Hello,

Hoping that someday this message will arrive on the list along with
my previous post (quoted above)...
Meanwhile, after installing 6.0.4 again and fiddling with file
permissions I get
the following message (translated from German) when I try to start PowerMail:
"An error occured
Insufficient permission. Please check the permissions of the Database
and Attachment directory."
This is the content of my "PowerMail Files" directory:

=====================================
I created a new Mac OS X user account to run PowerMail without any
data or preferences... and there, PowerMail starts without any
problems.
So I compared the file permissions there with those above -- they are
the same, except that the group is set to "staff" instead of "tob".
I changed that on the problematic account. Still, no luck.
Oh, and btw, I did run "repair permissions". But as I expected, it didn't help.
And now, I've run out of ideas...
Kind regards,
Tobias Jung
