I was imagining the case of a girl-friend's message, and it occurred to me that I would like to see a nice photograph opening along the message's window.

Then it occurred to me that, for any kind of contact, it could be useful to have the individual identity card from the address book opening, without the whole address book. For example to have the phone number immediately at hand.

Sorry about that. It's not default on mine but it was an update install.

I confirm it should be unchecked by default, and the text should be "Add attachment info...".

I even doubt its usefulness at all. I don't know any mail client, local or online, which will not succeed displaying the attachment by itself.

What you say is right and to a certain extent enlightening: the New Mail folder is the built-in Last Mail folder, and consequently it would be unelegant to add another folder with the same function.

My problem arises when messages disappear from the New Mail folder due to reception rules, and when reception rules folders are too numerous to be seen all at once. In that situation I have a new message without an indication of new message directly on the screen, which is always bad for a mail client. The solution you suggest is to make reception rules applicable only when folder is closed, which is very clever indeed: Messages would be visible in chronological order in New Mail folder, and after that archived in the reception rules folders. That would be the most elegant and close to perfection. ( BTW, closing Pmail is out of question, in orthodox windows programming at least, so I assumed you meant closing folders. )

However, why should I be forced to close New Mail folder? If I have a reception folder for discussion list [scubadiving], I want to be able to open Scuba Diving folder at once without closing New Mail.

More deeply now, New Mail folder was my Last Mail folder until I learned to use reception rules. I now use specific reception folders so extensively that New Mail has become more like Primitive Mail. More precisely, it is Unexpected Mail at the top, and Unclassified Mail at the bottom.

Maybe there are simpler solutions. For example the Folders Window could show a big New Mail icon after each POP retrieval. Or a different top bar color until I have scrolled down. Or both.

Or a new Folders window with only the relevant folders. So there would be two Folders windows: one for Folders with New Mail, one for all archived mail.

Or we could start the other way round and right-click on a folder: Warn me when there is New Mail in this folder. That would perhaps be convenient, since I don't absolutely have to read mail from discussion lists immediately, but I do have to read mail from individual clients. Or maybe "Open this folder in a new window of its own whenever there is new mail." That would create a third window and would remain consistent with the rest.

Please Add back the File Menu option to change user accounts.  

It was there in 4.41 and prior versions as long as I can remember.........

While I was able to create a new toolbar.pm to add this as a choice...

I'm habit stuck in YEARS worth of keyboard commands for a feature no loner

supported in the 4.5 version.

Thanks

Sigh... Maybe an image will be more explicit :

Maybe to celebrate version 5 there could be a new flying horse image.

I imagine for instance a very simplified horse figure in vector graphics. Maybe manga style.

Maybe a black Pegasus on light green background. Why not? That would look kiwi.

In the pop options window, maybe it would be good to have a "Check every x minutes" field added to the seconds field.

It would avoid the user calculating the number of seconds to make it 15 minutes for instance.

If this feature already exists and I was simply too dumb to find it, please point me to the correct place where I can discover it.

Nope, I don't think I was too dumb, but I simply remembered problems from older versions and therefore never dared to change the "Address completion" settings in my PMAIL options.

To answer my own question, make sure that "recently-used addresses" is UNCHECKED and "addressbooks" is CHECKED.

Text entered in notepads doesn't wrap. When you try to print a notepad, if you have a line that is too long, it is not reformatted and you are not warned. Minor thing but surely it could use the current margins/character width set in the message reader or message formatting options pages?

I pasted a section from a long e-mail into a notepad in order to print just that part but lost large parts of the copy when it ran off the side of the printed page.

Both of you, thanks!

I'll have a try for this solution....

Cheers!

Hello,

sorting a folder's messages currently ignores the message date altogether. Thus, when I want to collect all messages with a certain subject, I cannot browse through them in chronological order.

Example:

The original message is highlighted with the blue bar. A later message appears below it. Above of the original message are more, but they are also not in chronological order. The timezone offset for all these e-mails is the same. It also does not matter whether I sort by date first, and then by subject. In fact, the above order comes up no matter how I had the e-mails organized prior to the sort (name, date sorts; select).

I would like to have the original message furthest below, and then the subsequent e-mails in order above that e-mail.

Thank you and have a good Sunday (I'm off to the dim sum now...)

edit: I should add that this particular folder contains 3681 messages.

Then maybe you should consider:

Rule 1  Subject line:  "Undeliverable"

Rule 2   Received from: line   any of your ip address block

Action    pass message on to the sender (in your domain) as your user should be told a recipient to their message does not exist.

Hi Martin,

Whilst your suggestions are all valid, I would agree with Tony that having the proposed functions in a more explicit way (specifically the ability to flag emails in the inbox) would be tremendously helpful. I am forced to use Lotus at work and have started appreciating the "flagging" function, despite it being extremely rudimentary.

Also, the "alarm" function / pop-up of emails when their due date arises would be excellent to have - at present, I use a "post-it" / "stickies" program to have that functionality outside my email, requiring me to create new postits for emails as and when required. Having that functionality in Pmail would make life a lot easier (especially as the majority of postits in my life are related to emails...)

I understand your concern around Pmail becoming a PIM at a time when its key strengths lie in being an email programme; nonetheless, I believe that these aspects are on a blurred border line of "convergence" of different software requirements for users.

Regards,

Rolf

Hi, this is a negative reply.

In your last post (November 2007) you said it was your last post on the forum, because of the users and because "Communication is not fluid enough here".

You said you were waiting for the next version of Pegasus Mail, now you say that the version 3 is enough for you.

You seem to not know what you say.

That's great news :)

Repeating a suggestion I made by email about 3 years ago, in case it might be feasible in the latest Mercury ...

 
It would be really handy to be able to specify a fall-back SMTP server address or addresses in MercuryE. It doesn't have to be anything particularly fancy - simply add the specified address(es) to the end of the list of MX addresses for each outgoing message, so that if all the MXs are unavailable or refuse the message (a common problem with blanket blacklisting of private IP addresses by some large ISPs), then the message would be sent instead via (say) my ISP's mail relay.

Thanks Martin,
That's one good option I haven't thought about ... [;)]
However, what I have in mind would be an additional option maybe created under the Tools -> Option -> Outgoing mail header (or maybe even added under -> Signatures) allowing attachment options to be defined and named, similarly to the signatures options, which then can be set as default or selected/de-selected when a new message is being created (see screenshot). I personally would find that to be very handy :-)
Cheers

I agree, this should be fixed, if possible; otherwise they can remove the "Send now" button from the Draft Manager.

I first saw this some 7 years ago, when I lost a few copies, and it's still the same in version 4.52. Perhaps I should be happy I didn't stumble on it during the 10-11 years before that.[;)]

However, one simple workaround is to open the saved message in the Draft manager and click Send from within the message editor window.

Hi 'lazy leukocyte'
I agree that linked folders are an interesting and good concept and I hope that the PM team may find some more time to further work on this feature. I started using linked folders very frequently, however I stoped using linked folder altogether as there seems to be another error when the original folder or email is being moved (not deleted) , e.g. as part of restructuring of the folder tree, then the link to that email in the linked folder breaks making the whole concept unusable for me. Link to my January posting on this issue below.
Any news related to linked folder from the developing team?
Cheers
Thomas
