Hi folks,
at first I must say that I'm a newbie here. These are my first posting
to the list. I use Powermail since four month starting with Mac OS
10.3.9. My Apple Mail there was working incorrectly so I take a look for
a alternative. At last I found a new home with Powermail. Now I use Mac
OS 10.5.6 and there are some problems with Powermail 6. At first the
application will not came up to the foreground. If I click at the Dock
icon no window will open! I have to use the shortcuts or the "window"
command. Also the "actual post" will not showing the mails correctly. So
I have to disable these and use now the simple notification.
The next problem is the Addressbook sync. It will not work correctly so
I have also disable the whole Adressbook sync! If I create a new group
at the Apple Addressbook it will not take over correctly to the
Powermail Addressbook (only one of the email contact from the group will
synchronize). If I create a new group at the Powermail Addressbook these
group will not sync (I have check all Addressbook features at the
preference pane of Powermail).
Best
Marko

When you close any PowerMail window before quitting the app, PM will
remember your decision and not open those windows automatically when you
open PM again. Just remember not to close any windows when you really
want to quit PM.

I take it that with "actual post" you are referring to the "Recent mail"
window ("Aktuelle Post" in the German version) -- "actual" doesn't have
the same meaning as "aktuell" in German. I never use it (never saw any
benefits it offered) and thus haven't encountered any problems, but some
users were compaining about this window not keeping its content between
restarts (which wouldn't concern me even if I did use it, as I never
quit PM anyway).

There are some well-known issues with the Address Book sync; still, I
keep it turned on so I have access to mail addresses defined in the
system-wide Address Book. Actually I would prefer PM to rely on Apple's
Address Book exclusively, rather than even attempting a synchronization.

Hello Michael,
many thanks for these usefully informations. I have use "recent
post" (sorry for my mistake) because I run a lot of filter rules they
sort my traffic into special folders. So the "recent post" was a very
usefully option for me! But after the "recent post" fail to show me all
of the incoming traffic, I switch to the simple notification and delete
the most of the filters and start to sort manually.
Okay a additional question, at Apple Mail there is a nice option which I
missed a lot in Powermail. The option for showing the X-Mailer at the PM
short header. At PM I must show at the long header to getting
information about the X-Mailer. This is not so nice. Is there also a
option, like at Apple Mail, to show the X-Mailer at the short Header?
