Re: HTML Messages Hang PM
Yes, I also suffer from this problem. If it gets too difficult I have to disable Preferences/HTML completely. If all 3 Preferences/HTML boxes are ticked then this problem occurs frequently so most of the time 'Download external picture if connected' remains unticked. Unlike you, after the Force Quit the message can't be viewed without unticking the problem Preferences/HTML box. Viewing web pages on IE is no problem so I feel the problem must lie somewhere within PM.

If I click on the message to view it, the colored beach ball appears immediately and after a requisite amount of time, I check the PM icon in the dock. The pop-up menu says Application not responding and Force Quit is active. During this time, PM is not responsive at all, no menus or clicks allowed. Most of the time, but not always, reentering PM after Force Quit allows the message to be viewed. The one offender that might be familiar to some is the VersionTracker daily mailing of new items added. The display of the HTML looks pretty good and most of the time I can use it to view items of interest. The one thing that might be common among the messages that cause this behavior is that the CSS for the page is inserted at the top before the other Web content. Any ideas? Is this known?
Re: Database Error + crashes on connect
Hi all, Although it appeared that my Norton problems were over i'm still having issues. Presently if I put my computer to sleep, wake up and Powermail crashes (system inc). An fsck shows an Incorrect Block Count for Message Database, Orphaned indirect nodes, etc. A low level rebuild is required followed by rebuilding sort indexes. Norton 8.0 run in Emergency mode now no longer provides a undo feature, so i'm truly stuck. Anyone have any ideas how I can sort this, am I going to need to buy TechTool or other? If so which would be most suited to this problem? Any ideas how I can fix my insomnia? Many thanks, Adam On Fri, 2 Apr 2004 19:22:52 +0900 Matthias Schmidt wrote: I think Norton warns you not to use it without having a backup. So, if you have one, use it.

Following fixing this I have had nothing but db errors. A database error has occurred Class=DB, what=100, when=9; err=158 If I do a low level rebuild it sorts things out, but i'm repeatedly getting crashes on connecting. Freezes taking system down as well. Then it's back to a low level rebuild again! G4 733 - OS 10.2.8 Presently I can't receive mail with PM. Any suggestions? Is there anything I can reset to get the connection working again? Many thanks, Adam
Re: PowerMail Wish - Sorting Folders
On Wed, Apr 14, 2004, the following words from Riva Freifeld [EMAIL PROTECTED], emerged from a plethora of SPAM ... cheshirekat on Sat, 10 Apr 2004 02:32:34 -0600 wrote: I currently have 67 folders and 81 filters and can't use any email program for more than a few minutes without setting up at least a couple dozen folders and filters. I would have many more folders than I do now, if it were possible to sort them the way I want to. I seem to recall that with the old Emailer, all you did was drag each folder to the position you wanted it in. Anyway, add that to my wish list. I manage to sort my email folders in PowerMail by the way I name the folders. Important stuff gets an underscore at the beginning of the name, like _Apple, _NYTimes and _Receipts. Mailing lists all begin with List; ListPowerMail, ListAppleScriptUsers, ListCW, ListPalmMac and ListX-11. Friends are grouped together; FriendBob, FriendSandraL and FriendRon. FamilyMom, FamilyUncleTed. Some folder names start with a z or zz so they sort at the bottom of the folder list. In Emailer, I used to have a bunch of AppleScripts that filed messages that I sent to myself from work, or via webmail based on the first part of the subject so I learned to make sure the important folders were always at the top. I frequently used Emailer to keep track of contacts, unconfirmed appointments or To Dos by starting the message with something like !_!Reminder, !_!ContactInfo or !_!Stat. The folders at the bottom of the list I didn't have to even glance at but once in a while. PM makes that system difficult since the Trash is at the bottom of my list, so I have to check to make sure my legit mail didn't get accidently marked as spam by one of my filters. I wish all the default folders could be at the very top, as a group. Being able to run AppleScripts in the Schedules would help immensely with making PM the core of my computing also, but now that I moved from desktop Mac to PowerBook and I also got a Palm, I haven't had to be quite so creative about reminders, folder naming and sending myself email subject triggers. I would rush home to check my email FIRST to see if there was stuff that had been acted upon or filed based upon whether the folder was bold. It seemed to happen too frequently that I'd get a new phone or address update and didn't want to forget by the time I got home. By sending myself email, I could avoid having scraps of paper that I'd written hurriedly - and couldn't decipher later. I'm still finding phone numbers and email addresses written on empty envelopes with just a first name or meaningless note from a week-long conference I attended two years ago when I didn't have computer access or a Palm. cheshirekat -- Sometimes even to live is an act of courage. - Lucius Annaeus Seneca, writer and philosopher * 867 PowerBook G4 * OS X 10.2.8 * 768 MB Ram *

For example I now have a list of 15 folders. I would actually like to have about 30 - 40 folders. I want to sort them in a certain order -- by frequency of use. I don't want them to be subfolders of each other. Some of them will have their own subfolders. Riva Freifeld New York, NY

I have some filters that pop up an alert. It would be nice if there was a button to allow me to jump to that message in the Recent Mail window. Is that possible with that sort of pop up? Mark Mark Gerber GERBER STUDIO/Tradigital Illustration http://www.gerberstudio.com
