Pmail minimizes automatically when started

[quote user="Paladin"]This just started yesterday(build 4.62).  when I start pmail, it goes

straight to the bottom bar, minimized.  I cannot get it to open on

screen.  It's downlaoding my maol, but I can't see any of it.  [/quote]

This sounds like Pegasus Mail is opening minimized but it could be that the window size is reduced to that minimized size.  Try grabbing a corner and see if you can stretch it larger.

[quote user="Paladin"]more info.  when i start pmail, i get the warning box that the mailbox appears to bel ocked by another user.  i know it isn't as i can log into it thru the mail server directly.

 please...  it seems to dl my mail when i try to open it (nothing left in mail server) but i can't access it.[/quote]

The mailbox lock refers to a lock on the Pegasus Mail mailbox.  One is set whenever a mailbox is being accessed by Pegasus Mail.  It is released when Pegasus Mail stops accessing the mailbox but can get stuck in place as a result of an ungraceful shutdown of Pegasus Mail.  The mailbox lock warning you see serves two purposes; one, to warn you that the lock is in place, and two, to allow you to override it if needed.  An override should only be done if you are absolutely certain that no other instance of Pegasus Mail is accessing that mailbox.  The fact that mail is being downloaded is an indication that Pegasus Mail is running somewhere.  Run Task Manager to see if it is running on that machine (its process is called "winpm-32.exe").  Assuming Win7, maybe it is running but the icon is hidden in the notification area.   Perhap its window is just not visible.  Try right clicking in the taskbar and selecting "Show all windows stacked" or "Show all windows side by side".  If it is not running, are there any other machines on which it might be running?
