[quote user="Brian Fluet"]Partly.  The right-click functionality does not work in 4.70.  This is a known issue.  Address book edits work fine, or at least they should.  One oddity I have noticed it that when you change details like name and email address, those details do not immediately show up in the name list.  IIRC correctly, a reindex fixes it.

Thanks, Brian

I spoke the person having these issues and he reindexed the address Book and the edits did not stick but many duplicates appeared. I did not know about reindexing an Address Book so this is probably the first time this book has been reindexed since it was created in the mid-late 90's! I asked him to delete the problematic entries and recreate them.

Fab!

The pmj's [Folder_Open_Filters] section references the FOL0* names against the associated rule file's name (*.pmc). I can get the folder's FOL0* name from the Properties and the rule name from the pmc file.

Cheers!

Thank you Michael

I have turned that option off and while still not fast the message display is certainly quicker and I haven't had any problems with Pegasus hanging on start up since. I presume now that the problems I've been having are due to having an older computer and a not very fast internet connection.

[quote user="MageMaster"]The "right-click it and choose 'Recover deleted space'" does NOT work.  Keep getting 'mailbox open' error. Can't even delete folders.[/quote]

Did you try Guy's suggestion of using the "Pegasus Mail Mailbox Maintenance Utility" (PMail\Programs\mbxmaint_ui.exe) three posts before yours in this thread? The utiity can be found in Pegasus Mail's "Programs" subdirectory and will only succed after shutting down Pegasus Mail. If it doesn't work this way reboot your machine and try again without ever opening Pegasus Mail before.

Thank you, Brian. I will work on it and hope that I get everything back in the addressbook department. Thank you all for your help. It's just slog-work from here on in.

I have been using Pegasus for probably has many years as the product exists.

And now experiencing a problem I never seen before and I can't resolve myself :-(

Pegasus froze during a global mailbox search (probably stuck in a IMAP folder)

After I shut it off, I can't see the GUI unless I go in Windows processes and maximize PMAIL window.

Then in Pegasus, if I try to use it not maximized. It disappear :-(

 How can I reset the GUI size and position?

 Thanks

(System is running Win8.1)

 EDIT - I managed to solve it myself

1. Must use a process/task viewer to maximize the window in order to see the GUI (I use ProcessExplorer)
   
2. Right-Click on Taskbar and select show windows side by side [does not work if (1.) is not done]
3. Then you can play with size and location of the PMAIL GUI - Close Pegasus - Reopen it... All back to normal.

 WEIRD!

[quote user="Eshtaol"]....sometimes simple things stare you right in the face (or mouse)...LOL Thank you again[/quote]

... this is not the simplest way to solve. I have changed the appointed program responsible for "mailto:" links in my browser to Pegsaus.

For the current release of Firefox e.g.: menu > settings > applications > mailto: > choose "Pegasus Mail WSENDTO utility".

In case this WSENDTO could not be chosen, you have to set the path to the wsendto.exe program within your pegasus program folder.

Once adjusted properly, every click onto an email address in the internet will open Pegasus Mail automatically with the email address added into the To: box.

Thank you very much Brian.

I unchecked the box beside Use only SSLv3 and was able to send a test email successfully.

I will reset the timeout settings and continue to send emails.

I will report back again.  

Hello All,

 I've been using Pegasus for close to 20 years and just found out a huge problem with the "Find" function.

 If you use the dropdown box to select "Search all folders in the selected mailbox", it does NOT do so! Specifically the "New mail" folder is not searched!

 Big bummer. I've been doing bogus searches for years and not realized it.

The only way to actually search ALL of the folders is to start your search while in the "New mail" folder, then select "Search the current folder and all folders at the same level", then check the box "Search folders contained in sub-folders as well".

In other words, for some reason the search function does NOT consider the "New mail" folder to actually be a folder, unless you start the search from within it....

 This applies to version 4.7, build 546, which I believe is the current version. I do not know if prior version are also affected.

I am going to post this in the feature request forum as well. (Probably breaking a cross-posting rule... sorry!)

Thought 1:  The setting you refer will not affect a message that you are already working on.  It becomes effective in the next message editor window that is opened. 

Thought 2:  The setting is identity specific

[quote user="idw"]IOW: The installer "got confused" by mismatching path information. Would you you be willing to test a modfication if I can figure out one, Brian?[/quote]

Certainly [/quote]

I've now modified the installer for using the provided install path instead of the one from the Registry if they differ. Can you please send me an email via IER's About ... dialog so I can send you the (zipped) installer? IER itself hasn't been modified and keeps its version number, and I haven't added a note the history file either, yet.

[quote user="senrdev"]I use version 4.6 and just to see last week I installed 4.7 - less crashes

but still can't move emails when using XP, same behaviour on that issue[/quote]

In general it is recommended to use the most recent versions of PM and all possibly involved modules, for dealing with crashes see .

For the mail move issue see here.

Well, if you set up Autofiltering, you really need to know which folders have which settings applied. If you have that many folders that you cannot find messages even when you have configured something like Autofiltering, then, as you say, you are going to have to go through the entire message store and file them manually.

[quote user="Neil Fraser"]Win 7 Pro, this happened repeatedly at exactly the same time.

Can you please forward a copy of this description with the crashing message attached to <beta-reports[at]pmail.gen.nz>?

As a first step can you look at  Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info,  on the main toolbar and tell us the location of Winpmail.exe and the New and Home mailboxes.

Sometimes Pegasus Mail appears hung because it is busy and can't respond to keyboard or mouse input.  This can happen to the point where the "Not responding" verbiage appears in the main window title.  It normally sorts itself out if given enough time.  Some folks experience the problem, some don't.  AFAIK the specific cause has not been identified.  I experience it and find it to be worse on slow machines and when running from a slower access device like a USB stick. 

Edit (afterthought):  Make sure the the Load Windows Internet Services  (wsockdll32.dll) is set to 'Always'.  This setting is in Tools > Options > General settings > Advanced settings.

You can change the font of the New Mail message list, the Folder list, and of the message reader window (will not affect HTML content).  When each window is active click the font icon located in the toolbar of the mail window (it is the blue, lower case "f").

As for the cause, I don't know.  The files that store this the folder layouts might have gotten corrupted and were rebuilt with default settings.  This is just conjecture though.  Also, there is a function that allows you to assign a default window layout to a folder window but this isn't something you could do accidentally.  I would not affect the message reader window anyway.

Hey Brian, thanks much.  In fact, I have never used Pegasus Email (or Mercury) and am coming to you with a 20-year-old vault of thousands of Calypso (and then Courier) emails.  In fact I was just about to compose my thread but I'm on a dying PIII and having all kinds of fun not!!  Will return . . .
