The perfect forum for discussions or technical questions about Pegasus Mail.
@idw: I want to keep my users' IER file cache location on their local drive. I expect performance to be better with the cache on the local drive rather than the network.
Is there a way to prevent prompting each user about moving their file cache (since most won't understand what it is) and keeping it as it is?

Creating a new mail with To:, Subject:, and simple text in the body, add an attachment like blabla.pdf (with or without choosing File Type: Adobe or Mailer decides) and sending this one results in an
"354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>"
and a message with "mail delivery failure". The mail remainsl in the queued folder.
Tried different filenames like "bla bla.pdf", "bla_bla.pdf" and "bla_bla.pdf" - same behavior.
Size of "blabla.pdf" is ~ 2MB.
Tried different pdf-files with different sizes as attachment - same behavior. Seems to be a problem with the .pdf-filetype and not with the files.
Attachment for example like "bla.txt" works fine...
"Filetype.pm" is untouched - no Adobe or pdf-entry is in there...

Hello all
Preview of mail message, internal and over peer to peer network unreadable. This is an example - happening more often, but still erratic - How do I fix this?
Thanks,
Donald.

Those of you following the thread about the previous release already know: There's another update released apparently fixing the crash occuring on some systems when shutting down Pegasus Mail. Please see below for the link to IER's history page providing the download URL.
This time there are three major changes in this version:
I've implemented a relocation of the default IER file cache location (if not having been customized previously) which will be applied automatically if confirmed on first launch after updating: The cache directory will now be a subdirectory of the respective Pegasus Mail user's new mail directory for ensuring that it will stay the same location when using Pegasus Mail on portable devices or networks. Please note that copying existing cached files to the new location may slow down the first Pegasus Mail launch after updating IER once for each Pegasus Mail user!
Next one is an extended menu option for changing Pegasus Mail's HTML renderer: It now offers additionally the option to use Pegasus Mail's internal RichText module as HTML renderer which may be helpful for a couple of Windows XP and Linux users: While BearHtml will be enabled by default if detecting MSHTML modules of IE versions below v8 they may now easily switch to the built-in renderer if regarding it to serve their requirements better. It should be capable of restoring itself even after updates trying to restore renamed files for applying these changes. Please note that switching to and from the built-in renderer will require a restart of Pegasus Mail which will be offered as an immediate option after selecting the respective switch.
Another important change is the migration of image processing from using the system's GDI+ interface to the favour of the open source FreeImage library (already coming with Pegasus Mail) which might speed up HTML rendering a little bit if loading embedded images.
This version also brings a slightly modified handling for the BearHtml related crash of the previous version for taking care of yet unknown reasons to cover.
Additionally it includes slightly modified help files for better readability and some adjustments with regard to required Windows versions and also fixes and removes some outdated URLs.
Then it fixes a workaround dealing with improper use of HTML 5 elements in supposedly IE 11 compatible messages which accidentally would hide images.
It as well fixes a charset issue affecting HTML text imported into Pegasus Mail's editor from external HTML files if containing non-ASCII characters in UTF-8 and local ANSI encoding.
And it finally works around an issue caused by invalid size formatting of embedded emoticons in notifications from Pegasus Mail's support forum.
Upcoming IERenderer image cache changes
Hi All,
A new version of IERenderer will soon be released. That version will include a change to the default location of the image file cache directory. This change is significant enough to warrant a pre-release advisory to provide you with an opportunity to give it some consideration instead of being surprised by it during the next upgrade. Michael in der Wiesche gracefully accepted my offer to create and post the advisory, this advisory.
As you may know, the current default location for the IERenderer image file cache directory is in [WinDrive]:\Users[WinUser]\AppData\Roaming (= %APPDAT%) with a fallback location of [WinDrive]:\Users[WinUser]\AppData\Local\Temp (= %TEMP%). The following concerns have been expressed about these locations:
Michael is addressing these concerns by changing the default location of the IER image file cache. The new location will be a subdirectory of the new mailbox directory. The next upgrade will detect whether your image file cache is in one of the two default locations, and if it is, it will offer to relocate it to your new mailbox directory. If you agree, the new image file cache directory will be created in your new mail directory and all cached image files will be moved to it. This may take some time. If you don't agree, the image file cache will remain where it is.
You will still be able to control the location of the image file cache directory from within the IER configuration dialog.
This is not the only change contained in the new release. Watch for its release announcement or, once it is released, visit its version history page at
My PMail has recently started hanging up when I go to New Mail. It gets hung up on Mail Filtering.
Any suggestions?
Running v4.81.1154, the outgoing "queued mail" folder has what appears to be a blank message with no address. If it is deleted, it reappears shortly after. When sent it generates an error to the effect of "has no address". How to get rid of this persistent rogue message?
Some emails I receive has the received time in the header 00:00:00 with notoffset to my timezone: -06.00.00. Are these sorted chronologically?
Emails are being received but double clicking on the email or single click and Open does not open the email and after a short while closes Pegasus. Version 4.80 reinstalled but does the same thing. This has been working and now stopped. Any ideas please.

