I didn't know drag-n-drop worked.  Nice surprise. Thanks!

I can't find a way to move a record.

No reindex was needed in my tests (drag, drop, delete original).

Just in case you need a sample of what might have happened: This is what just these days.

Summary

• We have identified several campaigns of

  credentials phishing, likely operated by the same attackers, targeting

  hundreds of individuals spread across the Middle East and North Africa.

• In one campaign, the attackers were particularly going after

  accounts on popular self-described “secure email” services, such as Tutanota and ProtonMail.

• In another campaign, the attackers have been targeting hundreds of

  Google and Yahoo accounts, successfully bypassing common forms of

  two-factor authentication.

yes, that was my first thought so I re-downloaded it in vein. But, some time later I tried again using another windows account. Then the horse with wings icon appeared and the update ran!
Thank you all for the support.

Thank you so much...it is appreciated  :)

I went to the backups and found:

PMAIL\ADMIN\ADDRESS0200.PM!

   "    "     "         ADDRESS0200.PMR

And 5 sets of different FOLO3DC3.PMI and PMM files

This is my last backup on 10/21/2018 before my computer got DOA and had the reformat done at Best Buy "Geek Squad". Thanks a lot for all your time and trouble.

Will any of this work to restore Pegasus?

I think I've been overlooked in this thread, it seems to have died without resolution. Not being ungrateful, just curious....  Thanks.

That worked quite well.

I did two sets. One for the messages in the main folder and one for those in the Copies to Self folder. Everything is now as it should be.

  Thanks!

Here's a tip that might help for some users:

I've been working on this problem for an elderly relative with poor vision, who has used pmail happily for many years and doesn't want to learn a new e-mail program, but struggles with the small fonts on a large monitor.

Hopefully Pegasus Mail version 5 will replace hard-coded bitmapped font sizes with scaleable fonts. In the meantime, if you want to change the display DPI for Pegasus Mail but not for other apps or system displays, you *can* do that in Linux (running pmail in wine) but not, so far as i know, in Windows.

In Linux, run the wine configuration tool from the application menu or by executing "winecfg" from a command line. You can go directly to the "graphics" tap, and set the emulated DPI for all applications run in wine, including pmail (e.g. changing from 96 to 144 dpi in winecfg will make all the hardcoded fonts in pmail and all other wine applications 50% larger) . Thta may be easiest of pmail is the only application you run in wine.

If you use other applications in wine, you can set the emulated DPI specifically for pmail by going to the "applications" tab in winecfg and clicking on "add application". The  set the graphics emulated DPI for pmail only.

Of course you can change the screen resolation in Windows to make pmail more accessible to a user with poor vision. But so far as I can tell, you can't do that just for one application the way you can with an application runing in wine on Linux.

 A user with poor vision may not want to switch to Linux and learn a new OS, but it is a possibility to consider if pmail is a priority.

Thanks Brian! I tried that, rebooted, and it seems to have worked! I just opened 3 PDF's lickety split!

Yay! 

Will post again if it changes, but that seems to have solved it!  

UPDATE 12-19-18: Oops, I spoke prematurely. It just did it again. It may have loaded fast on a couple of documents that were only 1 page each.

But that may tell us something. It's like it's not saving them correctly during the download. Hmmm...

Is there a setting for that?

You can create a search by date across all folders.

Menu Edit | Find Text | Message Age

 This will then create a folder with links to all the messages. If you have the option  set to deleting Link from from a Link folder also deletes original you should be able to do as you wish

Menu Tools | Options | Incoming mail | Folder behaviours  last two check boxes.

Thanks a lot! Worked like a charm!

That worked. Thank you!

I only have the firewall in W7 so I will check. Didn't think about that because I didn't have that issue previously. But thanks for the thought, I'll go look.

The default HTML renderer in current versions is IERenderer which offers configuration settings via its own dialog accessible by its button on Pegasus Mail's main toolbar (usually the rightmost one). The version coming with PM 4.73 provides an option for selecting different font faces and another one for increasing font sizes like browsers do (magnifying pages as a whole). Here's a of how to access it.

Thanks. All seems well now.

We used to use the 'set' command to add it to the path variable but after a while it stopped working on some machines (we don't know why). The Group Policy Preference method has worked flawlessly since that time. I think the key is to set the policy to update which ensures the PMR and PML variables are enforced on each client each time they start.

Thanks a lot for the explanation, Michael. I understood the general issue with Pegasus Mail using the default print driver to display messages but did not realise the full implications of the HTML issue.

This may have to do with CSS3 not supported yet by BearHTML. Use IERenderer instead unless you are running Pegasus Mail under Wine/Linux.

[quote user="petulengro"]Hi, just changed computers, on my old one I could check in-coming mail before selecting to download or mark for deletion. Don't know how to get this to work on new machine. Can anyone help please[/quote]

Pegasus Mail's File menu provides an entry called Selective mail download. Additionally, assuming you did a fresh install of Pegasus Mail, you're likely looking for a toolbar button to do this: Go to Tools => Options  => Toolbars and select POP3 user from the drop down list on this page.

Hi Brian, thanks to your suggestion I checked the google account security settings and Lo! "less secure apps" was off.  I turned it on and all is well. Thanks a lot!

Thanks Brian

I've saved that thread and solution for "next time" as this corruption is not the first to happen to me.

I managed to use a month old backup HIERARCH file and that restored 90% of my tray structure. A bit of moving and shaking and I'm back to OK.

Thanks again for your (and others) advice - much appreciated.

Hi Brian,

Very interesting. Thanks for the hint. I will check whether I could set a system environment variable by using Group Policies of our Windows Domain Controller because I'm too lazy to set the PATH on each single client computer.

The -V option sounds also good, but I have to adapt each link on each client computer as well. I'm going to sleep about it.

Best regards

Joerg
