Hi folks,
maybe not really a bug but annoying...

Situation:
I have a slow connection and therefore have a POP3-filter leaving mails on server if greater 100k and displaying a message about.
After gotten this message I do a 'selective download' and mark only this messages to download I really want to read and click 'do it now'.
Now the status-line shows up 'POP3-Identifying messages...' but indead download has started - I can see this watching the RxD-light on my modem.

What I want:
I would like showing the status-line 'xx% of message y' as it does during standard-download so that I can decide to continue or cancel and resume later when I have more time to wait for a very long message (mosty large documents I can download over night).

I think that's only a problem in the order of sending text to the status-line...

Alternatively I would like to have another filter making: Just download nnn (user-chooseable) lines and leaving the mail on the server so you can read the start of the message and can decide if you want the remainder too or not.

Hmm, and how do I so?

I've not found any option to move or copy rules from one set to another?[/quote]

That's right ... there is no option like that. But it's no problem, because alle rulefiles are simple textfiles:

• Create that "general rule set" but leave it empty (simply save). Click on rename and you'll see the corresponding filename for that ruleset in lower right of the subwindow. Filename is RULExxxx.PMC
• Close Pegasus
  
•  The "new mail filtering rules" for the inbox of Pegasus reside in your mailbox-directory in file WINRULES.PMC. The file for general ruleset is in same directory.
• Edit both files and copy content of WINRULES (without first line with "nodisplay:...") to RULExxxx (after the titelline!). Save them.
• Open Pegasus and apply ruleset to folders
• done

Lyman,

I am computer consultant and I have used Pegasus Mail since the days of PMail for DOS.  I can provide remote support for Pegasus Mail problems.  Email me privately at angus@geoapps.com or call my Google Voice number at 520-890-3270.

The ruleset will only be exited, if the triggering rule will manipulate the mail so that the mail won't remain in that folder after manipultion. Logical in this case there is no need to process further rules.

Sorry ... I'm normaly using CALL, not GOTO. Otherwise it won't be possible  to go back with RETURN from LABEL to "mainrules". Didn't remember because translated it from german Pegasus.

 P.S. GERMAN: Da ich wegen deines Namens annehme, dass du Deutsch sprichst: wenn du im deutschen Teil des Forums auf deutsch fragst, gibt es auch eine native Antwort :-)

Hi,

I am using my regular port 110 POP3 accounts as follows:

Under Tools->Internet Options->Receiving POP3->

I have defined 2 accounts with following details:

--- 

Definition Name      Server host name         user name  pswrd  TCP/IP port

Rediffmail-User-1    pop.rediffmail.com        abc            def      110

Rediffmail-User-2    pop.rediffmail.com        uvw            xyz     110

---

Now while checking for the mail, PM displays "POP3: Connecting to pop.rediffmail.com" for both User-1 and User-2 accounts. It displays only Server host name of that account.

It will be useful displaying Definition Name instead of "POP3/SMTP" along with Server host name - something like

"Rediffmail-User-1: Connecting to pop.rediffmail.com"

"Rediffmail-User-1: Getting message list"

"Rediffmail-User-1: Downloading message 1 of 10 - %"

"Rediffmail-User-2: Connecting to pop.rediffmail.com"

and so on.

Same for SMTP process. 

Thanks & Regards,

Rad. 

Just wondering if you have explored the :Expression option in the new mail filters to sort your mail. Even if you can set some rules up, it could save on the number of remaining messages you need to move manually.

This isn't to say that your feature request isn't unreasonable though.

Cheers

As I have 500 odd folders, I don't wish to keep all of my trays open. I do keep some "common" trays open, but those that rarely get new mail, I generally keep them closed.

So if the parent tray went bold (as per my options)  if a child folder gets new mail, then it would be easy to see any new mail filtered there so that I know to open that closed tray to find that mail.

It's not such a bit problem with funnel filtering as I can check the System Messages window, but as the auto filtering (which will hopefully be fixed soon) there is no easy way to find out if any new filtered mail ended up in closed trays.

Thank you.

Cheers.

ok, thank you very much

[quote user="WarriorLite"]Could it be only me who used the function? [/quote]

A simple would have shown you that you're not the only one and would have revealed to you the reasons for removing it (it was broken), alternative solutions and that it won't ever come back ...

Thank you for that.

Would you believe I actually went through each of the options today, but stopped about three quarters of the way through when I came across something that I wanted to follow up on. And I didn't get back to going through the rest of them.

