If this feature already exists and I was simply too dumb to find it, please point me to the correct place where I can discover it.

Nope, I don't think I was too dumb, but I simply remembered problems from older versions and therefore never dared to change the "Address completion" settings in my PMAIL options.

To answer my own question, make sure that "recently-used addresses" is UNCHECKED and "addressbooks" is CHECKED.

Text entered in notepads doesn't wrap. When you try to print a notepad, if you have a line that is too long, it is not reformatted and you are not warned. Minor thing but surely it could use the current margins/character width set in the message reader or message formatting options pages?

I pasted a section from a long e-mail into a notepad in order to print just that part but lost large parts of the copy when it ran off the side of the printed page.

Both of you, thanks!

I'll have a try for this solution....

Cheers!

Hello,

sorting a folder's messages currently ignores the message date altogether. Thus, when I want to collect all messages with a certain subject, I cannot browse through them in chronological order.

Example:

The original message is highlighted with the blue bar. A later message appears below it. Above of the original message are more, but they are also not in chronological order. The timezone offset for all these e-mails is the same. It also does not matter whether I sort by date first, and then by subject. In fact, the above order comes up no matter how I had the e-mails organized prior to the sort (name, date sorts; select).

I would like to have the original message furthest below, and then the subsequent e-mails in order above that e-mail.

Thank you and have a good Sunday (I'm off to the dim sum now...)

edit: I should add that this particular folder contains 3681 messages.

Then maybe you should consider:

Rule 1  Subject line:  "Undeliverable"

Rule 2   Received from: line   any of your ip address block

Action    pass message on to the sender (in your domain) as your user should be told a recipient to their message does not exist.

Hi Martin,

Whilst your suggestions are all valid, I would agree with Tony that having the proposed functions in a more explicit way (specifically the ability to flag emails in the inbox) would be tremendously helpful. I am forced to use Lotus at work and have started appreciating the "flagging" function, despite it being extremely rudimentary.

Also, the "alarm" function / pop-up of emails when their due date arises would be excellent to have - at present, I use a "post-it" / "stickies" program to have that functionality outside my email, requiring me to create new postits for emails as and when required. Having that functionality in Pmail would make life a lot easier (especially as the majority of postits in my life are related to emails...)

I understand your concern around Pmail becoming a PIM at a time when its key strengths lie in being an email programme; nonetheless, I believe that these aspects are on a blurred border line of "convergence" of different software requirements for users.

Regards,

Rolf

Hi, this is a negative reply.

In your last post (November 2007) you said it was your last post on the forum, because of the users and because "Communication is not fluid enough here".

You said you were waiting for the next version of Pegasus Mail, now you say that the version 3 is enough for you.

You seem to not know what you say.

That's great news :)

Repeating a suggestion I made by email about 3 years ago, in case it might be feasible in the latest Mercury ...

 
It would be really handy to be able to specify a fall-back SMTP server address or addresses in MercuryE. It doesn't have to be anything particularly fancy - simply add the specified address(es) to the end of the list of MX addresses for each outgoing message, so that if all the MXs are unavailable or refuse the message (a common problem with blanket blacklisting of private IP addresses by some large ISPs), then the message would be sent instead via (say) my ISP's mail relay.

Thanks Martin,
That's one good option I haven't thought about ... [;)]
However, what I have in mind would be an additional option maybe created under the Tools -> Option -> Outgoing mail header (or maybe even added under -> Signatures) allowing attachment options to be defined and named, similarly to the signatures options, which then can be set as default or selected/de-selected when a new message is being created (see screenshot). I personally would find that to be very handy :-)
Cheers

I agree, this should be fixed, if possible; otherwise they can remove the "Send now" button from the Draft Manager.

I first saw this some 7 years ago, when I lost a few copies, and it's still the same in version 4.52. Perhaps I should be happy I didn't stumble on it during the 10-11 years before that.[;)]

However, one simple workaround is to open the saved message in the Draft manager and click Send from within the message editor window.

