Convoluted Install

Is there a checkbox for stopping Pegasus auto-checking for updates?
All PMail is doing is reading the pmail.ini file and if the PMail ini file has got the line saying this is a new install it will trigger this response.  Something on you system is changing the file, what I do not know.   This is not PMail that is doing this.

A professor at my university uses Pegasus.  He recently migrated to an iMac.  In a virtualbox WinXP SP3 install I managed to move his thousands of meticulously maintained Pegasus folders, over to a brand new install of the most recent Pegasus (pretty painless once it was determined some emails lived outside the default structure).  I updated POP3 and/or SMTP settings et cetera and it all worked swimmingly for two weeks.  Folders were deleted, mail sent and received, generally working fine.

 Now it occasionally advertises a new version, and promptly reverts to the initial install settings from the first succesful transfer.  Conceivably this is related to some old number in the ini? In a possibly related issue we see a lot of IMAP errors when sending mail.  Sometimes fine, sometimes not.

How do I find out why it keeps auto updating itself and stop it?  Manually reinstalling Pegasus latest version doesn't do aught.

 

I will attempt to observe this behavior first hand!

Looks like something is bringing back the old pmail.ini file.

I've not had a Mac in years but I do suspect that there is something running that is interfering with Pegasus Mail's access to it files. That said, I do run WinPMail on Linux with Wine and I do not have this problem.

Hello,

 

This weekly behaviour continues.

 

Is there a checkbox for stopping Pegasus auto-checking for updates?
