new mail not moving to main folder once read
Tom Barkas
PMail and now new mail stays in the new mail folder till I close the
programme, then moves into the Main Folder, whereas it used to move
automatically into Main Folder once read. I do not have
Tools/Options/Basic Settings Allow Read Messages to stay in the New
Mail Folder selected. Any ideas?

That may be the normal behavior. If I understand the following
correctly, you should be able to force it by closing the New Mail
folder (instead of the program). From Help:
| /Allow read messages to stay in the new mail folder/ Usually
| when you close the new mail folder, Pegasus Mail moves all the
| messages you have read but left there to the folder you have
| specified as your /Default Folder/ (see below). If you would
| prefer new mail to stay in your new mail folder until you
| explicitly move or delete it, check this control.

My e-mail address works as is.

But that is what it is no longer doing - if I close the New Mail
folder, the read new mail stays there instead of moving to Main Folder

Are you sure about that? I've never seen Pegasus behave that way or
seen any settings that would cause it to behave that way. The only
settings are the "Allow Read Messages to stay in the New
Mail Folder" setting.
If you use Preview Mode (I don't), maybe the "Apply filtering rules
when previewing folders" might make it act somewhat like that.
Otherwise, I don't believe that Pegasus is capable of moving a message
to another folder immediately after being read.

Steven,
I've done this and it is now working!
I had checked that the mail box was OK under Mailbox location and
seen that Main Folder was listed under Basic Settings, but hadn't
clicked on Select - I assumed that, because mail was going where it
should when I closed the programme, it was set up.
I couldn't find my earlier post (you seem very organised), but have
the impression that it wasn't going to the Main Folder at all that
time.
Thanks again

Maybe I explained badly - it shouldn't move immediately after reading,
but once I close the new mail folder. It's working now, but thanks for
the reply

It's doing it again - this time, I'd changed nothing - it was working
one day and not the next. I've gone through all the things above for
the original Mail Folder (checking it is there under Basic
Settings/Name for default folder and even Select Folder. I've also
renamed Main Folder as Main Folder 5 and created a new Main Folder
and still this problem. Done re-indexing and checking of consistency
just in case

send questions by this method, but I've got the same problem again on
both computers and our normal fix below doesn't work. "Stay in new
mail folder" is not ticked. Any more ideas?

don't know what else to suggest. If nobody else chimes in, you
might try asking at the Pegasus Community site:
