Alright, I've done it in the past, but to make sure I'm not doing something wrong, I looked it up in the PM manual and it states clearly :
"launch PowerMail with the option- and command-keys down. This will invoke PowerMail's built-in recovery facility known as PowerMail First Aid." I have said so in the past and now again - this does NOT work for me (any longer). I can try it from the dock or in the Finder, I hold down the keys before even touching the PM icon, just to make sure I'm "fast enough" (who knows, maybe age IS beginning to show). No matter what I try, First Aid will NOT launch. Using PM 5.5.2 and have this problem probably since 5.2 - and now I need it, got a fat folder but no unread messages in there. Any ideas why PM just refused to open in First Aid mode? Thanks, ---marlyse ---marlyse
