MAIL Folder Window not refreshing

It wasn't meant to fix the POP3 issue (I have no idea what might be causing it), it would only help resolving performance issues. BTW: Creating a new thread with an appropriate subject might help in attracting additional forum members ...

Since upgrading to PMAIL 4.63, several "peculiar" things have started happening.  The most annoying is that when I click the icon to read new mail, the status bar at the bottom of the page shows this happening, but the MAIL folder window does not update.  I have to close the MAIL folser window, and click on the Read New Mail drop down under File.  The MAIL window then re-displays with any new mail included.

I am also having problems with using the POP3 selective download option.  For me this is one of the real bonuses of PMAIL, but on this version, when I  the various emails for "retrieve" or "delete" or retrieve and delete", and then click "Make it so",  all hell is let loose!  Sometimes PMAIL just hangs; sometimes after a while it comes back and nothing is changed; sometimes it just returns to PMAIL and nothing happens; sometimes it returns to PMAIL and any one individual email message will have been loaded into the MAIL folder window multiple times.  Occasionally it works fine.

Sometimes, when I delete a message from the MAIL folder window, nothing happens.  If I close the window and reopen it, the file is gone!

Please don't tell me that I need to re-initiate the hierarchy file, I use a VERY large folder structure to save all of email in, and it takes me days to rebuild it!

Do you have more than 750 messages in the new mail folder?  If so you have reached the limit at which the new mail folder no longer refreshes.

Do you have Tools => Options => Advanced settings => Load Windows Internet Services ... set to Always (as it should be in current versions instead of On demand)? You should restart Pegasus Mail after changing this setting.

Brian,

            That might be it.  I* have 850 messages in the Mail Box.  I'll have a clear out and see how it goes.

 

             Many thanks,

                  David T-C.

Brian,

        Many thanks, your suggestion hit the nail on the head!  That has solved the new mail folder not refreshing problem.  Now all I've got to do is find a fix for the flaky POP3 problem!

Michael,

            I still have the problems with POP3.  I do have the settings that you suggest,"Load Windows Internet Services" is set to "Always".  I am now also getting multiple copies of emails arriving in my mail box, but at least I can see what is arriving now.

David.
