I don't think the physical keyboard matters.  I have a US keyboard,
and Kotoeri, including the auto-complete feature, works in all
applications I tried.  It works in PowerMail, too, except for
auto-complete.

It doesn't work on me either.
However, I was under the impression it only works with JP keyboard,
which I have none.

The Kotoeri auto-complete feature doesn't work for me either
in PowerMail, and I don't have Spell Catcher X installed, so
that's not a factor.  It's not a WASTE issue either, because
auto-complete works in other Carbon applications that use WASTE
(both versions 2.x and 3.0) for text editing.  I suspect
PowerMail may be somehow special-casing the tab key.

Alas, it doesn't work here in PowerMail. 
Even using the arrow keys, all that happens is that Kotoeri scrolls 
through the possibilities for the entered characters, not jump to the 
pop-up list of previously used kanji combinations, which are often much 
longer than the bit of text currently entered. (This is what makes this 
Japanese text input feature so useful.)

I am using PM 5.2.3 on OS X 10.4.6

I also have Spell Catcher X installed, which might be a factor.
However, this auto-complete function works in everything else, 
including GyazMail, used to write this message.

お早う、

it works fine for me. Which version (PM, OS) do you use?
I don't know, if tab is thought to be used here.
I'm using the arrow-keys to scroll to the Kanji, I'm looking for and the
enter-key to select it.
Hope that helps,

よろしく、

All the best

Japanese Auto Complete & PowerMail :-(

[Mark Smith]

Has anybody managed to get the auto-complete function for Japanese text 
input in OS X to work with PowerMail? (For those of you who do not know 
what this is, it is a function in OS X which displays a pop-up window 
displaying previous kanji combinations when you enter similar text.) 

Although the pop-window appears, pressing the tab key to select the 
suggestion simply enters a tab character in PM. I originally though 
this was a Cocoa vs Carbon issue, but Japanese auto-complete works fine 
in Word and Excel v.X, which are both Carbon applications. I believe 
this is a system-wide feature, so what is PM doing that prevents it 
from using it?

I might have guessed the solution was easy, but not necessarily obvious
(to me anyway!) That was exactly it. The ability of folders to each have
a unique property of View read/unread was what made the messages
'disappear' . When pulled from a subfolder (with View All set) and
dropped to a parent folder (with View Unread), they disappeared! 

Thanks Rick!