I'll make a point to finish going through the rest of the options immediately.

Cheers.

[quote user="Cat009"]Please include the possibility with Pegasus's Option menu to stop Pegasus automatically switching to the browser when a URL is opened.[/quote]

From the What's new ... ? section of Pegasus Mail's help file for the upcoming v4.62:

As well, you can now Ctrl+Click on any link in a message to open that link in your web browser without bringing the browser to the foreground. This allows you to open a succession of links then work with them when you're ready.

 Aside from this IERenderer already provides this feature

for HTML messages

in .

4.61 is in it's last days. 4.62 is due out any time now.

Cheers.

Is there or wil there ever be a calendar to use with Pegasus? Preferably one calendar for mutiple users, so everybody can use it on a network. Maybe even be able to send appointments to each other with Pegasus? The calendar should also be used without Pegasus of course.

Thanks.

Read this for a bit on the future of pegasus which includes updates to the address book.

Hello Pegasorum:

I have, on occasion, asked whether there can be an easy Archiving system established in Pegasus.

 A good while ago, Steeley posted:[quote user="Steeley"]Over the years I have accumulated quite a large number of folders and

"old mail" that, rather than dump to a text file, it would be quite

handy to "archive" and remove from the default indexing at start-up and

automatic listing in the folder view.

The way I'd envision it working is to create an archive section, pick

the drive and location for the archive (not necessarily the Pegasus

working drive), and then create, copy, and/or move individual

folders and their messages into the archive.

This way if I need to pull up an old email record, I can do it from

within Pegasus, click on Archive, find the folder (if I have to wait

while it's mounted, that's fine..)... [/quote]and

[quote user="Steeley"] However, while digging through the technical support section and earlier

suggestions, I've discovered several others making similar requests,

and David making mention last summer of consideration after the Mercury

release. Such as that is, it appears it is neither a feature in a

currently-available Pegasus, nor a unique (nor ignored) suggestion.

Hence we should put it in the "not yet" category and all that

it implies. [/quote]

Ideally, I would like to drag my folder "Clients2009", ( with dozens of Folders within Folders within folders, and  scores of messages and their associated attachments within those folders) and drop the whole caboodle over to the Archive folder. It would then be out of the rather large collection of things that have to be currently loaded and unloaded every time that I open up Pegasus. Actually, I have Main Folders like that one going back almost 10 years...

 I am wondering, now that the Mercury development has reached the end of

its current v4's, if this request has bubbled up from the "maybe" to the

"about-to-be-included' list of features?

 Or, should I give up on this one, and try Mailbag Assistant or some other solution?

The solution is very simple: in accordance with the RFCs the sending mailprogramm should place doublequotes around any dsiplayname where i.e. a character for adressing (comma, point, @, (, ), <, >, doublequote) is in (-> mask special characters). In addition every header must consist of 7bit-characters. Examples:

Olaf <email@domain>
Olaf Erkens <email@domain>

"Erkens, Olaf" <email@domain>

=?iso-8859-1?Q?Wei=DF?= <email@domain>

"=?iso-8859-1?Q?Dr._Ganz_Wei=DF?=" <email@domain>

So the answers:

1. not always
2. comma seperate mailadresses and must be masked as part of displayname
3. did'nt test that, because have no mailreader or even webmailer not putting doublequotes around any displayname; problem is IMHO, that missing doublequotes - if seen - todays are most times with due to non-ASCII encoded addressfields; the encoding doesn't AFAIK make quotation obsolete
4. If there is a comma, Pegasus will

The Custom Header uses the LOCAL sending time when token "~T" is used. (v4.61 on XP-SP3)

This is confusing!

Could this be changed or another token be introduced?

Example -

I was wondering whether it would be possible for Pmail to show that the keyboard is in overwrite mode.

Cheers!

More often than not, the quoted email text does not format cleanly, with odd line breaks which appear to result from long line wrapping.

While Ctrl_J usually reformats the quoted text, it can be a pain where the text is quite lengthy.

I have found that changing the font size to, say 10pt (where I use 12pt as standard for my outgoing emails) fixes this problem entirely.  Also I find the small font size reduces the 'importance' of the quoted text in terms of visual effect.

My suggestion is therefore to allow a feature that sets the point size of the quoted text, which may then be different to the point size chosen for normal text.

If you already have the image or pattern in a format Pegasus likes, start a new message, on the bar just above the message, click the icon second from the right (mountain with sun), add wallpaper.

Should do as you request.
