[quote user="Marcus"]Can you turn off the this alert when you want to discard a new message when you haven't even typed anything? Thanks

No you cannot. 

If you keep your messages reverse-sorted by date, the new messages will come in at the top and everything will be in correct sort order.

Messages marked "urgent" floating to the top, or using the setting "sort unread before read" will slightly skew the list, but it's a lot better than having half your new mail at the top and half at the bottom.

Try it, you might be surprised how quickly you get used to it... it's not as cool and sophisticated as fancy grouping & threading, but it works!

I would like to translate pegasus to my langague.

thanks. 

Up! Sorry but I found the message above irrelevant to the problem I noticed.

At the moment I am on some lists the only one adding "Re:" before "

", which I correct manually in order to keep in coherence with mail server.

 Isn't there a way to make "Re:" float and adapt to the list's choice? Or simply adopt the "Re:" after "

"? 

Up! Sorry but I didn't fully understand the relevance of the message above to the problem I noticed.

At present clicking on the first "Mail filtering rules" would be enough for me, and then deciding the other actions on specific tabs of the new window, if needed. 

Up! Sorry but I found the message above irrelevant to the problem I noticed.

I still think it is useful to reduce the number of steps, and consequently add a New Folder button as early as possible. 

When trying to develop an "online democracy" in some non-profits, I found a major reluctance from people who would complain that their "mailbox was flooded". It soon appeared that they were unable to create filters by themselves.

Therefore, in such cases, it would have been useful to send them a "configuration file": I click on Export, I am presented with a choice of the filters to export, and for import the new user is also presented with a choice of the filters to import. 

For more advanced users, that would speed up config in the case for instance of an individual joining an organization with many thematic newsletters. 

I still still think that displaying the search results in the folders windows will be confusing for new users, and will worsen Pmail's reputation of clogged or clumsy interface.

It should be an option at most. Usually there is no need to see searches in the interface when there is no search. Unwanted info is noise.

Same here!  I thought I was the only one experiencing this weirdness! (running Win2k, SP4).

I suppose we should move this discussion to Support....but I could not resist responding, as I previously thought I was the only one with this problem!

Up! This one is from last year, but I think it's important since it's almost a bug.

Once you have that new message filename (it will be in the format ????????.CNM), use a text editor like Notepad to open that file.  Look for the Date: header entry.  That is the information Pegasus Mail uses to display Date/Time. [/quote]

Got it! I didn't realize that the entire file needs to be opened and edited. I thought it could just be changed with a Change Attributes program when right-clicking on the file. I tested it and it works. If it's a large file with attachments though it would probably take quite some time to open by Notepad or Wordpad.

 "Note:  You can view the Date: header from within Pegasus Mail using the Raw view tab. No editing from there though." I noticed that and realized it cannot be edited from there.

Thank you for your assistance and for taking the time to explain it thoroughly.

Thank you for that information. I've printed that onto a card and posted it next to the computer.

Strat

Thank you, I didn't see that option.

when searching in one or more folders the result is found in a search result folder - isn´t that exactly the same function ?

For filter rules I miss the metacharacters like Mercury or must complex like

{n,m} min to max mach

^ string start

$ string end

best regards!

have a look at the pegasus help: chapter - Browsing mail - Public (System-wide) Folders

if you need more information - ask ! these folders are easy to use and rock solid, because each mail is it´s own file and the folder really IS a folder in the disks directory structure.

Funnily enough, I never thought of that, but it should be triivially easy to do, and I agree it would be useful.

When you see messages on the forums indicating that v5 is in fullscale development, please remind me about this

Cheers!

Hi!

When pmail first asks for network config (directly after installation), it should not only ask for pop3, but also for imap. Otherwise users see pop3 only and can't easily find out that Pegasus Mail can do imap.

Each imap config should have an optional own smtp config, because it's often important to send email out from the correct account.

For privacy reasons there should be a config option to NOT store any imap mailbox contents in cache on local hard disk.

Also for privacy reasons when smtp authentication is activated but only userid stored, no password, the program should ask for the password, as it does when no imap password was entered. Instead it tries to authenticate with an empty password. The smtp password is often the same as the imap password. I don't want that to be stored on local hard disk.

Also I often get error messages when trying to open another imap folder from the same server later in a session, that only go away when I stop and restart pmail. Is this a known bug that will be fixed?

Klaus

Actually, thinking about this you already have similar functionality.

If you run Pegasus in multi-user mode you have to enter a password to access the program, so I guess that's the same.

my bad... doh [:D]
