Hello:

I have been using Pegasus Mail for the last 25+ years.
Being able to run it in a Linux box under Wine was the deal breaker for my permanent move away from MS software over ten years ago.

Always worked perfectly and reliably, to the extent that I still run the 32-bit 4.70 version, never an issue.

But that does have a drawback: the absence of problems over the years has meant that I have developed little or no practise in Pegasus mail problem solving.

To the point:

My Devuan Linux system runs with a two card / three monitor setup and today the right monitor went south.
One of my two old but reliable SyncMaster 940n monitors finally gave up the ghost.

As a temporary replacement, I set up an also dated but practically unused Phillips 1024*768 P150S but now I find that when I start Pegasus Mail it is nowhere to be seen.

I know it starts because if I shut down the system and reboot, on restarting Pegasus Mail I get the usual 'in use' warning meaning that I shut down the system without properly closing it, so it was open albeit not visible to me.

I understand that Pegasus Mail registers its last position on screen when closed and opens in that same position when opened again, but that position (within the right monitor) is no longer valid which is probably why I cannot see it.

How can I edit / delete the registered position so that it will open where I can see it?

This is Pegasus Mail under Wine in a Linux box, so no Windows (?) so
solutions will apply.

Edit:

I made a back-up copy of /home/userid/.wine/drive_c/PMAIL/MAIL/ADMIN/state.pmj, deleted the original and restarted Pegasus Mail.

The only thing that changed was the position (from left monitor to centre monitor) of the start up screen (with the usual mailbox locked notice).

But that was all.
I still cannot see Pegasus Mail.

Thanks in advance.

Best,

S.

Think the PMAIL.INI has lines that specify the windows location.
Lots of them, but many show setting of 0 0 0 0

So don't see anything of pegasus?

What happens if you run wine winecfg from terminal window?
Backup PMAIL.INI before trying change things.

In Windows, prior to Windows 11, a right-click in the taskbar gave an option to "Cascade windows". This brought all open windows onto the primary monitor. Don't know about wine though.

@msetzerii is on the right track with his mention of PMAIL.INI. The entry is:

Application window rectangle =

To the right of the equal sign will be four numbers that identify the saved location and size of the Pegasus Mail main window. With Pegasus Mail closed, and PMAIL.INI backed up, edit PMAIL.INI changing the value of this entry to something like "= 0 0 800 400" (no quotes). Save the change, close the file, then start Pegasus Mail. You should see the main window tight top left on the primary monitor. Expect to have to resize it along with any child windows you normally have open.

And with that data I was able to fixed the problem. 8^)

Backed up PMAIL.INI, deleted the original and started Pegasus Mail, which found itself within the primary monitor where I centered it to my liking and then shut it down.

I then checked the newly generated PMAIL.INI file, copied its Application window rectangle = values to the backed up file, renamed it back and that was it.

I can now see my Pegasus Mail again.

Thank you very much to both for such a quick and helpful reply.
Much appreciated.

Best,

S.
