A feature request when performing a selective mail download (ie, retrieving headers)

Is it possible for this routine to check within mailing lists / address book and assigning a known/not known identifier to each person in the list?

I like the option to insert a signature at the time of message creation, but would like even more if I could select which signature to insert for each message.  Maybe an "insert now" checkbox next to the signature selection dropdown on the new message window or, better yet, an option to "automatically insert upon selection"  (My wife's Mac has an option like this on the Mac mail program.)

Two options (none really great but works)

1) If you 'redirect' or bounce forward with new subject it will do as you request.

2) move to local Inbox, this will make it a .cmn file that can be edited via a plain text editor. Close Pegasus. Change subject line in text file then save. reopen New mail and move back to IMAP folder.

Both require hands on and takes time.

I agree with Henrik. The fact is that Pmail actually changes the "last update" (not only the "last accessed") timestamp of its mailbox files and sets the Archive attribute on them even when doing just a search on them, ie not changing their contents in any way.

This is annoying because the files appear as having been modified even if they are not, and any decent backup software is therefore going to copy them unnecessarily. (I routinely use "robocopy" but every other copy or backup package gets fooled the same way).

Thank you for 'voting' for my logic  [:)]

Maybe I should take a look at 'robocopy'.

Pegasus saves the folder-IDs of opened folders in IMAP-mailboxes in DESKTOP.PDC (PM461 here).

If I configure an IMAP-mailbox in Pegasus, this file will not be created! Depending on behaviour of IMAP-server only the inbox or the first level of folders will be shown. If I open some folders with subfolders in, close Pegasus and reopen it, Pegasus didn't save the view of opened folders (because DESKTOP.PDC does not exist).

The only way to fix this within Pegasus is to open some folders, disconnect from the IMAP-mailbox and reconnect. Then DESKTOP.PDC will be created and from that point all changes on opened or closed folders in preview-mode will be saved.

Would it need much  programming to fix this to creating DESKTOP.PDC (and FOLDERS.PFC - not shure about that) on creating the IMAP-Profile?

Thanks in advance

Wow super - this seems really to be an option...

Thank you !

BTM:
I nethertheless think it would be a good feature to log the really sending-time too - even not in headers, but somewhere else :) 

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

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.
