I saw those suggestions. But the most recent instance of this bug was with a message with only 2 recipients -- definitely not a list of addresses or close to any likely limit on address length.

I am using the latest version of Pegasus Mail,  4.72.572.

I have been in touch with David Harris about this, at his invitation in a message above in this forum thread. He has not seen this bug reported before.

I read your post to say that several months ago you moved a large number of messages out of the "Mail in" folder but the message count didn't change because of an index problem.  The index problem is also why messages wouldn't open.  Rebuilding the index corrected the message count to 92.  The rest of the messages should be where you moved them.

You also mention a folder that has grown from a few hundred to several thousand.  To help you troubleshoot consider that the only way messages get moved to folders are:

1.  From the New mail folder to the configured default mail folder if read mail is not allowed to stay in the New mail folder

2. Manually

3.  With filters, either filtering rules or auto-filters

Yep, the button is there; I don't know how I missed it. Thanks.

The

"Show pictures" option is there in the message preview, but not in the

"forward with edit" pane; that's as I noted I suspected.

 The only

thing I see in the forwarding options which *might* affect this is the

"Forward attachments" checkbox, and I have it checked.

OK, it

looks like there's nothing I can do to fix this beyond reporting it to David Harris, and it's taken enough

of your time so you can mark this as "closed"; thanks again.

And as I noted, I *can*

make it work after a fashion by using the "new message with message

attached" forwarding option. Now I just have to remember that... ;-)

Thank you.  I'll try that.

Make sure you are using Pegasus Mail v4.70 then in the Security tab of the SMTP host configuration toggle the "Only use SSLv3" option to see if that solves the connection problem.

Also, in General tab of Tools > Internet Mail Options there is a setting to turn on internet session logging.  Turn that on then test.  The resulting log should identify the exact point of failure in the SMTP connection.  Read the help file about this logging.  It will tell you a little bit about the log and where to find it.  Do not post the entire content of a log because it contains an encoded version of your credentials that can easily be decoded.

Turn logging off when done testing.

Windows 10 in all their typical Microsoft wisdom? has elminated the ability to customise Appearance and Colors... just some lame way to add accent colors. Is there some way to at least change the background color in PMail when deselecting the basic option of "Use system colours"?

Thanks for your help,

A new mail filtering rule that is applied when the folder is opened will trigger both when the new mail folder is opened and when the new mail folder is open when the message arrives.  What I suspect is happening in your case is that the user is using Preview mode and the new mail folder was not the active folder when Pegasus Mail is minimized.  In that case, the new mail filter will not trigger until the new mail folder is activated.  The solution is for the new mail folder to be open at all times.

Be aware that a forward filter like you describe will run each time the new mail folder is opened and will trigger on every unread message that meets the filter criteria.  The result could be the same message being forwarded multiple times unless it is marked as read or moved out of the new mail folder after the first forward.

I don't think anyone knows at all. At least you're the first one I heard of.

Thank you very much for that. As I suspected, something simple. Sorry to have to ask a silly question but I find they are the ones that seem to cause me most trouble. Twenty years of using Pegasus and I've yet to encounter a problem that wasn't caused by my lack of knowledge! Thanks.

I wonder if the Mercury version is playing a role in this because my testing was done just prior to upgrading to v4.80.  I am traveling and unable to retest but will do so once I get back to the office and find some time.

Thank you Brian, again.  That's twice that you've got me out of a hole!

I am using DosBox on my Windows 10 64 bit, I have not seen any problems yet. I have not heard anything bad so far about Oracle Virtual Machine either, but have not tried it (no need).  PMConfig runs ok on my machine too

I have had no trouble with Pegasus in Windows 10, except for one thing. Now whenever I open Pegasus, a new message window automatically pops open. I searched through all the settings options, but I could not find one that would stop this from occurring. Does anyone have any fix for this?

Thanks.

Go into menu tools/Incoming mail/Content viewers   You should have an entry for both of these filetypes.  If not add one. If you don't have MS Office installed I suggest you install LibreOffice and associate Scalc.exe with spreadsheet for XLSX  and Swriter for Docx  

Alternatively get the Microsoft file viewers XLS at  https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=10

and for DOC get https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=4

If you are feeling very brave just associate these filetypes with your PKZip (or equiv) and extract the Doc or XLS files from within the zip.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your tip on that small detail that evaded me years ago!  Since that time I've installed PM as you recommend.

Best practice is to exclude the mailbox directories from any sort of active monitoring, whether by an AV product or a product like CCleaner.  They can interfere with the routine file updating that Pegasus Mail does.  The mailbox directories can be included in on-demand or scheduled scans that are run at low usage times.

If you remain concerned about C: you have the option of copying your current Pegasus Mail installation to a USB device and running it from there with the -ROAM command line switch.   This assumes that the mailbox directories are inside of E:\PMAIL.  A couple of drawbacks are a noticeable but not crippling slowness because of read/write speed and you can't make it the default mailer.

Thank you Brian. All good now.

I think the problem here is that you have not saved it before trying to mail it. Pegasus Mail will try to copy your file into a temporary (PM$) file, so it can then potentially do some encoding (Base64 or quoted-printable).

It needs the filename including filetype to create the correct mime headers.   Outlook and friends know nothing about PM$ files usually.
