Greetings all!  After using PMail for about 10 years, I am as enthusiastic about it as ever.  Thanks, David.

In PMail 4.41, I have found the abovementioned functionality useful towards easily ensuring that the address in my addressbook is still valid, for a correspondent from whom I receive mail only at intervals.  If I have hit "Reply" on a newly received email from such correspondent, this sender's address will appear in the "To:" space as in the received email.  I can then type my alias for this person into the "Cc:" space, and hit Shift_F3;  this brings up the full address currently in my addressbook, and I can compare that with the address in the "To:" space.

Consequently, I will value it if this functionality can be established in PMail 4.5x (I confess that I have not yet looked at 4.52).  But I am aware that there may be other priorities.

Paul and Olaf,
Thanks for you replies and tests!
The only 'real' problem or error occurs when you try to lift that hyphenated email address out of that malformatted address entry (with out < ... >) e.g. using right mouse button. ... By the way, this is the first time I have noticed it in all the years [;)] ... but just wanted to mention it.
Cheers
Thomas

By the way, for the future, if/when the whole address-book binary format changes, it would be really handy to have a simple command line address book import feature available.

No, maybe just my non-standard typing! I guess if it is happening to others, they won't know what happened or will write it down to "must be more careful next time" and so not mention it. It happened a lot of times before I mentioned it here.

I'm assuming the "double dialog box" bug is easy to replicate on other systems.

PS I just found the "enable email subscription" button on this forum and clicked it - I was wondering how to enable that. I should get replies now.

If you are replying to a message, there is an option to skip the original parts that are marked with "> " but you probably already know that. When forwarding that is not an option because those markers are not inserted.

If you are not already doing so, might I suggest that you start to "snip" messages that you reply to or forward? This means taking the time to edit out any parts of the original which are no longer relevant to the current conversation. This might include headers with mail addresses and earlier messages in the thread history. This would leave far less for the spellchecker to stall on.

Many people don't edit their messages like this but it is the way it used to be done "back in the day", before the internet was mainstream and when a large e-mail took a while to download. Shorter message = smaller file size = faster transfer.

Perhaps you should turn off the automatic spellchecking and only use it manually on messages that aren't going to cause this issue.

Anyway, after all that, you may have gathered that the answer to your question is "no". Sorry.

Example 1  just needs a general rule, which allow for testing the age of messages,  and an action of Delete  if older than that. In your case you will need to combine two rules:  a: if sender is movie house email address AND b: if age greater than 7 days, then action is Delete from Folder.  These rules apply to folders so you should have already Move'd the messages from the Movie house email address into a folder.

Did you mistype, the latest version at the download site is v4.52 (Windows).[/quote]

Come on, if it's been added in version 4.10 in 2003 does this mean it's been removed since then - especially as you say you've seen the respective dialog in the latest version? My English can't be that bad ...

And maybe you better try TLS as well, providers don't always make a difference here, but there is one!

I fully agree notifications from Public Folders are something completely different compared to notifications from the regular new mail folder. Your subsciption idea indeed sounds good, could even be a nice feature for regular folders. But I can imagine this is not an small, easy thing to build...

Would have to disagree with  the first item:

What version of Windows? Each has a different file format and fields, would be problematic to say the least.

Malware havesting of your addressbook (bad thing)

 

As for items 2 and 3 IIRC David is already working on the next level of both the addressbook and low level (fileformat/index) of the mailstore.

[quote user="danost"]This time there are results from the crash, in the debugger.  This

includes 5 files, including the message that caused the crash.  I can't find a way on this site to send those files to you, please tell me how to do so[/quote]

The debugger usually creates an autosaved Pegasus Mail message which should simply be sent to the beta-reports address supplied therein. But you may send it to idw.doc[at]t-online.de instead.

Super!  Thanks much.

BTW - I understand the logic of mimicking Outlook (due to its widespread use), but it's a little sad that Outlook sets the standard for mail clients.

It is very creative, what you propose. [<:o)]

I wrote "I have the same identity for a very long name on different mail servers".

Thank you for your help, but your proposal does not meet my expectations.

I just would like to see a longer name and identity to the names that were identical to those addresses. It's everything and nothing else.

Regards.
