Quick follow up:  the gmail problem has, ehh, disappeared, stopped?!   No software has been installed or removed.  I have done nothing since my last post.  I have no clue what happened here.  Be well.

Thanks again, Martin. Fortuantely, they were NOT saved in the New Mail folder. That would have been a disaster - 46,000+ other files where they would be lost for sure.They went to a TEMP folder, of course, not one of the many TEMP folders that I knew about. But, certainly better than the New Mail folder.

 The big drawback for my purposes was the inability to display To, From, Subject and Date, so I am painstakingly renaming each file to make it more identifiable without having to open it. A spreadsheet will contain the details of each file. Not a particularly pretty solution, but a solution nonetheless. Thank you for your utility. It was worth a hundred times... no, a thousand times the cost.

I have manually split files before, but there is no way I would have done it with this mess. By the way, did I say "Thank you?"

The default SPAMBust.dat is created for English speaking areas not for the German site.

I don't need those rules.

I guess it is time wasting to check all rules without result in a German spam mail.

I only need one rule to activate the blacklist. I explained it in a post above. So I check the subject. That is faster as a check of the body. ;O))

The rules in the default SPAMBust.dat are good to learn the syntax, but nothing more.

That is the disadvantage when a program is translated to other languages.

Thank you, Brian. Did the trick. Much appreciated. Lydia

Have you tried accessing the actual document once it has been saved?? Maybe it doesn't show the extension because you have the setting as hidden, but you'll still be able to access it. You can manually change or add the extension though, this might help:

This is definetely not an issue. This ackward windows explorer behaviour of hiding extensions and system files does not fool me :)  I actually use TotalCommander for browsing the file system.

A sample of the generated email follows below.

Message will remain

available for 3-5 days after which it will be deleted...

DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN THE "SUBJECT" LINE OR

THE "TO" LINE...

I searched the Pegasus files  on both computers and I don't have any .PNV files.

Answering your second question first:  Yes they must be in 8.3 format ie  a1234567.cnm

Now to answer your first question.  If the messages are not in the correct naming format, you should still be able to download them via FTP or some other tool   Required fields are simply:  From: To: Subject: Date: Mime: Content-type Content-encoding:     there are others but not as important

Body text follows first blank line

Have been using Pegasus for about 15 years and love it (and have supported it).

Recently a problem cropped up. The situation:

Running 4.7, just today upgraded from 4.6; makes no difference.

I have options set to Ask at send time where to put copy to self.

Recently, ie for about the past month, sometimes (but not always) when replying to a msg, after indicating where to put the copy to self, the system ALSO puts one (or sometimes more than one) copy of the message in my (imap) INBOX folder.

I can of course simply delete these, but I'd rather find out what might be wrong that's making this happen.

I have no copy-to-self rules.

Any ideas/suggestions?

thanks

[quote user="Neil Fraser"]Ticking the "For replies to HTML, preserve original's formatting" makes no significant difference, especially where the original text is contained in a <table> as appears to be the case quite often.[/quote]

Take a look at the final message which will look quite different from what it looks like in the editor. You can do so by copying the queued message to another folder (Delete messages, e.g.) which will apply the final formatting.

Rob thank you for posting this as I did the same thing and without your comments I would still be trying to figure it out duh~!  It was me~! Now I remember dragging it down to read a long list of recipients and copying them and guess I forgot to drag it back up. blush.

The solution is here http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/26764.aspx. I found it thanks to this community.

It sounds like the option is enabled that reports the message count but does not download them.  It is located on the General tab of the POP3 host configuration.

As far as the large message download problem, someone else recently reported what sounds like the same problem.  No solution has been posted though.  Here is the thread: 

A forum search on "large message download" will produce numerous other threads on this issue.

Can't answer your question. Inspected a PHC where the first two entries are colored red. I can't see any systematic pointing to be the colorentry.

Thank you; I very much appreciate the effort you went to in trying to find a solution.

As the messages were individually selected for their importance from

their content (ie not by rules), those suggestions won't work here.

I realize there may be no simple solution, but I'm willing to do some work (eg decoding file formats) to recover this.

Surely something (perhaps each message folder?) is keeping track of message header colors, yes? Otherwise how could header colors be maintained across multiple sessions of using the program (which they clearly are)?

thanks again for your efforts.

PS In case it's relevant, I have been using 4.63

Success! Thank you VERY much!

I have now got DAVMAIL working on the server with Mercury POP3 Client.  It looks as if setting up accounts for each user still wanting to stick with Pegasus or other clients should be no problem at all.

For my money, it is a session time limit that is tripping. 

I would suggest first to limit the downloading to small messages. Go to Internet Options in menu Tools and select Receiving POP3 . Click Edit on your active profile name.Then click Download Controls tab.  Once there on the item "Do not download > n bytes" enter a value like 50000, and for the default action at the bottom of the screen click "Leave on server".

Restart Pegasus Mail and attempt a normal email download. All your normal messages should get downloaded ok.   Then using Selective Download (from menu File/Selective download) select one message at a time with "Mark" and "Retrieve" (do not click Delete option). If you get a problem, that will indicate the problem message.  Repeat till all messages have been downloaded.  Don't forget to undo, the download size limit and default action set above, and use Selective download to Delete all the messages selectively downloaded.

HTH

 Martin.

Did you try closing and reopening the preview window or restart Pegasus Mail?

With the message highlighted you should see a traffic light icon that tells you if it has been classed as spam (red light) or passed as ok (green light).

Click on the traffic icon and try reclassifying the message.

Cheers.