Have a good evening
I just set up Pegasus email. I used the same info that work with 2 other email clients. But when I tried to send a test email, i get:
TCP/IP error while processing job
A network error has occurred while WinPMail attempted to send your message.
The SMTP server I use is "insecure."
Would appreciate suggestions. Thanks.

Hi folks -
For a couple of years, I haven't been able to find a way to permanently set, as a default, the font size for the message body of outgoing messages.
The current default is 10 points which is smaller than I would prefer.
I can highlight the message body, click "f" for font, and scroll down to, say, 12 points, which does change the message font size, but I can't find a way to permanently change the default.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks,
Eleanor White
After updating to 4.81 my network configuration gets lost when I close Pmail. I have to select Pop3 and SMTP configuration each time after start again.
Note: After upgrading, I changed to the english version in between to change some settings.
In which files is the active network configuration stored?
I have a folder containing about 300 emails and I need to export the messages so that another person can read them in another email program. My version of PM does not have export or back up in its menu. Version info below.
How do I export the messages?
Thanks
Tom Jennings

My Cox Email has been migrated to Yahoo. I have configured the Network Configuration in PMail for Yahoo. I am using POP. I can retrieve/delete my email for my Cox Account on Yahoo.
I've generated an APP password for PMail.
I'm unable to Send (SMTP) from PMAIL to Yahoo. This is the Trace showing end of transaction. I've masked the sending and recipient email address in the trace.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong in my configuration?

Really appreciate any help that I can get.
Thank in advance!
My wife has been using Pegasus for going on 30 years, and has created a unique message filing system.. nested folders within nested folders.. like hundreds of filing trays with filing trays below them, and many thousands (10's of thousands?) of emails in them.
Example:
Topic 1, with sub topics, May 2020, June 2020, July 2020, etc.
She may well have subfolders under each; Subject 1,Subject 2, etc. under May 2020, and again same or similar named subfolders under June 2020 folder, and July, etc. (The subfolder names make sense only to her..
). The messages are located under those subfolders (filing trays).
Well, it appears she did something in the course of "organizing emails" (not sure what. Moved, maybe?) and the folder/filing tray "Topic 1" can no longer be found.
I've expanded all the folders, but can not find the "Topic 1" folder anywhere.. 
But I can text search (headers) for emails sent from a particular sender that would have been filed somewhere under "Topic 1", and have found about 4800+ messages that appear to be emails that would be under that topic 1, so they still exist somewhere. However, the displayed location folder/filing tray in the search results doesn't include the full path, so I can not locate the parent folder those messages are (now) nested in or under.
So the question is, can I/how can I locate precisely where the actual email message(s) that were found and listed in the search results folder, are now actually residing in the Pegasus folder list?
Is there an alternative?
Since this doesn't fit into the thread about using App passwords in Pegasus Mail with MS mail accounts I'm posting this URL in a new thread: The page linked to provides further URLs to information about various other authentication issues related to MS mail accounts. It's for informational purposes as a starting point for figuring out more details since it primarily deals with Exchange related connection building:
