Hack PM Sounds in OSX for $256.00 using Resourcer
Karel, Thanks for the link. I checked. It's there, and it's $256.00 for the application. I'll have to think twice and do a little research to see if I can make use of Resourcerer to do more than just change the PowerMail sounds ;-) We'll see. I'll let you know how I make out.

Feature Request: Menu Mail/Perform Filter
Well then, I've set up some 70+ mail filters and PowerMail performs very nicely indeed. I really love the checkboxes for in and out mail, which makes mail filtering so much more flexible BUT: When you want to apply a filter manually from the Menu - Mail/Perform Filter, the filters are sorted in the same way as they are in the filter setup window = not alphabetically! I know the filters can be dragged around for manually sorting in the setup window, but this is to get filters to operate in the chronological order you need them to be so they don't steel messages from each other. When having 70 filters I can assure you it's hard to find the one you want to apply manually, thus my request: A sort alphabetically option in the Perform Filter submenu.

Re: flag feature (+ logical sorting bug...?)

Now, I can understand the computer itself works in terms of 9 is higher than 8 etc. But in this particular case I think we all agree that Priority 1 is higher than Priority 2, right? Thus when sorting priorities we should get 1 at top, then 2 etc and None at the bottom. This I believe should be fixed by CTM, no? Well, I guess it would work if you could select a view of only labeled messages, and then sort by label and click the triangle.
