Re: How to delete a folder?
Writing this, I was dreaming of a real deleting folder function, not just an other way to transport folders to trash. ;-) move everything from your trash to a another folder, put the deleted folder in the trash and use the empty trash command, put your other trash back in the trash Cool idea, Pat, it works. Thank you! ;-)

Maybe it does. I will try if there is no other solution, but I've a 1-
month-schedule of automatic delete of the trash.
So your folder will be deleted one month after you moved it to the trash.
If you want to delete a folder immediately without emptying the mail
trash, you can do it via AppleScript:
tell application PowerMail
set folderList to current containers
repeat with f in folderList
set folderName to name of f
if (ID of f is ID of in tray) or (ID of f is ID of out tray) or
(ID of
f is ID of mail trash) or (ID of f is ID of spam container) then
display dialog The folder \ folderName \ can't
be deleted.
buttons {OK} default button OK
else
set nbMsg to number of messages of f
set nbSubFolders to number of message containers of f
set alertText to Do you want to delete the folder \
folderName
\ IMMEDIATELY? It contains nbMsg message(s)
if nbSubFolders 0 then set alertText to alertText
and
nbSubFolders subfolder(s)
set alertText to alertText . return There is
NO UNDO for this
operation!
set answer to display dialog alertText buttons {No,
Delete}
default button No
if button returned of answer is Delete then
delete f
end if
end if
end repeat
end tell

J'utilise PowerMail depuis pas mal de temps et le passage a Mac OS X
c'est juste fait en changeant l'application par celle compatible Mac
OS X. Tout est tres simple, puissant et rapide. Quand a l'impossibilité
d'envoi de mail en HTML c'est pas plus mal.

Nice feature html emails v5.1
Well, there are all sorts of (probably easy-to-fix) bugs with displaying html content with 5.1b1 (build 4325), but here is a nice feature. If you click in the displayed html, select all (cmd-A), and hit reply, you get a nice reply with the text of the html in a text-only email. Just what you would want. What is lacking is a) when nothing is selected, for PM to act as if everything is selected (as it does for text emails) b) a way to select a sentence, paragraph, etc. (Although selection of text in web browsers has always been implemented poorly, at least on the Mac).
