Minus 200 messages unread
My spam folder is showing weird totals: 250 messages, -240 unread. Note the minus sign. Is this a known bug? All of a sudden I'm now also getting an empty Spam folder, as if the messages are immediately deleted, except that the Mail Trash is empty. And there are messages on the server, all marked read, so they should be somewhere. Strange. I've rebooted, but no change. V. -- Victor Eijkhout http://www.eijkhout.net/
Re: PM support for 'threaded viewing'?
to further fuel the threaded viewing discussion, here is the way GNUmail graphically supports threading -the only one nicer than MacSOUP: http://www.collaboration-world.com/gnumail.data/screenshots/v1.2.0pre1/ gnumail-osx.png I don't know wether it's good or bad for PM because I *didn't* try GNUMail. I didn't yet make up my mind as concerns these stories of free-vs-open source-vs-normally developped by small courageous teams software; I suspect one of the obvious outcomes will be the latter category will be hit again (after surviving Apple's Mail)... Hervé Well, I just counted all persons reacting to the idea of threading on this forum for the last 15 months. On this very thread, we are seven, of which two declare threading of no use. The five of us interested are you (Mirko), Alexander Balakersky, Shane Stanley, Sean McBride (the OP) and me. During the past year, there were three discussions where threading was advocated; additional interested people were Jean de Crombrugghe, Mikael Byström, Barbara Needham, and maybe Wayne Brissette (which post was neither positive not negative). This totals to nine persons off this list, which is probably read by a couple of hundred people (I counted 140 different addresses in the interesting posts I keep from the same period of time). Ten out of two hundred is, well, 5% of PM users, maybe even less since users not on this maillist could well be less demanding users. This is why, although frenetically supportive for threading here, I switched to MacSoup for list handling. Indeed, I am quite sensitive to the idea that maillists are closer to usenet groups than to mail. For this very reason many usenet newsreaders propose to handle mail too, in a seamless way, and indeed the kind of info handled in maillists is quite the same as in usenet newsgroups, much more at least than in personal mails... What is now of interest, at least for me, is the becoming of info sharing with new developing tools such as wikis, blogs and RSS. I noticed recently for the first time a poster asking my RSS newsreader doesn't show usenet groups, why? -something almost nobody would have expected, and even understood, just one year ago :-) Also, before selecting my own RSS newsreader I tried to list them: on the mac platform only, there are more than twenty dedicated applications, this not counting the RSS-enabled browsers and a large variety of docklings and tickers*. As many as the mailreader apps on mac, and maybe four times the number of usenet newsreaders. I even found some of them mimicking completely... a mail client interface (PulpFiction and MacFreePOPs) It may well be that the next threading-capable application on the mac platform will be built around an RSS newsreader ;-) Hervé (*) FWIW, my list is on http://sainct.ouvaton.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Mac/RSSforMac -- remove .listes and add a dot after fh please enlevez .listes et ajoutez un point après fh

Re: Still trying to fix my corruption problems
Is there any reason you have been ignoring my suggestions? I'm sorry your so offended, but yes... there are some reasons. I don't have a copy of PM 4 installed and Jerome has been offering me suggestions that appear to be far easier to try first. I have also not forgotten that you were one of the guys that suggested fixing a problem I had using a nuke before checking to see if a firecracker would work first. I put aside your advice and instead tried the firecracker, got my problem fixed, and then you argued with me that I had made some sort of mistake by not following your advice (which incidentally would not have fixed my problem). I'm not saying that your current advice regarding the index problem is BAD advice, it's just that I've been exploring the options Jerome has been suggesting first as I did with my earlier problem. Unlike my earlier problem, Jerome's suggestions haven't worked for me. I'll wait to see what Jerome has to say about the new error I've received and if he can't offer anything new, then I'll bite the bullet and follow your suggestion of going back to PM4 and then forward again to PM5.

How many times did I tell you that you need to export from PM5 to PM4. To repeat myself, the corruption you got is at PM5 indexing mechanism. Reimporting into PM5 won't fix it. You need to make your database clean in PM4 then move to PM5. I also told you many times I had the exact same problem, and this was the only way I could fix my problem.
