Thanks guys, That worked with deleting the .pmi files and reindexing. The folder size was way under 2GB I also created another new sent mail folder and achieved the trouble one.

Almost lost faith in Pmail but the forum comes through. Been using Pmail since late 90's as the start date in that folder was 1998. My first company I had all the employees using Pmail and we never got viruses like people who used outlook and other mail programs back then.

Awesome and Thanks for helping me out. Now off to IMAP it to Gmail.

What's the size of FOLD4179.PMM? If greater or near 2GB, you have to split as IDW adviced you.

Delete (on closed Pegasus) the FOLD4179.PMI (Indexfile), open Pegasus, click the Folder and be patient ... it will take a while reindexing 64000 mails. :-(

If it functional again create folders as archive and split you sent-folder by moving mails there. I've created a archive-folders-hierarchie by year.

I have a large folder 64k messages it is the sent mail folder and when I open it. It opens the folder (blank) and then locks up pmail. I have to close and reopen pmail to get back in. I check consistency and got the error "**probable invalid offset in index record". Ran the reindex folder option and same problem.

I am stuck and hate to loose my 64000 sent mails ( i do have older backup of course but would be pain to try to recover just a folder and loose the other sent mails since the back up. Thanks for any help folks.

Go to Pegasus Mail's main directory (the one containing WINPM-32.EXE) and launch mbxmaint_ui.exe after closing PM. It should be self-explaining. The folder file name can be retrieved by right-clicking the copy-self-folder and selecting Folder information in Pegasus Mail. You might as well check whether the file size is close to or above 2 GB in which case you would need to split it using a tool created by Martin Ireland.

Thank you so much. Ran test and says it had errors fixed them all and ran all again and says all good.. But when opening folder it locks up on sorting and locks up pmail. Very strange .

Did this and still issues

Checking 'FOLD4179.PMM'...

Warning: message 24581 has non-unique ID part (P19BB0.CNM)

Warning: message 24690 has non-unique ID part (P123B0.CNM)

!! Found internal consistency error:

#017 Folder contains 2 messages with non-unique IDs

** Note **

Non-unique IDs are only a problem if you access this folder via IMAP.

You can fix non-unique IDs using the 'Fix IDs' tab without otherwise

altering or rebuilding the folder.
