Problem: Losing mail folder access on pmail 4.52

I'm not sure the ultimate solution for this. I'm going to chalk it up to trying to run pmail in a non-standard environment.

 What I found as a workaround was to use the option to cascade my windows in pmail and I could then get the folder to reappear. It will still disappear again at some point in my usage but that's a good enough workaround for me.

 Thanks for the help.

I am running 4.52 under a Parallels virtual machine running XP Home on a mac. I've been a pegasus user for years and I'm not quite ready to give it up.

 

The problem I'm experiencing is that I cannot access my mail folders. It started out as an intermittent problem where the folder listbox would just wink out of existence on my screen. Opening the mail folders with Ctrl-L or from the button bar made no difference. Usually if I shut down the vm and brought it back, it would work again.

 

It's now so bad that I can't get to my mail folders at all. I have my mail heavily filtered so very little hits my actual new mail folder. I could take out my filters but that's a lot of work to do for such a quirky problem.

 

Has anyone else seen this or have any suggestions on what I might try to fix it? I was thinking I could downgrade my pmail or do a reinstall but I wanted to check here first.

 

Thanks,

 

Sharyl

I'm not at all familiar with the problem you're experiencing, but as regards your suggestion about taking out your filters, if you suspect that they may have anything to do with the issue, you could just try disabling them. Select them all, right-click and select Enable/disable rule. You can re-enable them in the same way. Hope this helps in any way.

Cheers!
