I have the same problem with 4.70 on two different computers running Win7 x64.

To be clear, this option is accessed by right-clicking on an email, then 

Add sender's address to... Addressbook...

The other three destinations (Distribution list..., Global whitelist..., and Allow remote graphics list) do work correctly. It is only the Addressbook... option that does not work.

I doubt that the number of accounts is the problem.

The only thing that comes to mind is that an av or anti-malware program might be interfering with Pmail.

In the long term you should exclude Pmail from such scanning, but initially turn them off to check whether they are the issue.

Thank you for workaround.

David Harris: I confirm, that problem with Queue Manager is new for version 4.71. Sending through the "Send now" button does not work well and Queue Manager window is not refreshing.

We appreciate fix this.

There is a new release of Pegasus mail, 4.7.1 which is on the Pegasus mail site but not apparently linked to from here.  Check it out at http://www.pmail.com/v47x.htm which includes the download link.

Did Brian's comment about the install location of PMail resolve this for you?  If you are still having issues please let us know, also let us know if its OK now.

There is nothing in your previous that sound like it can not be made to work.  You keep comparing Pegasus Mail to Thunderbird but Pegasus Mail is NOT Thunderbird.  I works different in a number of ways so you must learn Pegasus Mail.  It is capable of retrieving mail from an many hosted mailboxes as you care to try to work with.  Yes, it uses terms like "folder" and "tray" instead of "directory" and "sub-directory" but the functionality appears the same from within Pegasus Mail (it is quite outside but that is another post).

You mention needing a clear relation between the POP3 acccout, SMTP account, and the mail folder.  Pegasus Mail has only one new mail folder so if you were to retrieve mail via POP3 from 30 mailboxes the messages would all come into that one new mail folder unless you filter them elsewhere.

Consider this:  I have 2 hosted mailboxes, a RoadRunner, a Gmail.  In my Pegasus Mail I have configured 2 identities, one configured to retrieve and send via RoadRunner, one configured to retreive and send via Gmail.  RoadRunner messages come into my new mail folder, Gmail messages are filtered to a Gmail folder.  My Gmail identity is associated with this folder so that when I send replies they appear to come from my Gmail address.

The power and flexibility of Pegasus Mail can be very confusing to configure so my suggestion is to take it slow and post one questions at a time.  Let us know details of what you need to accomplish so we can quide you accordingly.

BTW, IMAP accounts are configured via Tools > IMAP Profiles.

Right, my earlier post was incomplete: copying -- as opposed to moving -- an address book entry has continued to work as before, under all OSes from W2K up to W10. 

It's the single step moving protocol which ceased functioning a few PMail versions ago. 

Many mysteries . . .  voodoo.

Switching between HTML and plain text view is only available when the message contains both an HTML part and a plain text part.  Some are sent only in plain text, others only in HTML, and others with both. 

You can see the parts in the Attachments tab.  If it is greyed out then you are looking at a plain text message with no file attachments.

Dear Irelam,

 Thank you very much for your utility. But anyway, I still think that this is a bug of Pegasus Mail itself and should be fixed. Reindexing should repair as much problems as possible. Or it at least should report an error message box that a folder cannot be repaired. Reindexing is not ordinary job, it is troubleshooting anyway.

In most cases I know workaround that  does not need external utility:

  1. Create a new folder within Pegasus Mail
  2. Copy mails from affected folter to a newly created folder
  3. Erase the defective folder
  4. Rename newly created folder to previous name.

 

Is it David's decision to make this bug to be a feature?

I am so glad this update has been released. I've been a Luddite on MS Win 7_64 updates, refusing most, sticking to what has been stable and works, whilst using 3rd party apps for protection. For the same reason I had been using release w32-463 of Pmail, but it did struggle with a longish waiting time to filter (?) render html message content that seems to come in many automated replies from auction sites etc.

 I bit the bullet this week after a Win &_64 rebuild, sucked in over 200 MS fixes/updates for Win 7_64 then started to get application hangs I suspect were pmail. Since updating to w32-471 I've seen HTML web pages render o.k and quickly and so far no crashes or application hangs, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed! 

 Well done! Because I hope this gives Pegasus Mail an extended lease of life. I haven't yet gone too deep in this release, but one problem I and other long term users have had is dealing with massive mail boxes with some kind of easy click feature for archiving, whilst still getting access to remote content through the GUI  to search and locate old mail. I have been down the export route and moved mail to backup storage, but didn't find it easy.

I just registered to say thank you to David as well - oddly enough, it was by coincidence that I dropped in on the pmail site and saw the news about the new version, then had a nose at the forums and saw this message. The reason was that I'd managed to smash my trusty Pegasus Mail coffee mug and was looking for the merchandise link... a new one is on order, can't be without it! 

And I can't be without Pegasus Mail either. It's served me faithfully through two businesses, through almost two decades (ever since the late '90s), and it has never let me down. It copes flawlessly with my 23 Gb (!) email archive, handles emails to and fro from three different email addresses, and filters things into masses of different folders to keep me organised. On and off I've looked at other email clients but they all appear dumbed down, basic and incapable in comparison.

So thank you David for your tireless work! It really is appreciated. I feel guilty that my donations have been more sporadic than regular, but more $$ just sent :-)

I don't don't have any registry entries associated with Pegasus Mail.  I don't need them or want them unless there is no other choice. 

Pegasus Mail resides on the server but is multi-user shared, run from each employees desktop PC.  It is never run on the server itself.

I wonder about running the installer from a desktop PC as a domain admin and pointing it to the server installation.  I know I can turn off creation of the desktop shortcut and start menu entries but am not sure if anything else will be written locally that is not wanted/needed. 

One thing I discovered when I updated my personal laptop is that if leaving the shortcut/start menu items enabled results in the existing ones getting replaced.  Luckily I had pinned a shortcut to the start menu so was able to copy my command line options from it instead of having to try to remember them.

Just noticed a new version mentioned at filehippo.com
Pegasus Mail 4.71 is now available.
Also mentioned at www.pmail.com - but not mentioned anywhere here until now. Possibly the same happened with 4.70 and previous minor updates.

It is very strange that Pmail is the only application that is experiencing these problems.

As I said, it is as though Pmail cannot get the list of files in the Public Folder (but can access a file if it knows it should be there, like counters.pm).

There is something about this network server that makes Pmail fail, probably hard to reproduce without the specific hardware and firmware.
To be complete:
the one that works is Siemens Gigaset SX763
the one that does not work is Speedport W 724V

Thanks Brian for checking it out!
