4.5.1 Buffer Overrun Detected

Hi,

I often experiment this king of problem. First the message counter in one of my IMAP folder disappears (normally the iNBOX), then Pegasus states there was an error on the IMAP server and afterwards I get a MS C++ Runtime Library stating that there was a buffer overrr.

I normally restart PMAIL, reconnect to the IMAP server, right click on the INOBX fodler (or the one on which I have the problem) and clear both the header and body cache, then a reindex the folder and the problem is solved.

Sometimes, like today, this solution doesn't work and PMAIL contunies to crash.

In this situation I used to access my IMAP server via a web client move a substantial amount of messages from the INBOX folder to another one and hope that PMAIL is able to reindex the faulting folder. Of course I will prefer to have a "real solution".

Is the use of the mbxmaint.exe and check and reindex the faulting folder teh "real solution"?

Thanks, regards

While using autofiltered folders in Winpm 4.5.1, the following error was encountered while updating one of the autofiltered folders:


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                 Buffer Overrun Detected


A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state.  This program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Upon restart of Pegasus, the error repeats upon any update of an autofiltered folder (including attempting to disable autufiltering for a folder).  When Pegasus is restarted again, the requested action appears to have been performed successfully even though the program crashed.


I have uninstalled Pegasus mail and reinstalled the program and the problem persists, so I assume the problem is somewhere in the mailbox.  Is there a file associated with autofiltering that I can reset which will probably eleviate the problem?

Did you try reindexing the folder (or any other of the maintenance functions) via context menu (right-click on the folder and go to the bottom section of the menu)? There's also an external application do maintain folders called mbxmaint.exe in Pegasus Mail's executable directory (the one containing winpm-32.exe), you need to shutdown Pegasus Mail for using it, though.
