Pegasus dies on me

[quote user="James Plummer"]

I have been a user of Pegasus for  over 10 years.  Recently I have had this problem, that Pegasus just  crashes . Sometimes I am writing an email, and am in the program for some time and  VROOM  everything crashes and all the information is gone, and Pegasus crashes. I  now have to first write  my email in MSWord, and then copy and paste into Pegasus in case it crashes again. I  saw some reference regarding antivirus that may be causing it. I wrote to Pegasus sometime back, but my email was ignored.

Where did you write?  I can't think of any mail that is ever ignored.
 

Is there any method to fix this inconvenience. Changing from Pegause to another email would set me back years, so i am forced to stick with Pegasus, can anyone help me to solve this problem.

Strange, what version of WinPMail are you using?   In any case, what kind of crash are you getting?  Are there error messages saying the program has crashed (usually 3 of these) or does the program simply go away.  If you get the crash messages you then need to look at what is happening to Pegasus Mail; if the program simply goes away then you need to look at the system level to find the program/function  that crashed that caused the OS to shutdown WinPMail.  You mentioned the anti-virus program.  Which one are you using, some are worse than others.  Are you using an anti-virus proxy between WinPMail and the server?  Is the anti-virus program scanning the WinPMail directories?  Either of these could cause a crash if the anti-virus program grabs a file away from WinPMail for any reason.
