Pimmy Question

[jason]

I've been using Pimmy 3.31 for ages...I finally upgraded to the latest
version, 3.43. It has lots of great features! But there's one little
thing... I can't seem to save my list display settings for Incoming Mail.
I prefer the most recent messages to be displayed on top, but everytime I
click the Date column to display them that way, when I reopen Pimmy,
they're organized differently!

Any other users experiencing this behavior? I know the authors visit this
group...so to them...am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Im not 100% but pretty sure that its because the pimmy.cfg file in pimmy
folder is defaulted to read only and therfore wont save changes.Change
the attribute to archive.

Hi Jason,

this behaviour is "by design"... unfortunately because Pimmy does not
remeber sort order, yet. To have most recent messages on top you should
change folder properties and mark folder as "Standard" instead of "Incoming
mail" folder. But... in that way, you won't have "new" messages marked to
read, so that's not a good workaround.

We are developing Pimmy 3.5 (with tree view for newsgroup) and it will
remeber those settings. We are beta testing the italian version in these
weeks.

Have a nice day,

Thanks Angelo, that works for me. That's actually what I am used to. In
checking back, I see in the older version of Pimmy, I had the properties
set to "Standard". It was only in the new version that I changed them to
"Incoming Mail" and noticed the different behavior.

Sounds great!

I tried a version about a year ago. Then, the incoming mail symbol was a
flashing "lamp post" IIRC, in the System Tray. I suggested to you a
non-flashing simple envelope symbol at that time.

What does the current version show for incoming mail?

I'm sorry but that behaviour has not been changed... there is still a
flashing icon in the tray bar. We will take your request into account while
developing Pimmy 3.5.

I understand where Mike is coming from, but I'd sure hate to see that icon
go. It's a Pimmy trademark.

Thanks for support I was thinking to give an option to stop icon
flashing, but our trademark will be kept. Maybe we could change the icon a
bit when new mail is downloaded.

An option is good, to fit different needs. Netscape has used
successfully a small non-flashing envelope symbol for many years, and
IMO it gets the same attention as the stupid "YOU'VE GOT MAIL" AOL
message in the middle of the screen, as I saw in the movie, maybe it's
better now. Many times these days, the only mail is spam, so I want to
be aware mail has arrived, but may not want to look at it (on the
server) for awhile. So flashing is too obtrusive.

I see your point of view, thanks.