Hi 'lazy leukocyte'
I agree that linked folders are an interesting and good concept and I hope that the PM team may find some more time to further work on this feature. I started using linked folders very frequently, however I stoped using linked folder altogether as there seems to be another error when the original folder or email is being moved (not deleted) , e.g. as part of restructuring of the folder tree, then the link to that email in the linked folder breaks making the whole concept unusable for me. Link to my January posting on this issue below.
Any news related to linked folder from the developing team?
Cheers

I wish that when Pegasusmail will be ported to Windows Vista the look of the program in "Pegasus Mail classic Window look" even will be possible in future, because it is nice and functional. A spell checker for other languages than english would be great. It would be great if there was an option to activate when I was saving self made HTML - mails (with pictures insert) as an re-usable message. It should be possible to activate that the mail was saved with the full picture code insert the mail. Then I have no problems when the picture that was config to insert at later time is not more present in the file directory from the hard disc. The same was important for formated Mail - signatures (with pictures / logos). I think full program function on USB memory stick is very imported, because I know that people would like to use the program on different places, for example they have a journey. I don't use the mailclient from the Internet Service Provider or an Internet browser over "Online Mailing", because I will be independent from the ISP, so that I can change my ISP if I want without any problems or loosing of mails in the ISP mailboxes. With IMAP or using the mailclient from the ISP or an Internet browser over "Online Mailing" the mails / copies where placed on the ISP - server and full working with the mailboxes / mails is offline not possible and you are not independent from the ISP.

Don't get me wrong, for people / companies with different workstations and own Mailserver is IMAP a protocol who can be necessary or should be used. So it is now and in future necessary to have a nice, safe and easy to use mail program how Pegasus Mail it is.

Best wishes an thanks to David Harris and his team for his work,

As far as I can tell this has already been fixed in the current beta versions of Pegasus Mail. The size limit is now 256 characters.

A new beta just got out - so work is in progress.

Surely there are other less obtrusive ways to ensure the protection of the folder without "obscuring" the user's display. This is an example of an application "living outside of its envelope".  Just because Microsoft has set a bad example in this regard is no reason to perpetuate it.  :-)

It's fine to force a secondary window to be dominant within the application's  primary window, but it should not force itselt to be "on top" of other applications' windows when Pmail is no longer in focus.

I think it would be good to reconsider this design decision.

Suggestions for improved Selective mail download.

Changes to the User interface:

• Add a Spam checkbox for each email in the list
  
• Add a Mark as spam  button to toggle this checkbox for selected messages
• Add keyboard accelerators to the four Mark... buttons and the Make it so button
• Add options to hide spam messages or to display them last in the list
• Add counters that display the number of messages marked for different actions
  

Changes to behaviour:

• Download headers
• Run spam filters, marking suspicious messages as spam
• Run POP3 rules, marking messages for download or delete (other actions disabled)
• Display list of messages, letting the user accept or change marks as needed
  

On Make it so:

• Delete messages marked as spam or marked for deletion only
• Proceed with download

These suggestions were inspired by the following thread: http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/8025.aspx

Any comments are welcome!

I second that suggestion. It would make things much easier if the folders tree would behave like, say, the one in Windows Explorer.

Being a "keyboard user" more than a "mouse user" I have two additional wishes. Both concern quick jumps by typing a letter to select the next folder beginning with that letter.

1. Allow quick jumps to folders that start with a non-US-ASCII character
2. Refresh message list and preview pane to keep them in sync with the selected folder.

A note on #2:

Currently, Pegasus still displays the contents of the previously

selected folder - even when I press Tab to get to the message list

pane. Synching with a short delay to avoid drawing the list for every folder visited (like

Windows Explorer) would be perfect. Synching when I tab over to the

list pane would also be OK.

Hi all !

Since the "Mail Store" is in the process of getting a second youth, I thought that it might be the right opportunity for bringing back in front my suggestion for coloring the icons of trays and folders along with expanding the number of available colors. I hope David will find this useful and decide to code it in.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers !

I've passed this along, but I don't expect this to be possible for the short term.  The problem is that two different print dialogs and print engines are used depending upon whether the message to be printed is plain text or is html text.  Now if you have messages selected from both of those groups, it becomes problematic.
