I edited the instructions to add step #5 to the "move" set, and made a couple of other clarifying edits, that is, the name of the resulting folder will be INBOX.pptest

Re: Marked as read

Ok, looks good. This next test is best done with an account currently connected to an account in the idle state. To see if an account is in idle, make sure that no activity is occurring (ie. the PP status bar says "X minutes remaining..."), then right-click on an IMAP account and see if &q...

I need to check your versions:
From PP's main menu, select File / Error overview
Press the 'copy' button
Then use Paste in your reply.

Re: Marked as read

Are you sure that PP is using IMAP for the account(s) in question? It won't work for WebMail server types (Hotmail, GMail, Yahoo, etc.) -- you must use IMAP for those accounts instead. To clarify, those accounts listed CAN use IMAP, you just have to make sure the "server type" is IMAP and ...

Note to others: this refers to a feature that will be added in v4.1, which is currently in beta. Existing ini files need to manually enable this option in v4.1 (it's enabled by default for new ini files). This is mentioned on the beta download page and on the upgrade window when you start PP v4.1 fo...

Re: Gmail: unknown error?

I would recommend switching your GMail account(s) to use IMAP instead of WebMail. This will skip a lot of potential problems and you'll also gain more features by using IMAP. To switch, you'll need to do 2 things: 1) Edit the account and change the "server type" to IMAP 2) More than likely...

Re: Date/time stamp for "connection errors"?

I have briefly considered adding more to the error log in the past (ie. an error log history), but it's not something that's high on the "todo" list. You can use the logger to find a history of the errors (along with a lot of other information); press Ctrl+D to access/enable it.

Re: we detected something unusual about a recent sign-in to

What lakrsrool said is exactly right -- it would be undesirable for POP Peeper to skip past the notices that the webmail service provides. You can use IMAP which will avoid those types of problems; however, many people have found that Hotmail's IMAP server is not the greatest in reliability so you m...

Re: Yahoo error mail box in use...

"server error" -- that means something went wrong on their end. Yahoo tends to have its ups and downs; its downs can last a couple of weeks sometimes, but overall, it's more up than down.

Re: Yahoo error mail box in use...

Check to make sure that you don't have any POP3 clients trying to access the account. The POP3 protocol generally only allows one connection at a time. Another possibility is that Yahoo may only allow a certain number of connections to the account at one time; or even a certain number of connections...

For some reason, I thought you were referring to something else. Regardless, I still need to know the location of your ini file, as I suspect it's write-protected.

Re: Does customize toolbar work and how to setup spam for de

I'm afraid I can't answer either question directly, as I have questions about both: 1) Are you saying that the custom graphic is not staying after you restart, or that the button itself is not staying? I suspect the latter and I suspect it's because your ini file may not be writable -- please let us...

Re: Complete re-scanning of mailbox at each poppeeper start

Thanks for clarifying that point, lakrsrool. The way that PP is designed, if you have set PP to only store "headers" then PP *may* have to retrieve the entire message each time after PP exits/restarts. There are 2 conditions: 1) The account's check mail process is set to "entire messa...
