I recently migrated from my venerable old laptop to a new Windows 10 machine. I also updated to Pegasus 4.73 (build 639). You don't want to know how old the previous version I was using was.
Some observations:
- migration by directory copying the /Pmail/MAIL folder worked fine for me, 30GB of mail (23179 sent items, 5040 items in New Mail, 280 mail folders, all present on the new machine) - note that on the old machine the mail folder was /Pmail/MAIL/ADMIN (maybe that was a multi-user setup?), on the new machine I copied the contents of /Pmail/MAIL/ADMIN to /Pmail/MAIL and it seems to work fine
- this brought a huge grin, I was dancing around the room, it is awesome that the same software works by a simple directory copy and hasn't changed the .CNM data structure in all these years, meaning I have my full email history intact (I've been using Pegasus since 1997) - top quality software. Well done David Harris!
- an issued noticed in the latest version is that while Pegasus does a POP3 check, my typing in the new message editor is paused for approximately 1 second - it is briefly frozen. The on screen editor then 'catches up' with what I was typing while it was paused, but it's annoying and disconcerting, it's not smooth to edit messages. Old Pegasus didn't do this. This feels like the POP3 check is maybe not running in a separate thread?
- I am also wondering if these pauses are an artifact because of me changing folders see point 1 above, or something caused by Windows 10? My Windows 10 installation is pretty clean, bloat eliminated and everything other application on this PC works smoothly without pauses.
Grateful for any help - it would be helpful just to know if other users are experiencing these pauses or micro-freezes, or if it's only me?
