There are two categories of US cities involved, DL hubs and other, generally secondary, airports.
From some DL Hubs, UA P fares are valid to a much wider range of cities in Europe:
SLC/MSP/DTW/ATL/CVG/MEM-AMS/MXP/FCO/CDG/MLA/VCE/TRN/FLR/NAP/PMO/CTA/BUD/PRG/CPH/IST/WAW/ARN/OSL/KRK/PRG/TLL/RIX/etc
(but not JFK nor LAX?)
Other airports are valid to a smaller set of cities in Europe:
BOS/SJC/SMF/MOD/BWI/BUR/ONT/SNA/PSP/HNL/SEA/PDX/AUS/PIT/TUS/TPA/ALB/etc/etc-AMS/MXP/FCO/CDG/MLA/VCE/TRN/FLR/NAP/PMO/CTA/etc
Most UA hubs don't have the fare filed (not SFO for sure), but apparently EWR has at least EWR-VCE/NCE (but not EWR-MXP/PMO/FCO/CDG)
Some destinations in Europe have a slightly higher base fare:
MRS/LYS
(please add more cities to either origin or destination side that are valid)
Be careful in your airline selection - there are PQM/RDM implications to this. For example, for the UA program, UA P earns 150% PQM/RDM, LH P earns 100% PQM/RDM, and it appears that OS P earns nothing.
Similarly it looks like UA P class credited to Aegean (A3) earns nothing. Visit this United webpage then click on the Star Alliance partner to determine mileage earnings.

Hi Everyone. I'm an EVA Airlines Member. Does anyone know what this P fare would net me mileage accumulation wise? Is it 100% accumulation for UA?

Just be award that the SAN-YYZ flights are on Rouge, and not AC mainline. 'Premium Rouge' says that it is a blocked middle seat with extra legroom.. Definitely not a true F/C class on those birds (unless you find a 763 operating to SAN from YYZ)

Booked LAS-YYZ-MXP-YYZ-SEA & XXX-XXX (yeah, yeah, fuel dump, I know wrong thread blah blah) for $1,020. The return YYZ-LAS would have been on AC Rouge on an A319, yikes no thanks I'll go to SEA 
. Outbound LAS-YYZ is on a 767 so alright there.

I found exHPN routing through ORD onward to FRA, could be nice if I could get the LH 747-800 w new biz, but having trouble getting that to come up.
Edited to add: I was able to pull up the 747-8 flights. Wow, killer deal.

This is great and thanks op!
For the first time I finally was able to jump on such a great deal!
SJC-IAH-ORD-FRA-FCO(LH)-EWR-DEN-SJC last week of Aug all up front, P fare, and all mainline without any RJ's for $1,523 ai.
I'm happy about price and wife happy to return to Italy

Looking at taking the wife for a quick Birthday trip - Friday August 15th to Tuesday August 19th. Found
UA
BWI - AMS, 1470
BWI - CDG, 1560
Is the fare class just the first letter of the fare code? Thanks - curious to see points earning.

On international fares, I believe that's true. For domestic itineraries that are booked as Y-UP fares it's often not (you'll see a K-fare basis, for example, which books into P/F/A depending on the carrier). These appear to be booking as P on UA.
