I think that Google and Gmail are pretty much the same. If you have a Gmail account, i.e. <username>@gmail.com you also have a Google account, i.e. <username>@googlemail.com, where the username is the same in both.

Sorry my mistake, I should have said the mailbox name.

When you have your Gmail IMAP account open in Pmail click on the Mailbox name (top folder), it might not be called Gmail, its whatever you named it in the profile.then click on add in the toolbar.

Clicking on a tray will allow you to add a folder to the tray, clicking on a folder will allow you to add a folder at the same level or as a sub-folder to the selected folder.

In the event of a recurrence you should employ the method suggested by Brian using the default copy self folder to replace the existing.

Probably the file extension supplied in the Mime message part header is not recognized by Pegasus Mail, and the File type is declared as Application/Octet (file contains binary bytes that are not displayable.)

You would need to post a copy of one of these messages to the Pegasus Mail support team to look into this further.  But a simple question to start things off: What changed in your environment that started this problem off ?

The first thing to do is reduce the messages in your inbox to less than 500. Unless you have devised a filing scheme already, create a folder and Move all the items to that folder.

Secondly check in your Pegasus Mail menus for Tools/Options/advanced Settings and ensure that the "Load Windows Internet Services" is set to Always

Windows performs internet services by pausing everything else

 I would recommend you look into foldering to store messages you want to keep. Automating this is achieved by using Rules.  For others, the Delete button will help clear your inbox. I would suggest keeping the Inbox down to 50 or less messages. They have to be re-read every time you re-open Pegasus Mail.

Microsoft assert that if you upgrade your OS from 7, 8, 8.1 to 10, everything will work. I assume that this will also apply to vanilla installations.

I enabled logging and the problem went away. It comes back often.

I found that I get the error sometimes when I try to open a message in a folder. I can correct this problem by closing and then opening the folder.

now some 15 months old indicates that a v4.71 was in the pipeline but nothing has eventuated.

I suggest disabling the POP3 definition first or you could end up going round in circles.

Thanks Martin.

Interesting that they are editable via the template editor without first moving to a mailbox, at least they are in my testing.  I guess in a multi-user lan environment users would prevented from modifying them by permissions restrictions to the Pegasus Mail executable directory.

cookie, new mail template files have a .PM5 extension, reply template files are .PM6.

Many thanks.  Downloaded, installed and now working!!

I fixed it - thanks guys

One of the links suggested looking at STATE.PMJ

 I simply renamed that - now I am working again, moving around ok

I set up Thunderbird and it works fine.

I would suggest you try renaming HOSTS file to something like HOSTS.OLD, then add the new line to that file, and do a SaveAs to HOSTS with no filetytpe

Steffan, looks like a good idea but I've already completed the migration using caisson's method.

Eudora OSE IS built on Thunderbird. I just wish there'd been ongoing support, but nothing beyond the initial release ever came out.

 Thanks anyway!

The problem has been resolved and was mostly of my own making.

My original text file had a quotation mark in it but I'd removed it.

However the QUOTES.EXE utility does not replace the rquotes.r file but appends to it and I'd run it several times, at least three of which with the offending quote in place. Once I realised  my error and pared rquotes down the the comment it all worked as it should (once I found a 32 bit version of windows to run them on).

It might not be there. Help | About | Info shows that built in TCP/IP support is disabled.

Thanks Martin, your thoughts made me rethink this again and I found the issue behind it - on Windows 8.1 I had input language set to English with my local keyboard layout. When I changed it to my language (with my local keyboard layout), Pmail started interpreting keystrokes fine.

The reason why it worked on Windows 7 is that I have input language set to English with English keyboard layout - so I could not input international characters even if I wanted to (while having this language preference selected). Default setting is my language with my keyboard so it all worked fine.

I am changing selected language preference via "language bar" on taskbar. It shows only input language (e.g. "EN" on Win7 and "ENG" on Win8) not the keyboard so that is why I did not see it.

The question is why is this working fine in Notepad or Word and not in Pmail?
I should be able to select any input language and keyboard combination and get the correct result (as I do in other apps).
Seems Pmail is converting keystrokes based on Input Language while it should not.

So, for anyone else bumping into this issue - make sure the Input Language matches Keyboard Layout else Pmail will over-recode international characters.

Thank you all for jumping in! Without you I would still be bumping my head :)  I owe you a

Okay we're covered.....thanks a lot! appreciate  [:D]

Thanks again Brian, worked like a charm
