Re: Connection failure
Hello, I’m waiting for the man (with a valid upgrade coupon) 34,30 euros in my hand DDV You need to upgrade to the latest PowerMail. Previous versions used an old networking API that has been removed from Mavericks. Jeremy

Frequent crashes and finally dead
Hello, I'm getting frequent crashes lately when moving messages from my inbox to a different folder, not always but more frequently all the time. This morning Powermail refused to open and all first aids didn't bring my Message Database back to life. A backup from two days ago worked after rebuilding indexes. Still using Powermail 5.5 but it worked fine until a couple of months ago when this problem started occurring. Theoretically there's no need for me to upgrade since I don't need rich text formatting, but maybe I'm missing out on reliability or compatibility issues as well. Anyway, I tried several times to get an upgrade coupon from the Powermail website to no avail Any suggestions on how to keep my Database and (10 years of messages) reliable and healthy?

printing email with attachment visible
hello, i need to send someone proof that an email i sent contained an attachment. the attachment was most likely removed by the recipient's firewall since a reply contained a *** PROBABLY SPAM *** addition to the message subject. when i print an email from powermail, the print shows subject, date sent, from, to, cc, and the message text. but there is no visible mentioning of an attachment like there is in the message window. anybody an idea how this can be done? thanks, ddv
filesalvage powermail database
hello, does anybody have experience with recovering a powermail database from an emptied trash? i tried with filesalvage, but this only recognizes usual file types such as jpgs, word docs, etc. a powermail database doesn't have any extension (as far as i can tell), which makes it even more difficult to trace it. data rescue, any experience? thanks, ddv
powermail not connecting
hi, since a week powermail suddenly fails to get mail from a particular server. i have no problems to get mail from other servers, and with identical settings, 'apple mail' and 'popmonitor' do get the mail from this particular server. what could be the cause and/or where can i find out what the problem might be? ddv powermail 5.5.3 powerbook 1.33 GHz mac os x 10.4.9
garbled html
hi, i have a problem reading html mails, not the kind of html that has images and colors and stuff integrated, but usually it's just plain message that people reply to. i send them a message from powermail in plain text, they reply (from hotmail or gmail account) in html, and all i can see is ddv wrote. after that it looks like all the text is printed on top of each other in an unreadable font ddv

hello, i'm on a trip, 9 timezones away from my usual locations. i changed the time zone in date time system preferences, but it looks like powermail didn't get it all. incoming messages ar shown at the right time, but outgoing messages are still registered at my home time. now replies show up 9 hours earlier in the list when ordered by 'date sent'. any ideas? powermail 5.1 os 10.3.7 using postfix ddv * ___EXTREMITIES ___ DDV in Vladivostok http://www.clubmoral.com/ddv/invladivostok 14 april - 12 may 2005 _DDV___ *
Re: printing
rene, Bring away the file Setup Database from directory Power Mail Files. (Do not delet-it yet.) Restart PM. that did the trick, but then all my 'setup' stuff is gone of course. any way to re-import it? i didn't delete it because i use it now ;) ddv
Re(2): printing
Rene, Seems. that it's an error code of your printer. Brother? i use several printers, including a 'brother'. but even when that printer isn't checked because i rarely use it, powermail won't print. as a test, i deleted the printer from print center. still get the same error. Other idea: The font with which the mail should be printed is not ok. (To check this, use the same font in an other application and print-it out.) i save the message as text, open it in text edit, use same font and it prints fine. ddv
Re(2): printing
hello, when printing a text message from powermail, it shows error -9465. if you use the last beta-version (5.1b3) there is an issue with printing (it's openly announced with the beta readme) but I don't remember exactly what.

