Move all of the *.CNM files out of the new mail directory and try again.  It should now open normally.  You can then put the messages back one at a time until you find the problem message.  

It's probaby going to be a really large message.  If you are using content control then I'd recommend that you set a limit on the message size so you are not scanning these large files with encoded attachments.

1.    Use  Tools | Spam and content controls | Content control...

2.    Select and edit the control definition

3.    Select the "Message tests" tab.

4.    Enter 8000 in "Check at most this many bytes in each message"

Ok, I am not computer literate and when I run into any glitches, I usually have to wait until my son comes to visit me to fix them  Here's what happened.  My son asked me to scan an article in a magazine I have about China Hackers & to email it to him - which I did - but it must have been too big of a file because I received a message that my ISP rejected the email & sent it back to me & now my Pegasus Email program is stuck on  "Opening New Mail Folders" and it's been like that for the last 30 minutes.  What do I do?  I have the 4.4 version by the way.
