Unquote Applescript

[L. Cornelio]

is anyone able to 'fine tune" the unquote Applescript? If is of course a
good one; the only thing to make it better would be "unquote selection"
so that selection portion is the only part affected rather than whole
msg, which can be very useful at times.
thanks!
 

Re(2): Time to delete old messages

[George Henne]

The AppleScript is indeed slow - I gave up on it.

Moving the messages around seems a bit of a kludge, and also pretty slow.

What do the PM folks have to say? They could certainly write something
that work much more quickly!

Re(2): Time to delete old messages

[George Henne]

Perhaps I am missing something here. When I do this, the messages stay in
the Mail Trash. I think that all the delete is doing is moving the
messages to the Mail Trash, and doing nothing if already there.

Also, I have to use command shift (not just shift) to select a block of
messages.

PM is holding up just fine with the load. I wish the find options were
better tuned, though:
1. Find should have a stop if you don't want to keep waiting for results.
2. View Only is too slow.

Re: Finding my "Old" PowerMail Environment

[Marlyse Comte]

It is really hard helping you to find your old environment not knowing
what steps exactly you did do when you thought you where making a backup.
Also, a backup is in addition to the normal (not different) user
environment. So, you have your original environment, a backup of it which
you can't find plus the new environment? Which steps did you exactly do
to create a new environment?

Please provide exact steps of what you DID do (i.e. HOW did you (think
you did) create a backup? Via PM applescript or via copy in the finder?
Things like that

Re: Time to delete old messages

[Carl Ketterling]

You'll need to run an AppleScript to do something like that.  You can
find such a script at .

I've also done this manually by creating a new folder I call Temporary
Trash.  I move all of the "newer" messages from my trash into that
folder, then I delete what's left in the trash.  Finally, I move the
messages back to the trash folder.  Seems rather archaic, but it's
sometimes faster than waiting for an AppleScript to go through each message.

Re: Time to delete old messages

[Mirko Kranenburg]

I would say: sort by date, select the first one to delete, scroll to the
other side of the list, keep shift pressed, select last to delete, and
command-backspace should do it.

Not fancy, but probably quick!

By the way: how does PM behave with databases of that size?

Time to delete old messages

[George Henne]

I now have 15,000 messages in my Mail Trash and almost 10,000 messages in
Sent Mail. 

How do I get rid of the old ones, for example anything older than 90 days?

AppleScript and PowerMail message content

[Carl Ketterling]

If there are archives of this list, please let me know and I'll search them...

Otherwise, I'm trying to develop an AppleScript that will forward a
complete message (full headers and HTML content) to another account (yes,
for SPAM reporting).  If anyone has already started this project, even in
very rough form, please let me know.  Also, if anyone has already tried
this and failed, or if someone just has some advice, I'd like to know
that, too.

Thanks,
Carl

Do a search on your hard disk for a folder with the name "PowerMail
Files", or for some of the contents of that folder: "Address Database",
"Message Database", "Setup Database". This should give you at least one
other location than the new (and blank) environment you're seeing, if
it's on the disk. I'd guess your "Message Database" file would be fairly
large if it's got all your old stuff. That should help you know if it's
the right one. Note the path and navigate to it from File > Database >
Switch User Environment.

Hi Rick,
Just a thought, did you try either of the "preference reset" options at
the bottom of the Powermail First Aid window?

I sent this to PowerMail on Sunday but have received no reply.  

I've checked on my Mac for the folder and thought that I had created a
backup of the original environment, but the backup that I thought I had
created ended up having none of the original info in it.   I've just got
to believe that my original PowerMail environment is somewhere or at
least I hope so. 

I'm hoping someone can help me find my "old" PowerMail environment.

I tried to created a new user environment, and i guess i did so
successfully, but, I lost my old environment, or at least I don't know
how to show it anymore.  When I double-click the PowerMail icon I just
get the new environment.  I really need my old environment back because
its the one which has the folders into which I had organized my emails,
and it has all of the emails from my the software before I started to use
PowerMail.

What I'd like is different user environments for different email
accounts, and so I thought I created a new user environment.

Karel;
Thanks for the thought, but yeah, I've tried all those view switches,
changing it to View Unread and back to View All, but nothing makes any
difference. All the 'read' messages are visible, but there are no bold,
ie. unread ones in the list. I made screenshot of a portion of the
window, showing my inbox (nothing secret or incriminating at the moment).
It's at:

Hi Rick

Are you sure that you have the 'View All'  command selected? (Menus ->
View -> View All)
That happened to me once; for some reason it 'automagically' changed to
'View Unread', while some unread messages didn't show up.
I did the same things as you, apparently without succes until I
discovered this menu glitch.
