I have one major problem with PM right now. If, for some reason, a
message cannot be sent, it blocks the whole queue. When I have my
connection settings set to send email immediately, and when I click
SEND, if PM is not going to actually send it, it should put some warning
dialog up in my face to let me know that it did not do what I wanted it to!
I have to use VPN's to send mail on some accounts, quite often I get a
case where I try to send a mail and it cannot connect to the server when
I try to send, because the VPN is down. OK, it gives me a warning. No
problem. Sometimes it just has to wait until I can get the VPN up.
However, if I try to send mail on a different account later, while the
VPN mail is still in the queue, the new mail is not sent, and no warning.
So, this should be simple..
If a given message CAN be sent, send it. Dont wait because some other
message on a different account cannot be sent.
If for any reason, it does not send a message, let the user know.
It might be nice to set up a reminder as a user option.. i.e. " I have
been unable to send 3 outgoing messages for the last hour, please check
your connection" or whatever.
As it is right now, I can get to the end of the day and then find that I
have a dozen out going messages stacked up.
Sorry about the rant.. maybe there is already some workaround for this
that I have not found... but its been a big problem for me a few times.

I do not know this problem.
In such a case my PM sends _all_ other messages from all _other_ accounts.
It seems that your problem has nothing to do with a possible down of
your VPN server but with a down of your general _internet_-connection.
In such a case, of course, PM cannot send any mail to anywhere.

Same here. I have set PM to deal with all accounts in parallel, and it
does. On the other hand, I would wish PM's error messages to be more
descriptive. PM doesn't, for example, tell me that there was a problem
with a failed authorization attempt, or an SMTP server not relaying
mail, but only says that an error occurred. Even when I ask it to tell
me more, all I get are cryptic error codes that don't provide any
indication (intelligible by me) of what, exactly, went wrong.

Bug. Thanks for the report.

"I'm using FoxTrot for a while now and I'm very pleased with its results.
It indexes files (by name, metadata and content) that are not indexed by
other app like Spotlight, HoudahSpot, Moru, etc. That includes the
contents of packages, like the files stored in DEVONthink or Scrivener.
For someone that needs to acess these kind of files and preview some of
them (mail, pdfs, rtf, docs, or even xls in a very strange way) this is
a very useful application that saves you a lot of time."

Subject: Powermail 6 Feature Request
From: "Alan D. Neubert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Could the addressing protocol be changed so that one could send an
email to more than one name at the same address, e.g., to John at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or to Mary at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Sometimes what I wish to
communicate to John is of no interest to Mary, and conversely.)
I know the work-around is to add a space before the address for one
of the recipients, but that is kludgy. Other email apps, e.g., Mail
allow this. Please let Powermail do so as well!
