Address book sync?
How exactly does this work? It seems to work at about 80%... I have contacts who have been added in PM, and who make it back to AB, but not all. Same the other way. Not all my original names have made it to PM. Also, while groups have synced over, not all the names in the groups are there. Thoughts? -- Two trout are dining in a restaurant when one of them starts waving his empty glass in the air. The head waiter turns to another waiter and says, I think there's a fish out of water.

The more I use PowerMail, the more I like it but... I would like to see an UNDO function for deletion or moving messages . This was a very handy function to have in Mail.app and something I really miss. Imagine hitting Apple+Delete and realizing you want to go back quickly to check something... the message pops right back. Move to next unread message needs to work regardless of which way the column is sorted.

*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* On Tue, Mar 11, 2003, Mikke Byström said: *This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* Andy Fragen said like: PM saves the message database in a single file. It would logically be very difficult for Tri-Backup or any backup solution to only backup the changes to the message database without backing up the whole message database. This is the problem with all email clients that store the messages in a single file database. I could be wrong but I think that is what is meant above by backing up the email incrementally. I couldn't have said it better myself. I want an incremental back up solution for Email. For this you need automated export and import routines or a scripting solution that can get data from a message and write it into a database app. EmA for Emailer and Outlook is such an app. I imaging a similar one for PM. eMA works for PowerMail. http://homepage.mac.com/ThinkAgain/Mac/eMA/ -- Andy Fragen
Re: Backing up
Rick Lecoat sa: PM's database exists as a single file, and so I guess that incremental backup is not possible unless you go through the export process. Personally I just backup the whole Powermail Files folder anew each time, and to hell with incrementals. I used to do it like that but now my DB have been to 700 MB without attachments and and down again postbackup (Emailer 2) and didn't fit on a CD, which is my backup solution. So I got emA for Filemaker years ago and have been backing up to that for years in an incremental fashion. Unfortunately, I think emA is not adaptable to PM and I'm not fond anymore of using Filemaker (too expensive keeping that after having moved to other DB applications). Though there was also a less featured standalone version of emA. Yes, I know a 700 MB mail database is rare and mine now is only 500 ;), but if you backup the whole DB you also do risk that if corruption creeps in, that also your backups are affected. For me this is not an acceptable risk. For my workgroups even less so. So I want to be able to choose incremental backup strategies for all data. BTW, how is DB stability in PM 4? Much improved? Emailer have been great in that department for me since 2.0v3 was released 5 years ago (!). I'd like to choose something that will work for me the next 5 years or so. I'm hoping PM is that application.
