I've post a long reply to a thread in this forum. I took me some time to make screenshots, edit the images, upload them to an image server, and finally make the post only to know it would be done so AFTER moderation.[:@]

I now remember why I LEFT this forum years ago. As you may see I'm one of the first-timers on this forum, and even though I have very few posts here. It is very frustrating to have your post subject to preventive censoring. Either remove an inconvenient post or ban the poster. There's a "Report abuse" link available if anyone feels uncomfortable. My tuppence.

Please, forgive the crabbiness of an old man.

[quote user="dlbayne"]Copy to Self results in an entry for each cc recipient. [/quote]

I don't know what would cause this.  This only thing that comes to mind that will act on the cc content is copyself filters.  I don't know about autofilters but that's worth checking as well (right click on the Copy to Self folder name > Autofiltering and see if there is a checkmark next to the "Autofiltering configured" item).

[quote user="dlbayne"] When I delete the duplications, I get the error message "Probable invalid offset in index record".

When I reindex, all the duplications reappear. 

How can I fix these problems? [/quote]

Deleted messages are just hidden until deleted space is recovered so a reindex will recover all deleted messages in unrecovered space.  Deleted space gets recovered automatically, by default at 24000 bytes available, but that is configurable.  There is a right click option to do it manually.

Sometimes a folder problem can not be fixed from within Pegasus Mail.  For those cases there is a utility included with Pegasus Mail called MBXMAINT_UI.EXE.  Find it in the \Programs directory of Pegasus Mail.  It's usage is self-explanatory.  You will need to know the filename of the folder to be repaired.  This is available from folder information (another right click option). I suggest making a backup copy of the relevant .PMM/.PMI file pair first.

I'm glad the problem has been identified.  

I wonder how many AOLers we have who post to listerv or mailman type lists with a reply-to set to the list address.

It's those little things that'll gitcha!

[quote user="blackdog69"]The only 4.73 I found is Mercury? Can I use that in Windows 7 , 32 bit?
[/quote]

This link will get you Pegasus Mail 4.73 

 

So do we assume it was the number of messages in the New Mail folder?

If this is due to leaving messages in the folder after being read (not filing) you can change one option:

Menu | Tools| Options | General Settings | Basic Settings |

Uncheck the  "Allow read messages to stay in new mail folder

This will then move  read mail messages form the New Mail folder to Main Folder

 

Unfortunately, you can't adjust the message header fonts or the fonts in the configuration screens.  These fonts are fixed in the code.  The workarounds are to either use a screen magnifier or decrease the screen resolution (changing system fonts will not help).

FWIW, I run by 1920x1080 laptop at 1600x900.

Thank you for your help. The solution was embarrassingly simple. I had copied the path to the clipboard, then tried to paste it into the <default> box, bbut it had not worked. When I simply typed the path into that box, Peg headed over there and read all the messages and folders and so on into itself.

As recommended, I let Pegasus install itself into its default folder.

 So I am now up and running. And very grateful for the help from you both.

Thank you...I sent all those .cmi files as you suggested..bingo...it worked...I am making another question now...

Who are they addressed to?

As you may be aware you can set up a distribution list and specify a To: address which will replace the recipient addresses in the list.  

NEVERMIND!  I found a filter that I meant to be temporary that I hadn't removed.  I apologize for this post.

OK. I see your point. Thanks.

Oh it is related alright.

One would expect P-Mail to auto adjust without having to close and restart the application.  Thus, a bug.

 

 

Thank you, anyway.

 Anyone else have an idea??

Lydia

Brian,

thank you very much for the support. Pmail is running like it dit before,

thanks again

Niek

Any "rough ideas" anyone could have will be proven wrong sooner or later anyway, so the answer is: No. There hasn't a been a single beta version after the current public release. Mercury v5 will be the first one to come within the next months, but don't hold your breath.

[quote user="lhhesscpa"]When I receive an especially important email, one that requires priority attention, I manually apply the Urgent tag  so that it is placed at the top of the list of in the inbox. So an automatic rule is not a solution for my needs.[/quote]

I don't know of a way to change the urgent color.  You might be able to accomplish what you need by marking as unread and and then setting a color.  This won't keep the message at the very top of the list but it may keep it high enough.

Thanks!

: Very useful advice, working when I want write plain text e-mail (no "Rich text")!

Greenman, brian: I tried "Insert a hyperlink" and it is functional feauture, but must be checked "Rich text", so it is HTML mail, but functional.

Thanks all for the reply, it is great, you guys, are making this community and app still live.

AFAIK, the font button on the new message toolbar is specific to that message.  The one in the main window toolbar sets the default for the active window.  Also, default fonts are identity specific.

Keep in mind that the recipients font settings will dictate how it's displayed on their end unless you are sending formatted html.  That's a frustration for me.  My emails routinely contain lines with numbers so I send in a mono-spaced font.  Number alignment looks good when I hit send but it's usually a mess when quoted in a reply.  The use of a table helps but requires too much effort just to send a few short lines containing text and numbers.

  

Perfect. Thanks.

I did look at it and it was just gibberish.
