Re: CPU Usage query_PowerMail V. 5.1b3 demo

I think this explains the high CPU activity - perhaps it is looking for a database that doesn't exist? Because the demo has expired, I have no way of instituting a new database or a previous one because the program is for all intents and purposes locked. Perhaps someone on staff could explain the HD activity with 5.1? V. 4.1.2 - as I mentioned previously, works without fault on my system. I would really like to upgrade PM to V.5 but until I can resolve the CPU and HD activity, I can't. John I'm investigating the possibility of upgrading PM from V. 4.1.2 to version 5.

From: alan [EMAIL PROTECTED] On a much faster machine (2 x 2.0 GHz G5) I get 0.2-0.5% usage (out of 200%) when PM is in the background. OSX 10.3.latest. From: Sean McBride [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your CPU is slow, but I think that's certainly not normal. I do have CPU-usage problems with PM 5.1b3 though. When checking for mail, PM briefly uses 100% CPU for about 2 seconds. The app becomes totally unresponsive and the mail checking progress bar freezes up. Quite annoying. I have a 1.2 GHz G4. Anyone see this?

Hi John, One problem I do notice however is the excessive CPU usage with this demo.. Activity Monitor indicates 45 to 55% CPU usage when Powermail V.5 is idle.

Please tell me I haven't lost all my emails! thanks in advance Mano
Re: deleting accounts existing in recieved email messages?
PowerMail Engineering said: What happens if I delete an account for which I have recieved and keep messages in my DB? Is it reassigned or are the messages orphaned? This was a great problem in Emailer, when it came to exporting, so I'd prefer to know. Nothing wrong. This was a bit too cryptic for me. What did you mean?
