I've been using Pmail for quite some time and have just upgraded to 4.61. I've noticed in the past when one replies to one of ones own "sent" messages it displays the original message was written by one of the recipients and not the sender (myself in this case). See example below.

I thought I'd wait for the new release to see if it's fixed but it still does this. I'd like my own name to be displayed in the reply when I reply on one of my own sent messages from my "Copies to self" folder.

 Pmail, as always is an excellent mail client and this is a small bug to live with if not fixed.

In PM ver 4.51 running under Win XP Pro SP2, I am trying to limit the number of header data that are downloaded using "File/Selective Mail Download" from an account with 4000+ messages, so that I can choose from the presented list of, say 50 or 100 headers, which to delete directly on the ISP server leaving me with a much smaller number which can be retrieved normally.

In Tools/Internet Options
clicking on Receiving (POP3) tab, then Edit and Download Controls
I get the dialogue sub-window which allows me to insert under "During any connection, download at most  "nnn" messages"
If I insert, say 50 and go back to File/Selective Mail Download from the server it has no effect.
If I instead choose "File/Check Host for New Mail", then the 50 full messages plus attachments beginning with the oldest, which may be large, are downloaded taking much longer and putting many unwanted messages on my PC.

Could I ask that the next version of PM allows the number of messages to apply also to just header data under "File/Selective Mail Download", as well as full messages under "File/Check Host for New Mail"

I believe Mr Thomas R. Stephenson, Member of Pegasus Mail Support Team, may also put this request forward from our recent discussion under Re: Maximum Message Count using "Selective mail Download"
Thank you.

Netbooks etc have small screens. As these are often wide-screen displays, width is less of a concern than height.

I suggest the addition of "Fixed vertical" to the current toolbar placement options  (Floating horizontal, Floating vertical, Fixed horizontal).

[quote user="Henrik Rosenø"]I don't use distribution lists often, but when I do, I often have problems.

It seems to me, that when you send to a few addresses (in the address field) and something goes wrong, you get a meaningfull "Mail delivery failure"-error message that tells you who received it and who did not, but when I send to a distribution list the error messages are kind of cryptic and they don't tell me who received the message and who did not. So I end up having to send it again and writing something like "I am sorry if you have received this more than once"...

On the other hand you don't assume that something will go wrong before you send the message, but it would be nice if Pegasus could give me a helping hand to compensate for the lacks of the SMTP when it handles distribution lists.[/quote]

Unfortunately with distribution lists you are in the hands of the SMTP server you use and the error messages it returns. (Exactly the same as having a large BCC address list.)  Also, different servers often have different limits on the number of recipients.  I send out weekly messages to over 1000 addresses via distribution lists - I split the total down into multiple lists so that I can identify which 'batch' has a problem.  You also need to double-check all the entries to ensure they are all valid address formats with no strange characters.

An alternative would be to use the Mail Merge feature and send an individual email to each address.

A very interesting suggestion. I can see how that would be useful to some people.

Or run pconfig.exe from the command line [:S]

I would've loved that answer.

In v4.62 still same behavior.

Thank you for your reply.

My choice of words in my previous posts may not have completely and unambiguously described my system or my concern with how Pegasus Mail 4.6.1 behaves.  I apologize for any confusion that I may have inadvertently caused.

First, to be clear, my memory is good.  God willing, it will remain so for many years to come.  I can remember which browser is my default browser.  Pegasus Mail does not need to remind me.

Now, as I stated before, I'd like PM to always behave as if *it* remembers which browser I selected as default.  Asking me to choose from a list of available browsers every time I want to "Open message in Web browser..." is inefficient.  So is double-clicking on a menu entry when a single click should suffice.  PM4.6.1 is asking me to do more work than is necessary for a routine task.  Not much more, but more nonetheless.

This behavior is very much like a waiter at a restaurant asking me to read the menu again and choose my entree again before delivering it to my table.  I have already told the waiter my choice.  It is the waiter's job to remember my choice.  I think it should be Pegasus' job to remember my default browser and employ it where ever it is appropriate to do so.

Thank you again for your attention to this matter.

Jon,

Thanks for your posts of your modified icons' .png files (and all the trouble you went to to make them downloadable), and the information about changing button icons. Now I can kind of see where I want to go in changing the button icons so they are more clear (I'm thinking of just using the 4.5x icons as I find them much easier to see and mostly more intuitive also -- I've never been a great enthusiast of "3D" icons--)

As a default I would like to reply to messages using the identity which received them rather than the one currently selected in Pegasus. I think that is along the lines of the original post. Identities tied to folders help, but involves extra setup steps that perhaps would not be necessary?

Me too!

Yes, I can see it should be in the support forum.  If you can, please move it. 

(I put it in suggestions 'cos I was intending to suggest that this bug be fixed, but apparently my bug is genetically unique.)

The behaviour is the same in PM462.

After a while begins to delay the button redraw but if I rename PNG folder, the button bar get the old aspect (with shade, or trapezium shape) without delay but if I use the boilerplate function PM begins to flash and I can't stop.

[quote user="aga60"]

I agree.

I've renamed  PNG folder and PM461 works fine till I have use boilerplate function.

At that time PM begins to flash and there is no way to stop it.

Aldo

I've sent to beta-reports@pmail.gen.nz

As the time goes, time needed to redraw icon bar increases.

May be that the key pressed is not detected till icon bar redraw ends?

And if pressed before it (before the redraw end) it stay in a state that prevents the keypress event?

Aldo

Nice feature ... but not that way. :-(

Environment: PM461 (still testing) with NDS-Module, central installation on Novell Netware 6.5 with mailboxes in users homedirectory on server.

We extensively use several mailaccounts with IMAP. For one of those (our central mailaccount of university) I know the limitations set by provider of services. On other (most times private) accounts the user should have the opportunity to set those limits. So ... the sizelimit is individual to the mailaccount ... not to the registry of any windows-installation.

My suggestion: There should (may be alternatively or additionaly) be a possibility to set those limits in PMAIL.INI (-> options in pegasus) for every identity in users configuration of pegasus. May be the settings in registry have high priority, but may be set lower per identity by the user. If there are no settings in registry, the only limit is that per identity.

just my 2 cent

one trick that may help you (if you know the name of the file to be attached) is to start typing the name, this will then narrowdown the files in the drop down to those starting with 'XXX'. Use this all the time. YMMV

Ok, found the option in Signature Edit for the same.

 Thanks & Regards,

Rad.

[quote user="Steffan"]

That option already exists. When saving an attachment to a particular directory, you can set that directory as your favourite directory.

Cheers!

Hi Steffan,

Thanks for pointing out. Had missed that one while saving....

Rad.

My wife wrote an email and then oddly chose "new mail" as the place to file it!

The system did not protest (and testing indicates the mail was sent) but no copy appears to be saved anywhere.
