Hi,

While receiving mails, the pop server address is displayed at the left bottom corner of status bar.

Can we display mail account name too along with server address to indicate the mail account being processed?

The reason being is:

I am using AVG Anti-virus set up to check mails for my regular pop3 mail account as well as for Gmail, Yahoo!, and Hotmail.

Now, for checking mails from all SSL accounts viz. Gmail, Yahoo!, Hotmail, I have to setup AVG to access actual mail servers and use 127.0.0.1 in Pegasus Mail. Hence while receiving mails from my web-mail accounts, though each account has unique name, PM displays 127.0.0.1 for all three, making it difficult to know which account is being processed.

Thanks & Regards,

Rad.

Can I suggest you put this suggestion in the suggestion thread. It may then get the attention it needs.

How's this supposed to work? If Pegasus Mail doesn't know about the accounts (since you configured it for not knowing) how would it retrieve the information you request? This would probably required it to use an API of the respective AV application (if one exists at all) which would really be a waste of David Harris' resources since I doubt there's a standard API for doing such things with each and every AV application feeling like doing such things (or worse).

Aside from this, why would you want AVG to control your downloads? Every AV scanner usually scans files being accessed by applications on your local machine (if you don't have to disable this because it causes other trouble which we've seen as well in the past) so there's no need to set up your AV scanner the way you did - and aside from this it disables any diagnostics Pegasus Mail could apply when things go wrong for whatever reasons since it wouldn't have control over POP3 access.

Hi idw,

I think I couldn't explain my query correctly on the first go.

Even without AVG in the picture (127.0.0.1 used only for web-mail and it is working fine), I am using my regular port 110 POP3 accounts as follows:

Under Tools->Internet Options->Receiving POP3->

I have defined 2 accounts with following details:

--- 

Definition Name      Server host name         user name  pswrd  TCP/IP port

Rediffmail-User-1    pop.rediffmail.com        abc            def      110

Rediffmail-User-2    pop.rediffmail.com        uvw            xyz     110

---

Now while checking for the mail, PM displays "POP3: Connecting to pop.rediffmail.com" for both User-1 and User-2 accounts. It displays only Server host name of that account.

It will be useful displaying Definition Name (which is already defined for each account) instead of POP3/SMTP along with Server host name - something like

"Rediffmail-User-1: Connecting to pop.rediffmail.com"

"Rediffmail-User-1: Getting message list"

"Rediffmail-User-1: Downloading message 1 of 10 - %"

"Rediffmail-User-2: Connecting to pop.rediffmail.com"

and so on.

Same for SMTP process. 

Thanks & Regards,

Rad.
