[quote user="irelam"]PMIcal.exe is a standalone program which is aware of Pegasus Mail through using the Windows Registry for directory locations.  It can be closed at any time without affecting anything else.[/quote]

Understood, and it was closed on the workstation.  Apparently Windows caching held it open on the server as it did with the .dll files.

Hi Martin,

I'm away from home base this week so I can't do much right now.

 Since changing renderer I've not had one crash. Using Bear trying to open almost every message would result in the crash. As would trying to resize the main folder.

When I get back, I can swap back to Bear and see if these problems reoccur. If so, I'll send you the relevant log file.

I'm happy to spend some time on this so as a "cure" can be found.

BTW: IMAP is still being worked on (one of the reasons delaying the release of 5.x).

[quote user="caisson"]I don't have an answer for you, but for what its worth my stock standard installation is significantly slower with this version when checking/downloading.

Yes. My feeling is also that the new version of Pegasus is slower in fetching and sending mails than the previous version. (I use Windows 7 64-bit.)

Update: POP3 definitely worked better in the old version! At the moment it wouldn't fetch new mail although I know that there are 2 new mails.

2. update: I use free Avast antivirus and free Zonealarm firewall.

3. update...: It very much feels like if SMTP has also gotten quite slower.

Try WINSIZE ... but it's not trivial.

Some Contextmenues may display on wrong monitor too.

bye    Olaf

OUTSTANDING!!!!

Any program files or UAC protected location will not work with Pegasus Mail on Vista or later....

Doing things the way Microsoft does or wants will not work with winpm-32 unless UAC is turned off which is a bad idea.

On the contrary, as a matter of observable fact, an installation in Program Files has been working perfectly for me on three machines for several years, and this is with UAC turned on.  I make no claim it would be so smooth if I were running PMail in multi-user mode, but that has long since ceased to be of interest to anyone here.

Anyway, I have now found the answer to my own question. The self-extractor fails to execute the installer because I have prevention installed against the Cryptolocker ransomware, the nastiest malware I have seen since such things first arose in the late 1980s.

 Such prevention against Cryptolocker typically takes the form of a Group or Local Security Policy that prevents executables being invoked anywhere in the %appdata% and %localappdata% hierarchies. As that is the location the self-extractor chooses (for example, C:\Users\< name of current user>\AppData\Local\Temp\WZSE0.TMP), the self-extractor can unpack its files but cannot execute setup32.exe.

Those of you who frequent this place might care to note this for future reference, as I am not the only person, I hope, who has proper defences against Cryptolocker installed and others may report the same issue. 

Rename extension on that file you downloaded to *.zip and then open in win explorer. Extract the dictionary and .aff file to c:\pmail\programs\dicts location making sure dictionary has .dic extension and the other .aff

Then construct a .v5dict file using another one as sample. The name must be correct and same as what is within the .aff file.  The only actual sample I have here was done by another user and he installed a Brazilian Portuguese dictionary.

I am hoping somebody from test team will construct an FAQ on how to download, configure and place dictionaries.

I believe that is the issue that I needed to change a setting on.

I think that has resolved this problem.

Thank you very much for your help.

I will post back if other issues about this occure.

I instaled all previous version to the same folder and there is probably very old configuration...

Many years before I made some changes for Czech characters....

Now I wnat to make clear installation of 4.70 and then copy all old emails, database for spam filter.

How I can do it?

Thank you

Martin

Thank you all for your replies.

Here's an update. (I am so confused now.)

1_ Pegasus Mail 4.63 is working OK.
2_ Update to pmail 4.70.
3_ Unable to send emails using pmail through my hotmail account. I confirm the settings are not touched by the update procedure. Repeated tests fail.
4_ I am able to access hotmail through web interface and send emails using it.
5_ Back to pmail 4.63.
6_ I am able to send emails using pmail again. Still using the same settings as the initial state.
7_ I start this topic in the Pegasus Mail community forum.
8_ Update again to pmail 4.70.
9_ Before I start playing with the settings, I perform a new test. I can successfully send emails! Still, same settings as the initial state.

I have no clear explanation. I wonder if perhaps I accidentally changed something at some point without even noticing.

I will keep using pmail 4.70, unless something “breaks” again. If the problem arises again, I am certainly going to post new questions here.

I am not sure I would/should say this is really solved.

I am certainly intrigued. If anyone has some idea about what is going on (or what happened), I will be glad to hear it.

In any case, I am thankful for your replies (and for Pegasus Mail).

Thank you,
Ady.

Wow, this is good news, especially the fact that the need for using the somewhat laborious workaround of stunnel has been removed. I have recently switched to Linux Mint because of the impending end of Windows XP support and started using Thunderbird, but I'll certainly give Pegasus and Wine another try then. Thanks for the update!

Last night, while researching IE11 print problems some more, the most similar problem to mine was someone with a Brother printer who could print OK from everything but IE11, but got a mix of good and bad with IE11.

Most of the IE11 print problems see to be all or nothing, not a mix of good and bad, and my printer is a Brother.

 One of the reasons I've been trying to print less is that besides having to eventually throw away the printouts, when my toner runs out I need to decide whether to buy another cartridge or buy a new printer. The less I print, the more I prolong this decision (pro-active procrastination).

Whether IE11 by itself can print is of no importance to me, but since that is what IERenderer uses, it does matter, as that is only time IE11 is used for printing.

I've already wasted more paper testing all this than I'd likely be printing this year. So, for now, if I need to print a message, I'll either view it in Firefox, or save it as text, and use my text editor to print it. And maybe when the time comes, I'll buy a more modern non-Brother printer.

This is what I have suspected all along, my main problem is with the ISP, they are TOOOOO big for their own good and a bit if not over AARROOGGAANNTT AND Conceded, they think they can do NOT wrong, I feel they can do NO RITE. NO, will not change to another ISP, too much else need be changed as well and knowing this means it is only a bump in the road. Just ignore this and move on with my next issue, some day Yahoo! will realize their problem.

Thanks to Jerry and caisson for all that you guys have done to try to help with this frustrating situation. Today I had a tech wiz from ATT go into my computer to find a solution and he came away without a clue. It cost me $49.00, which I shouldn't have to pay after their assurances that they would fix the problem. As a result, my family and I decided to switch back to Cox. Not only because I love Pegasus and would hate to use anything else as an email client, but also because ATT falls short in other areas. Their fiber optics internet is slow. The range of their WiFi is pathetic. So, I'm not going to pursue this discussion any further. Instead I'm looking forward to exploring the new features in my favorite email client (which I've been using sine the mid 90s), and eagerly look forward to the next update. I have enough stress in my life, with health problems and don't need to suffer through second rate email programs. I'm staying with what works :-)

Took a minute to do some research in the list of file names and extensions.  Found this info:

This indicates that a message that fails to send should be in the .PMX form and should be visible when reviewing queued mail but not editable.  It then follows that an empty "Review queued mail" list indicates all has been sent.

What you could do is go to File and select Selective download to see if there are any problematic messages (with an excessively large attachment for example) waiting to be downloaded. If there are, you can remove them from the pop server, and download the rest of the messages as normal. Hope this helps.

Thank You! 

It works!

Great!
