Re: Setting PM as the Default Email Reader
Hi Giovanni, Hello, is there anyone out there that can eventually work out a solution for this problem? I'm using FileMaker's Send Mail function but it won't work if Mail isn't set as the default reader. How can I get PowerMail to interact with this script step? You can use MisFox (in the PowerMail Extras folder) to set PowerMail as the default mail app. This might do it, depending on how FileMaker is programmed.

Is there any way to redirect HTML using Powermail. Occassionally I get an email which has quite a lot of html in it but when I either FORWARD or REDIRECT it the html is stripped. Ta. Carl Carl

Re: Exporting from PowerMail - all mail is Unread
I posted this last week and never got any pick-up on it. Does anyone know how I can get the read/unread flag to come across correctly?

Today I decided to back up so I compacted data base and copied PM files folder to a 2nd interior hard drive. While I was at it I decided to trash what seemed to be an old PM files folder from December, 2005. I ended up rearranging and moving around various other copies of PM files. When I decided to open PM again to get mail, lo and behold, 'unexpected quit.' Repeatedly. At this point I cannot open PM. I have gone back and made sure that both drives have the PM key as well as Sept 17, 2007 PM files folder, but I have not been able to undo whatever damage I've done. One more thing: I finally decided to restart and indeed PM did open long enough for me to notice that the email in my Recent folder was dated 5/4/07 (or thereabouts) and I appear to have lost the most recent mail. I can live with that if only I can get PM working again. Any suggestions as to my next step? OS X 10.4.10, PowerMac G4, PM 5.2.2. I've used PM, licensed, for about 8-10 years.

Graham, I don't follow: if I export from PowerMail, and then import into Mail, why would all the mail be unread to Mail? Am I missing something here?

Hey Steve, I don't use Apple Mail, but is there not some way (as there is in PowerMail) to select a range of messages and then mark them as unread? Wouldn't that solve the problem? Alternatively, if the issue is that you have a mix of read and unread messages in PM whose statuses you wish to preserve, I would suggest creating additional temp folder[s], moving the unread messages to there for the export, and then re-adjusting their statuses accordingly once in Apple Mail. -b

Ben, Thanks for your thoughts. The idea is to preserve the read/unread status where the messages reside. I have over 100 nested folders, somewhere between 50k-100k emails, and the read and unread are interspersed throughout. Creating an unread folder and moving all unread mail there, then putting it back, would be a massive undertaking.
