[quote user="idw"]... There's a Stop button on Pegasus Mail's status bar (bottom right) which turns red while Pegasus Mail is sending and should allow you to interrupt it - but I'm not sure whether it works the way you want it. [/quote]

Thank you, Michael. The Stop button worked well enough: It aborted the send process (which was my primary objective). The message left in the Queue Manager was converted to Final Form, hence no longer editable. But that's not a problem because I can edit and resend a copy from the Sent mail folder (Outbox).

[quote user="Brian Fluet"]You can configure Pegasus Mail to queue all mail which allows time for a second thought. [/quote]

Thanks for the suggestion, Brian. I do have mail queued before sending and therefore have time for a second thought. So the Stop button allows yet a third thought! Generally that occurs when I am forwarding or resending a message with a large attachment which I forgot to remove. The slow transmission on send alerts me that the attachment is still there.

Hello everyone,

I am a loyal user because this software offers a set of features like no one else offers.

Now it has appeared a problem in a very useful feature of this program as it is the search in folders:

I can not find  words or contents of messages encoded in base64:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

The  search can not "see" into this messages as we can not read when checking the "raw view" of the message.

Are there any option to solve it inside the program ? 

Thanks in advance

I am using Chrome on Windows 10 and I find that this crops up from time to time.   The problem goes away after closing and restarting Pegasus so I do not think that it is a settings issue.

Alleluia!  From another post on this forum, THIS WORKS:

Activate Internet Options|Sending (SMTP) Menu entry .Highlight the

SMTP definition you're using and hit the Edit button.  In the resulting

dialog, hit the Security tab. In the first section hit the middle radio

button(Use STARTTLS).  In the second section, activate the third option

(Login using a POP3 username and password, and enter the POP3 definition

you're using in the edit box.

OK out of the dialogs and sending mail should now work. 

Can you clarify what you have done and what you are trying to do.

By default Pmail installs to C:\Pmail.

The executable is located in C:\Pmail\Programs

Your mailbox will be at C:\Pmail\Mail\<username> (Admin by default) 

How you transfer depends on your old installation.

Look at Help | About | Info for that and post the result here. 

In that new thread post the content displayed by the Info button of the old install.  We can then offer specific guidance.  The Info button is in Help > About Pegasus Mail.

[quote user="MP."] Is there something like the filetype.pm, which checks outgoing files, for incoming files?[/quote]

Yes.  It is mime-map.pm.  As Michael said, this should not be needed if the extension is know to the system but I understand the benefit of removing "unknown" for user benefit (I have done it here).  Here are my instructions to self:

Quoted from the Pegasus Mail manual:

FILETYPE.PM -  Pegasus Mail uses this file to work out what attachment type it should associate with a given file. It is used when "Mailer decides" is chosen as the attachment type in the Attachments view of the Message editor. Having a well-stocked FILETYPE.PM file means that your messages are more likely to be sent with the information necessary to allow other programs to associate file viewers with them.  Instructions are contained within the file which is a plain text file.

MIME-MAP.PM - Pegasus Mail uses this file to translate custom MIME content types into attachment types. New MIME content types are being added all the time, and using this file allows Pegasus Mail both to generate them in outgoing mail and to recognize them in incoming mail. For example, say someone sends you a MIME message with the content type "Application/MyWordProcessor", and you have an entry that says that "Appli-
cation/MyWordProcessor" is the same as "MS-Word", then Pegasus Mail will be able to work out that it can run MS-Word to view the document.

Example to self:

Adding the following lines to FILETYPE.PM will identify the file type of .docx files as "MS-DOCX" and .xslm files as "MS-XLSX".

MS-DOCX,0,X,0,.DOCX
MS-XLSX,0,X,0,.XLSX

Taking this a step further, adding the following lines to MIME-MAP.PM will identify the file type in the Pegasus Mail reader Attachments tab as "Microsoft Office  Word Document" and" Microsoft Office Excel Spreadsheet".

application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document = MS-DOCX
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet = MS-XLSX

NOTE:   "MS-DOCX" and "MS-XLSX" _MUST_  be the same text as the corresponding <file type>  entry that you have in FILETYPE.PM
 

I changed the Windows default printer to a PDF printer, rebooted, but still have delays in Pegasus Mail. What next can I do or try? Thanks.

Ah, Brian...

 I think you hit the nail on the head.  I have recently upgraded my Avast. Never thought of that. I will search Avast to see if I can find a spam filter.

