I am trying to help support a user who uses Pegasus as their mail app on their 3 PCs. I am not a Pegasus user myself. He currently is configured to use POP. If I were to help re-configure him to use IMAP, does Pegasus "cache" entire mail messages and attachments, or would he only be able to see the headers of previously-seen messages when he's on a laptop without any Internet connection?? Thanks!
From the PB1 help, should be the same for v4.41.
Using an IMAP profile Off-line
As you use an IMAP profile online, Pegasus Mail will build up a cache of information from the remote IMAP mailbox. This means that information about folders, headers and messages is stored locally on your PC. Pegasus Mail allows you to access this locally cached data in offline mode, without requiring any kind of network connectivity to the remote host. When you mount an IMAP profile offline, you can see all the folders in the profile, and can read any messages that are present in the folder cache. In offline mode, the IMAP profile is read-only - you cannot delete, change or add messages or folders in the profile while offline.
To use an IMAP profile offline, you must already have connected to it online at least once. Certain options on the "Performance" page of the IMAP definition editor, most notably the Fast Listing and Subscribed folders options, will prevent you from using a profile in offline mode if they are set. Actually using the profile offline is simplicity itself - simply click the Use offline button in the profile list window instead of the Connect button.
Hint: if you want to make sure that all the messages in a folder are available for use in offline mode, right-click the folder in the list of folders and select the Cache all messages option from the right-click menu.
