Error when trying to open sent emails from spool folder

[clinthammer]

This is the error i always get with all messages:


Can't open file (location of message). The file may not exist , you may not have permission t open it. or it may be open in another program.

Are these emails specially encoded?

Hi Clint,

Do you mean the messages in the spool directory?

I'd say the are in MIME format to be handled by a mail server.

How I review them, is to copy from the 'Sent' folder [of captured mail] to a local pop folder say administrator, then pull them down into a client eg: Thunderbird to open them.

I guess a script could be put in place easily to schedule these to be copied to that account on a regular basis, like 'xcopy *.msg ..\..\pop3\administrator\ /m' or similar.

As an aside, privacy regulations in place in Australia, prevent unauthorised viewing of this mail [or internet history] in any workplace without a designated and published policy for surveillance.

Actually the ability to hide the History tab and remove all history data would be an advantage under the recent legislation also, like View --> History toggle on /off by choice.

Hi Nev,

Thanks but I only have the sent msgs in
C:\Program Files\WinGate\Mail\spool\sent

there arent any msgs located elsewhere.

Hi Clint

These are the ones you are trying to look at?

WinGate doesn't hold these files open, so they should be accessible. The user account you are using in explorer to access these files - are you sure it has permission to see them?

The files are encoded as well, but looks like you are having access problems even opening the file in the first place.

Yes, the user account is mine and has full admin rights.