Thank you so much, again.  I think you have rescued me.

[quote user="Sheepdog"]

The upgrade to 4.71 went smoothly. And in the manual that comes with that, and perhaps earlier, I don't know... I didn't happen to look there (used inline help, etc. I did R some of the FMs!)...

"-U <user> Start WinPMail as another user (the “Become” switch”. -U can
only be used in NetWare modes.)"

I'm pretty sure the NetWare mode isn't available to me. I start my .exe with -A, which says "not Netware" (and -ms... for multiple concurrent sessions- one for each of my users.)

BEWARE: If you want multiple concurrent sessions YOU are RESPONSIBLE for making sure that each of them is accessing a DIFFERENT user's mailbox. Multple concurrent access to one mailbox will end in tears.[/quote]

The Help may not explain it very well but basically the difference is:

-u name = contact Netware and change to computer user "name" and open their mailbox

-i name = open the mailbox "name" - where you have multiple mailboxes

-id name = open a mailbox and change to identity "name"

I hope that helps.

Control of whether or not read messages can stay in the new mail folder is controlled by this setting: 

Tools > Options > General Settings > Basic Settings > Allow read messages to stay in the new mail folder

Thanks for your help, Brian.

After trying a bunch of things, I was able to get rid of the offending messages.  Not even sure which method did the trick, but they're gone.

Thanks!

I don't think you will find too many Incredimail users here.

You are probably better off researching conversion to Thunderbird or Outlook and use that as a stepping stone in the first instance.

There will be advice available in the archives of this forum in relation to conversion from those programs.

A method that does work, but can be painfully slow, is to create an IMAP account with a free provider and (assuming Incredimail can handle IMAP)

move your messages to the IMAP folders and then open that account in Pmail. You can then transfer your messages to local folders.

Thanks Michael, wonder why I never had a problem before...

Q - Are these startup times unusual?
Startup time desktop: 2 sec
Startup time laptop: 50 sec
(15sec to display Pegasus)
(25 more sec to begin folder window -- this is reduced to 10 sec by not using the mapped drive approach.)
(10 more sec to display newmail list)
[/quote]

Too long.  There are two known issues that impact Pegasus Mail performance:

1. Printer driver - which you have addressed

2. Winsock - In Tools > Options > General settings > Advanced settings  ensure that the "Load Windows Internet Services" option is set to "Always"

There was a second question in my email notice from the forum that has not appeared here which was:

[quote user="StanH"]Q2 - What settings control startup configuration: Like start with [Mail
folders..] closed, and when opened, have My Mailbox selected, or make My
Mailbox and Gmail open together?[/quote]

Tools > Options > General settings > Basic settings > Save the Pegasus Mail desktop state between sessions.  Read the help files for details about what this saves. 

Most configuration settings, including this one, are mailbox specific so keep in mind that you are accessing the Admin mailbox from two machines so changes made on one machine will be reflected on the other machine.  You can enable the "Save desktop state" option, configure things as you like, close Pegasus Mail to save, then reopen and disable that setting so things don't get altered but that setting must be disabled on both machines.  Also, there is a method of using a different .ini file by each machine but it doesn't offer much in the way of control (different main window sizes & specifying a different temp directory are the only ones that come to mind). 

The latest version of Pmical 2.50 is now available from the downloads area at Url:

http://community.pmail.com/files/folders/pegadd/entry45574.aspx

 Please

ensure you read the PmicalHelp.htm before replacing any existing

versions of Pmical.  This version of Pmical includes a TimeZone database

in order to display both sender and recipient time zones, and switches

automatically when Daylight/Standard time changes occur.

Fixes have been created to handle yet more data problems.

I just found the label settings. I guess will have to do some reading. I need to learn how to use the settings.

Thank you for your quick reply.

The new Version works great on all the PCs I tested.

Michael

Thanks, David. I will save that info for future problems.

Here's how I finally resolved it. When my cursor hovered over Pegasus in the task bar, a small grey Pegasus box appeared. It was THAT box that I was able to right-click on, and finally see the move/minimize/maximize. When I maximized, there it was. It took a long while of I don't know what, really, before I was able to stretch that damn little grey minimized box out to its normal size. So it wasn't off screen, it just got really tiny. This same thing has sometimes happened to me while inside pegasus, where I've suddenly 'lost' the email I was typing. Eventually I find it in the bottom left corner, looking like it's been minimized but really needs stretching up and out (forgive my terminology - I'm sure it's not quite right).
