keyboard shortcut for Applescript?
I'm using PM 4.2 on OS X 10.2.6. Is there a way of assigning a keyboard shortcut to an AppleScript? I use SpamSieve and I'd love to have a shortcut for the add spam and add good scripts to save endless trips to the menu bar as I train the new version of SS. I remember in Entourage that you could append something to the name of the file and it would make a shortcut, but I don't remember how to do it or if it will work for PowerMail. Thanks. -- Judi Sohn . Mom at Home Design [EMAIL PROTECTED] . AIM/iChat: JudiS217 http://www.momathome.com
What does this error mean?
Greets - Using PM v4.12, under both OS X and OS 9.22, users occasinally receive this error: Unexpected error on popserver Class='file', what=100, when=4, err=-47 Any idea what is causing this? Gracias, z

I don't think I have the stomach for another experiment right now, but I'd appreciate hearing people's experiences. My mail file was 1.3gb, Powermail handled that fine. Hmm, so it's not the size. Powermail *was* handling mine fine for a few days, but now I'm stuck in an endless loop ... no matter what start up fixes I apply, once PowerMail finally comes up it flashes a dialog box saying it doesn't hae enough memory. If you click OK it just comes back again. The only way out is to force quit, which means it needs to rebuild everything again at the next startup. The memory problems first started when I asked PowerMail to rebuild the index (to deal with *another* problem). It seems stuck in a cycle of unhappiness at doing that. I've tried canceling the indexing in the little progress bar before the memory error pops up, but I can't get its attention fast enough. If I revert to a saved version of the PowerMail files (about a day old) then everything is O.K. So maybe I could selectively copy some good files from that folder to make this problem go away. If anyone has had similar problems and successfully resolved them, I'd appreciate hearing how. I don't plan to continue with PowerMail right now, but I would like to get my hands on that lost day's mail (I thought I had told PowerMail to leave messages on the server, but apparently not). I'm using PowerMail 4.2, OS X 4.2, on a PowerBook G4. I'm not having any crash problems at at. I looked at MailSmith prior to settling on PowerMail. Didn't like it at all, it felt horribly alien. But did it import your mail without a hitch? And how fast was the search engine?

Verifying records didn't get rid of the problem entirely, but moved it to a different mailbox. However, once you have the problem out of the In Tray, it's easier to fix. Create a new folder, move all the messages there, and delete the problem folder. I have to say, all this worries me a little. Plus I've been having crashes and refusals to wake up since I started using PowerMail, although it may be unrelated. I also started using SpamSieve and Keyboard Maestro at the same time. Anyone else with the same experience? Bill
