Thank you, Brian, for the response. I think this will save all some time. While waiting to see if things would start working properly I was watching TV. Things (Uverse) just went out and the "restarting" message came on my screen. I don't know if it was local or some kind of system outtage but after the restart finished I checked email just to see.

All was working properly!!! [:O] And I was gonna send a message to mods or other system personnel to disregard my help mail being evaluated before posting here. Couldn't find how so I just waited for the first reply. So it looks like the trouble was with Uverse and ATT couldn't find it nor were my settings (or whatever...) off.

 But thanks again and I DO have the timeout setting(s) set to 180 seconds already.

I got it working.  I knew the upgrade to 1607 was going to require a reset of the default browser to FF so I had done that.  Links out of other apps triggered FF as expected so all appeared well except for Pmail.  I did the FF uninstall/reinstall out of desperation which didn't solve the problem but while working on it tonight I discovered that FF was listed twice in the Add or Remove Programs list.  Web searching did not turn up a solution and an uninstall/install/uninstall procedure didn't remove it so I fired up CCleaner and removed all reg entries it found the were associated with FF.  That rogue program entry remained so I edited the registry deleting the one key that held the path to the non-existent uninstaller file associated with that rogue entry.  A cold boot and a fresh install of FF got the open in browser option working correctly again. 

The registry key I deleted appears to have been associated with the rogue entry so it doesn't make sense that removing it was the solution.  I'm guessing that something CCleaner found is what solved the problem and removal of the reg key took care of getting rid of the rogue entry.

[quote user="Jim Adney"]Problems Migrating Pegasus from XP to Win 10[/quote]

This was a single-user version of Pegasus v4.72.

Okay, with Brian's hint about the protected nature of the Windows program files, I've managed to solve my problem. Here's what I did:

I installed Win 10 on my "new" PC and re-partitioned to give myself separate partitions for OS, applications, page file, and home directories.

Created 3 directories in D:, Program Files, Program Files (x86), and OldApps (for Pegasus, among others.)

Installed a fresh copy of Pegasus v4.72 into D:\OldApps\Internet\Pmail, but did NOT do any network setup.

Opened the new Pegasus and moved the mostly empty mailbox to the location where I wanted it.

Went to my old PC and created a new mail folder into which I transferred ALL my New Mail. That put all my mail into one path/directory.

Copied the entire contents of that directory onto a thumb drive.

On the new PC, I deleted the contents of the (moved) mailbox and replaced it with the contents from the thumb drive.

When I opened Pegasus on the Win 10 PC all my mail was there, but now I had to transfer the "new mail" from its folder to New Mail.

Transferring to New Mail was difficult because there were 3600 messages there, so Pegasus claimed to run out of room after several hundred messages. I got around this by closing the folder I was transferring from and re-opening it. Then I could transfer more. I had to repeat this several times, but each time I did this, more transfers were allowed. I've now gone back and cleaned out about half of those messages.

With the transfers complete, I found that everything I needed was there, except my various Identities. When I started to replace them, I found that this was easier than expected because all the POP3 and SMPT info was still there. So setting up all my identities was just a matter of creating Identity names and selecting POP3 and SMTP servers for each one.

thanks for the help, Brian.

Thanks again Paul, sounds as if I might now have cracked it.

Many thanks to you, Shades and Brian for your help.

I have unsubscribed from this newsletter as things seem to be working again without problems. Maybe they are using Wordpress or equiv to create their newsletters and forgot to input any News :-(

EDIT: I removed my anwer, I found out, that every folder has an address in pegasus mail folder, so It can be easily moved.

There are numerous different filtering options.  Specific questions based on the type of filtering you want to use or accomplish are needed. 

If you haven't read Chapter 6 of the manual I suggest it as a valuable source of information.  Also, the help files with Pegasus Mail are excellent.

If you haven't found the manual it's in the \Pmail\Programs directory as manual.pdf.

doing a simple search for Thunderbird in this forum.

Thank you for the quick replies and advice. Very much appreciated.

