PM not saving desktop layout under Win 7

Maybe you need to find out yourself: IIRC the associated configuration data are saved in the respective Pegasus Mail user's mailbox directory (not sure whether new mail or home mail if they are different, see Help => About Pegasus Mail => Info screen for paths) in a file named STATE.PMJ (a simple text file). It should be easy enough to figure out whether changes in Pegasus Mail are saved to this file or not, you may even rename, move or delete it temporarily for seeing any effects. Next step would be to find out why data are not stored if so ...

Hi,

New to the forums, but have been using PM for 10 years or so now.

Under Win 7, if I adjust column widths in the New Mail folder, when PM is opened again, these new widths have not been saved.  Under XP it works OK.  Is this something to do with Win 7?

I have ticked the "save the Pegasus Mail desktop state between sessions" in the Options.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

Ian

Where did you install Pegasus Mail? See this post for issues which may lead to Pegasus Mail not saving/finding its settings.

Micheal,

PM has been installed on a separate partition to Win7.  Totally separate to Program Files etc.  Did a similar thing on the XP box.

Any more thoughts?

Ian.
