I had a problem, which is now solved, but I thought I ought to report the full story as it relates to Emailer:
G4/2x1GHz tower running OS10.4.8 and OS9.2.2 I use 'SilverKeeper' to carry out automatic backups. It's set up with a schedule to copy complete partitions from my internal Hard drives to the external Firewire drive. Now I find each morning that the darn thing has given up part way through! On running the process manually, I see a message pop up as it begins to work through my OS9 partition: "Failed to open process. Continue without root privileges?" OK/cancel There is (allegedly) 117GB free space available on the external drive. I did run Repair Permissions but no effect. The "process" fails as soon as it "looks" at the partition so it doesn't seem to be a problem with a file (it doesn't get as far as listing any) but with the partition itself. Ownership and permissions for this partition are set the same as the rest of the partitions: "Read & Write" and DON'T ignore ownership. That was yesterday. Today I tried it again. It failed when it reached my Claris Email Folder. Specifically, it failed when it hit the "Temp incoming" folder (empty) and also the "Downloads" folder, which was empty apart from .DS_Store. SilverKeeper actually "locked up" and wasn't in the "quit" list so I had to reboot. I deleted the offending folders and SilverKeeper then ran perfectly. I should add that I use Claris Emailer for all my email so its folders are used continually throughout the day. I guess it's not surprising that something went wrong there! Oh, another note. I had recently returned from a brief holiday. I had copied the Emailer folder to my iBook when I went and copied it back to the G4 on my return. I bet that didn't help matters! Anyone suggest what happened?
