message and then select MOVE.  From the Folders window that pops up, insert a NEW folder name and then select that folder so that the message will be moved into it.

You will now find that your newfound folder will also stop the down arrow from traversing the  list of folders.  At least until one touches the folder as indicated above. 

This is really quite an annoyance to somebody who uses the keyboard to great advantage.
 

[quote user="David Harris"][quote user="vefatica"]

There's a folder, "Summer07", on my desktop (files for a course I'm teaching).  I wanted to rename the folder.  Windows XP wouldn't let me because an application was using the folder.  Investigation showed Pegasus Mail had 4 open handles to that folder.

[/quote]

There are two separate and distinct problems here. The first is Windows itself: when you call GetOpenFileName, a side-effect of selecting a file is to change the current working directory to the one containing the selected file. As long as any application has a directory selected as its working directory, no other application can rename or delete that directory. It's probably possible to work around this problem (I've made a note to check it out).

The other problem is more complicated. The Borland runtime libraries (from the ageing compiler used to compile v4.41) create a handle to a directory when I do a directory contents scan, and cannot be told to release that handle. The problem is to do with the legacy "findfirst" and "findnext" routines, which date from DOS times and which don't have a matching "endfind" command to terminate the scan. As a result, the RTL has to do some calisthenics - essentially, it tries to "guess" when the directory handle is no longer required and doesn't release it until then. It's most unsatisfactory, and has other side-effects as well. It's also totally outside my control in that version of the code.

As part of the move to Visual C, I had to rework these routines from scratch, so this problem no longer occurs in the current builds of the program. This means you can expect it to be fixed in the next update.

Thanks for the in-depth reply.  I didn't know GetOpenFileName() did that (it's not very nice).  I've used GOFN() but was never bitten by it.  And I had wondered about the status of the move to VC.
