Of course it can. What's the point of comparing Apples to Oranges? If one have transactions and cache flush mechanisms in place obviously some problems will be less common. That won't cure all, but maybe this is not necessary if only a handful are encountered. I'm sure there ar emore techni Question is of course what is in place in PM today and if the effort to add any more safety handling is worth it. No hurt to let CTM know that one have recurring problems. Personally, I have few or no problems even with a quite large database. Only real damage I had was when my old CPU overheated and halted while fetching messages. If I had the money I'd have used PowerMail Salvage to try and read it, but I didn't so I did a backup of the crashed DB and went back my one month old previous backup. Maybe I'll try that when I'm flush. PM 5.2.1 | OS X 10.3.9 | Powerbook G4/400 | 768MB RAM | 30GB HD