Brian, many thanks for the explanation. After many years of using Pegasus, I am learning new things about it! In effect, it has had almost a Recycle Bin longer than Windows!

Maybe - you wouldn't be the first one - you've got more than one copy of Pegasus Mail on your machine installed and try patching the wrong one?

Michael and Martin,

thank you for your help. I believe the problem has been resolved. I installed the latest version, 4.72 and it was the same. Then I went to Tool.Options.Hyperlinks and changed the destination browser to IE and now it appears to be working. I had tried this before with no luck but I was still using the old version. Anyway, I can double click on URLs etc and I can now view them. Personally I'm still convinced that it is the latest version of Firefox that is the problem, at least with my machine!

Again, many thanks to both of you for your help!

[quote user="irelam"]So let me know if I should start burning the midnight oil on looking into this ?[/quote]

Oil burning light huh?  I now have a vision of you dressed in a Scrooge robe, with a fire in a fireplace and snow on the window panes, typing one handed while operating a hand crank generator that powers your PC.  Oh the places the mind can go. 

Anyway, no midnight oil burning is needed.  It's routine for me to send messages to a vendor and cc its regional sales rep so I like to copyself to both the vendor folder and the rep folder.  A one step process would be nice but it's not worth your attention unless there is much larger interest than just mine.

Make sure the security setting in Yahoo for "Allow apps that use less secure sign in" is enabled.

My connection to the Internet is via a satellite.

When I send mail with files attached I usually get the message that the sending did not succeed. And the mail will appear in the queued mail; the sending will restart every 30 (?) minutes without succes.

However the first sending will arrive in good order at the addressee! And when I do not delete the message in the queue, it will arrive several times. Deleting the message in the queue will result in minutes time to close the connection.

When Windows 10 sends a file, everything goes well.

I think it has to do with the duration of the communication to and from the satellite and Pegasus 4.72.

Does anyone have a solution?

I just took the plunge knowing I could revert easy enough.  I could not control the install to \PMAIL instead of \PMAIL\PROGRAMS.  I copied all files to \PMAIL then uninstalled and was surprised to not see the deletion of \PMAIL\PROGRAMS or of any of the registry entries.  The uninstall did not appear to have done anything other than remove the Pegasus Mail entry from the Programs and Features list.  I am very surprised by that.

I haven't done extensive testing yet but do see that the new spell checker is not in use.  I assume files are required in the mailbox directories.  I'll be trying to figure this out tomorrow but if anyone knows what those files are I would appreciate the list.

Edit:  My mistake about the spell checker.  It is using the new one.  Only issue now is that it defaults to the Czeck one.  Looks like that setting is stored in state.pmj so I don't see a way to globally specify a dictionary.

I have written to you separately on this problem. The basic problem here is that the original message was composed as plain text, and there is no html alternative. Pegasus Mail only has support for a few alternative character sets in text mode and does not support Japanese character switching. The solution will require the creation of these kinds of messages with the Pegasus Mail option   Sending mail\ Outgoing mail: Generate multipart/alternative

Some days ago we experienced also problems when trying to pay for a bigger Mercury Licence by PayPal from Germany. Every try, our PayPal transfer (with own PayPal login) to Australia was cancelled with an unspecific error message. Then I have tried to transfer the amount as described without PayPal login. But also this doesn't work because PayPal wants that we create an own account immediately, as described by Albert. Now I'm in contact with David and finally he has send me an invoice - but unfortunately without any bank account data where we could transfer the money to. Presently I'm waiting for a new invoive from David.

The entire transfer procedure should be renewed and simplified that David gets his money in time. I think PayPal is a good solution in general, but Country specific problems should be checked in advance.

In your POP3 host configuration...

General tab:  Confirm port 995 and timeout set to at least 90 seconds

Security tab:  Confirm only the "Via direct SSL connect" option is ticked

Each directory and sub-directory needs a file NB.ID with a line: Administrator: Admin  where admin is the id used to administer the Noticeboard system
