Most GUIs of Database backup utilities suck IMHO, including EMA. While that is not such a big problem for me, except aesthetically, being a database developer and getting most things at first try, I am deliberately also a bit lazy using interfaces and rather have one GUI for my mail messages, that I really like, like PM which happen to be my choice. There's in addition the problems involving moving data effectively back from the backup apps, if you're still using that data actively. This while avoiding duplication and loss of data or loss of data integrity (context). While possible to achieve, this can easily take more time than keeping them in PowerMail, at least if those issuesa re important to you. This is only my view on message management of course and I welcome differing attitudes and other ways of managing data as that is always interesting. Having said this I also acknowledge the value of backing up and EMA is one solution that may work for some. Personally, I prefer simple UNIX mailboxes though.

The - operator (as well as | and "") is to be used only when using the [matches the search pattern] criterion. These operators are ignored when using the 4 first criterion.

Re: Is PM 4 the last version for Mac OS 9?
Yes, PM4 is the last version, and it is not database compatible with PM 5. PM4 is a very capable solution for OS 9. If you want to see what you are missing compared to PM4, check out the what's new on www.ctmdev.com For most uses under 9 there should not be a problem!

Is PM 4 the last version for Mac OS 9?
I'm using PowerMail 5.01 on Mac OSX. I want to recommend it to people still on OS 9, (and do not have the option of upgrading to OSX) but I need to know if they will get the same experience that I'm having. It appears that PM 5.01 is only for Mac OS X. Is this true? What are the main differences between 5.01 & the version for Mac OS 9? Has the database format changed as well? Dave

Re: Search needs help
The best spam filter is webmail. 1. Use webmail and log into your pop account. My Isp has one, or you can use Panadmail or others. I just start Safari and Powermail at the same time, and log in through webmail using Safari. Then... 2. "Select all" 3. Look down the list and uncheck the ones you want to keep. This way the spam is still selected. 4. "Delete" cleans out all the spam and leaves the good stuff 5. log out and then switch to Powermail. (Using my Kensington 4-button trackball it's the upper left button, scroll to Powermail & click. 6. log in with Powermail and just download the remaining contents of your mailbox. I can clean 120 emails in about 2 minutes this way, usually keeping 3-4. The only trick is not to do it backwards and keep the ones you want to trash and trash the ones you want to keep. I have done this. No big deal. If it's important they'll email again.
Search needs help
Background: I am in a mess because my server has catch all. I am now receiving over 120 SPAM mails within every 3-4 hours. PM5's SPAM filter feature is great, but I am tired of checking them before deleting. Once in a while I find legit one. This is SPAM Assassin's fault, tho. Whenever I make online purchase, I used to give a new email address, i.e., [EMAIL PROTECTED] This way, I was able to identify if the place is SPAMming me or sold my address to someone else. It used to work 6-7 years ago this way. Not anymore. So, I want to shut off catch all switch, especially my domain address is now used to other people too, but since I still need to receive some legit emails under these catch all addresses, I now have to create these accounts to make them real addresses. The problem is that I don't remember all of them. So, here comes the problem I am having. I want to find all the addresses under @a-no-ne.com excluding the real ones such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] My problem is that I can't make them excluded from PM5 search. "Do not contain" option is grayed (why?). I tried [-"[EMAIL PROTECTED] ne.com"] as manual sez but still no exclusion, with or without the quote signs. Just for the heck of it, I tried "!" as in RegEx but to no avail. Do you know what I am doing wrong? -- - Hiro [PROTECTED] <[PROTECTED]> <[PROTECTED]>
