This is clearly not the issue. It asks for her admin password every time she
opens PowerMail. The computer is hers alone, no user account switching is
involved.
Thanks for the response.

I think this happens when backuping the registration file (PMKey). It is
stored both in the preferences folder, and inside the PowerMail.app package,
and if you are using multiple OS X user accounts, you may have to provide an
administrator password for this. However, this should only happen once (if
you enter the admin password).

I recently have purchased a license of FoxTrot Professional and
it's really one of the best software investments I've made.
[...] With FoxTrot I can find the context in the document I'm
looking for, and not just the file to search in it. And the time
scroll also lets me narrow the results, in real time.

Thanks for the suggestion, Winston, but no luck with this solution, either.
Your time is very much appreciated.
Cheers,

This is a guess, but I wonder if PowerMail is trying to store login
information for your wife's email account(s) in the Apple Keychain's login
keychain, and there is some corruption in the relevant Keychain entry.
First quit PowerMail.
Then open the Keychain application (probably in the Utilities folder in the
Applications folder, on my old Mac it's called Keychain Access), then
delete any login entries that relate to your wife's email account
(pop.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com, for example, if she has a gmail account).
The login keychain should be at the top of the list of keychains in
Keychain.
Then restart PowerMail. You may have to re-enter login info via the
SetupMail Accounts... menu.
If you want to be really thorough, delete her email account via SetupMail
Accounts... in PowerMail before removing the Keychain login entries, then
re-set up the account(s) in PowerMail after you've deleted the Keychain
entries.
Note that deleting an email account in PowerMail via SetupMail Accounts...
will not delete any mail already saved. It will only delete the login info
for that email account.
Good luck.

Using Palatino Regular (I think). I use Palatino often with Word, and it does
not have any problems. I have Palatino set in PreferencesDisplayRich Text. I
normally don't change the font from the Format menu, other than to make the
font larger. It's set for 12 in Preferences, but normally comes out looking
like 9 point, so I hit Bigger a couple of times from the format menu.
I do wish there were a way to see what font and size was set from the Format
menu. If I make any changes from the default it's impossible to know which
