That did it! Thank you.

Sounds like your system still isn't back to normal ... I doubt anyone other than MS can help here, maybe you need to reinstall your printer drivers if this issue doesn't cease. For a start you could try installing a Generic / Text Only printer as default printer using the Windows printer setup to see whether it's caused by a corrupt printer driver.

IER even allows you to set a larger default (zoom) size in its configuration (accessible via its toolbar button or main menu entry), and it should always work in HTML (formatted) messages, no matter what the author intended.

Figured it out. Thanks anyway.

[quote user="Marcel"]I have two queries regarding the appearance of Pegasus Mail. I can adjust the font in the message panel for type and size but I would like to also similarly adjust the font in the address and subject bar. How can this be done please?[/quote]

Unfortunately those are fixed fonts that can't be changed.

[quote user="Marcel"]Secondly can the email list of new messages be adjusted to cover the full width of the panel?[/quote]

I don't know exactly what you mean by this.  Windows can be stretched, panes can be resized, column widths can be adjusted if any of that helps.  Perhaps it is the truncation of the From & Subject content that you are referring to.  If so, that can not be changed.

All you needed to do was copy c:\pmail to c:\pmail.

Hello everyone

This is my first post here.

I actually used Pegasus some years ago on win 98. I want to use it again on win 10. However, I have read that nowadays a web based mail program is always a better choice than a desktop one. Some of the reasons stated being that it takes up no space on your computer, it offers more security and it is portable - can check mail anywhere.

So I would like to know what the advantages are of using a desktop email program. In respect of taking up space on your hard drive, [..]

With modern computers space is not a problem anymore.

Thank you Brian for your wonderful assistance. I changed it to POP3 and it's working beautifully now and so is the Selective Mail Download. 

And thank you Caisson for the perfect suggestion of using the web interface to enable/disable POP3 & IMAP. I forgot about this and that's why POP3 wasn't working till now. 

 All the best to you guys. 

Problem solved! It was a conflict with another program: Concise Oxford Dictionary (Eleventh Edition) - and  old piece of software. Thanks anyway.

I suspect there is something going on with the HTML part that is preventing it from being displayed as does Martin based on his request for a copy.  He is the one who can get the ball rolling on identifying the problem and troubleshooting the HTML renderers of Pegasus Mail if needed.

Thanks for moving my post.

There was nothing to stretch, nothing of the main window was visible.

But your recommendation to edit the PMAIL.INI was gold! Now I can check my mails again. Thanks a lot!

What I found a bit strange, there were a few more of these lines. So to be sure I edited all of them. Maybe there is one for each identity?

Are they in the queue?  To check the queue go to File > Review queued mail

If so, try to send them from the queue manager window.

Also check the options in your Internet Mail Options settings > Receiving(SMTP) tab to confirm they are set for how you want outgoing messages to be handled (queued or not, sent during idle checks or not, sent before receive or not).

You can't change a Pegasus Mail username but if your original installation was in single user mode you can change it to mult-user mode which then allows you to add another user.  Users are completely independent from each other so what you are trying to accomplish is important.  If you want all existing mail to be available to the new user (keeping in mind that any replies will come from the new email address) then you want to reconfigure the current user.  If you want the new user to start with a clean slate while maintaining the current user then you will need to convert to multi-user mode.  See this thread for details on that:  http://community.pmail.com/forums/post/20179.aspx

Note that these instructions assume that you want to move the current mail and settings to the newly created user.  You may not want to do this so post back if unsure how to maintain the current user and add a new one.

If you go multi-user be sure to make a backup of your mailbox directory first.

[quote user="Michael Robertson"]I am trying to uninstall Pegasus Mail 4.63.  The program is not listed in the Control Panel Add/Install selections.  I can't find an unins000.dat file listed for Pegasus Mail.  I am using Windows XP Pro, SP3.
[/quote]

Its probably a bit late now, but a simple solution is to run the installer. The program should then show up in Add/Remove Programs. 

Each POPxxxxx.PND file is the configuration file for one POP3 host and each SMTxxxxx.PND file is the configuration file for one SMTP host.  They are viewable with a text editor which is how you would determine which host a file belongs to.

If you don't mind, I'd be curious to know (if you know) how you caught the virus.  Was it simply user error, or were you let down by some other security system?

Using PMail 4,70 on Win-XP, I need to regularly import JPeg picture files.

The default presented (perhaps it is by a Windows dialogue box) always offers .BMP as the default instead of .JPG

[/quote]

If I understand your problem correctly, click Tools | Options | Incoming mail | Content viewers and change the viewer for .JPG files.

Luckily NTFS sharing seems to have take care of itself in

this case and I haven’t had to do anything in folder/properties/security. All

the boxes were ticked when I looked there. At the moment my desktop is the only

Win7 machine in the house, with my wife’s desktop and two laptops still using

XP. So far I seem to have been able to avoid Homegroup and get the original XP

workgroup to work. Long may it last!

Very

many thanks to you both again.

Check the download controls settings in the POP3 host configuration. 

The option to delete mail on the server is in the General tab.  I don't suggest enabling that yet but you may wish to at some point.

The option to download only unread mail (mail not previously downloaded) is in the Download controls tab.  You want this one enabled otherwise you keep downloading the same messages.  There are other options here that are worth being aware of but not required for normal operation.

As for the IMAP SSL error, in the Security tab of the IMAP profile is a setting called "Only use SSLv3..."; make sure is is not ticked.

Gmail recommends IMAP though works with POP3.  IMAP leaves mail on the server until you explicitly delete it (local copies are cached if you chose) whereas POP3 downloads the messages to your local mailbox and provides the option to automatically delete them from the server.

That's a great idea, Brian! Thank you! [:)] I feel a little "slow" that I had never thought of that before.

As for my recipients viewing HTML, that will be no problem, as they all use the University's full-featured web client (whose interface I hate, hence my clinging to Pegasus via IMAP - or I guess that should be "IMAP via Pegasus" - and I've kept my Pegasus set not to "generate multipart/alternative..." for years now without any negative feedback from recipients.

Seems like you've provided me with the best solution, as this will allow me to continue using my correction macro in Word, keeping the process efficient! [:D]

Thanks!!
