That is actually in the headers of every message originating from a copy
of PowerMail, as here in Derry's :
X-Mailer: CTM PowerMail version 5.6.3 build 4504 English (intel)
The low level rebuild was fixed in 5.6.3:
from the message "[ANN] PowerMail 5.6.3 universal released"

All backed up & clean.

Subject: How the search index rebuild techniques work
From: "CTM info" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hello,
I confirm: a Message Database index file can indeed be deleted as it
gets reconstructed by PowerMail on request and should not result in an
incomplete search index if properly reconstructed, i.e. by requesting so
in the PowerMail first aid dialog.
The reason you might have had an incomplete index in the past might have
been for having deleted it manually without the application flagging
messages as unindexed in the database; by updating the index in the
menu, you were most likely only indexing those messages only that
PowerMail's message database had marked as unindexed; hence the
operation in the PowerMail First Aid dialog which is more thorough as it
declares all messages as unindexed before reindexing all.
Kind regards,
jean michel / ctm qa

Hej,
uploading emails to Gmail doesnt seem to be a problem:
create an account and allow IMAP. Create labels for every folder that
you have (or want to keep).
Then register the account in Powermail and connect. Then just drag all
messages in a folder to the gmail-label and drop them. The emails and
attachments gets uploaded. If the attachment is missing you have to
click "Ok" which is a hassle. Also I've experienced problem with
filenames containing æ and similar unusual letters.
Another strange thing is that the date and time displayed in Gmail is
"Recieved date", not sent date. Which means that every morning around
7-8 when I have downloaded the nighly email I have a bunch of messages
with the same timestamp. If I view source in the email I see the correct
sent time.

This seems to be some new behavior I haven't noticed in PowerMail:
In the Recent Mail window, when I click on any column heading or the up/
down sort arrow on the right, the list is re-sorted and all read mail is
removed from the window. I don't want it removed from the window.
Is this something I just never noticed before or did I click a checkbox
somewhere? It's very annoying.

Not seeing this... Is it a "View Unread" behavior?

Shift-Command-A (View All) to get it back. Just tried View Unread and
the messages disappeared on sort. Go back to View All and they magically
reappear (provided you didn't truly clear the RMW in the meantime).

Yes, that was it, Chris. I'd only just recently discovered those
commands and I hadn't realized that toggling it to View Unread left it
there so that newly unread files would disappear as the window updated.
I'm finding I prefer those commands rather than the buttons that remove
them from the window.
Many thanks.