Re(2): what *really* happens when trash is deleted?
hello, The reference of the message is erased from the DB, but the message content is still present in the file until new messages are received. This means that you can't recover the message, but you may find its content by examining the message database file with a file editor like HexEdit. it's also possible to open the message database with bbedit, there you can find message header with a simple search a bit of luck. ddv
Re: 28th Line
Richard, i had the same thing, albeit with the second item instead of 28th. + with powermail 4 on os 9.1! it went away after i rebuilt the database on startup compacted the database from the file menu afterwards. indeed it was quite harmless, but pretty weird for sure. ddv PowerMail support has no idea what's going on, so I'd like to find out whether anyone else is experiencing this. PowerMail 5.0.1 OS X 10.3.5 In every folder, the 28th item is highlighted as though it is selected. It is not selected, however. If I click on any other message, I can open it, delete it, etc. But that 28th message always remains highlighted. It's not harmful on its own, but it's so confusing, that I am always afraid I will delete the wrong message when I click on the trash icon. Anyone else see this? RH
empty mail trash / leave on server
hello, just wondering, what happens if i have 'leave mail on server' on, then move a message to the trash and then empty the trash? is the message still on the server? i know i can select 'delete from server when deleting locally', but what if i share the mailbox with a collegue who still might want to read the messages after i trashed them (and emptied the trash and compacted the mail database). ddv
dictionary
hello, i use powermail 4.1.2 on an english system 10.2. i send mail in english, dutch and sometimes french or german, so i have the spelling set to multilingual. some words (like 'powermail') are not in the dictionary. tried many times to add them, but this never seems to work. the 'custom dictionary' file remains zero kb. how does this work - if it works? ddv
Re(2): bold folders
hello, How many unread messages are displayed in the counter (near the horizontal scrollbar of the message list)? all of them list 1 message unread. one of them is a folder i only use for (manual) archiving, so no unread messages ever get there anyway. Maybe you have unread messages in some unexpanded subfolders? nope, one of them doesn't have subfolders at all. 'view unread only' shows zero messages and counts 0 messages ddv
bold folders
hello, it's been on the list before, so i checked out my messages, and did all the things recommended. but i still have 3 bold folders with 'unexisting' unread messages. - rebuilt index - compacted database - checked consistency - low level rebuild as well all together as one by one also verified and reset permissions on disk etc. grrr what did i miss? ddv
Re(6): Hidden unread message in In Tray
William, i had the same problem - powermail got stuck indexing about halfway 17.000 messages and ended up in the dreadful loop. the indexing gets stuck on 1 or more messages that are 'corrupt'. since powermail starts indexing where it stopped as soon as you launch it after force quit, it hits the 'corrupt' message right away, goes into loop before you can turn off indexing (which solves the problem but you can't profit the new search performance at full speed). to find the 'corrupt' message you can export each folder (+ subfolder separately), if one folder fails to export because of memory failure, the message is in there. narrow down the content of the folder by moving messages to a temporary folder until you find it. delete the message and you should be able to start up powermail. however, turn off indexing right away. i have one message still in my trash which doesn't want to go when i empty trash. if i start indexing and the indexing process comes to the trash, i'll hit the loop again. so i'm waiting for the powermail team to solve 2 problems, how can i use the new super-indexing system?, and how can i get rid of that one 'corrupt' message in my trash? ddv Hmm, so it's not the size. Powermail *was* handling mine fine for a few days, but now I'm stuck in an endless loop ... no matter what start up fixes I apply, once PowerMail finally comes up it flashes a dialog box saying it doesn't hae enough memory. If you click OK it just comes back again. The only way out is to force quit, which means it needs to rebuild everything again at the next startup. The memory problems first started when I asked PowerMail to rebuild the index (to deal with *another* problem). It seems stuck in a cycle of unhappiness at doing that. I've tried canceling the indexing in the little progress bar before the memory error pops up, but I can't get its attention fast enough. If I revert to a saved version of the PowerMail files (about a day old) then everything is O.K. So maybe I could selectively copy some good files from that folder to make this problem go away. If anyone has had similar problems and successfully resolved them, I'd appreciate hearing how. I don't plan to continue with PowerMail right now, but I would like to get my hands on that lost day's mail (I thought I had told PowerMail to leave messages on the server, but apparently not).
Re(6): error not enough memory
Karel, I managed to delete the messages as follows: ctrl-click (or right-click with a 2 button mouse) on it select 'Move to Mail Trash' from the pop-up use the keyboard 'Cmd-backspace' for emptying the trash tried all those, the trash will empty all other messages, but one little devil keeps sticking in there, resulting in error. at least the error doesn't loop. on the other hand the trash keeps counting messages, even when they're gone. it now says '92 messages' with only one there. ddv
Re(4): error not enough memory
Karel, You don't have to import the messages again. Just use the export function to see where it hangs, so you can determine the problem message and then delete it as described. As a result you should end up with a 'clean' powermail database. yep, did exactly that. but i'm unable to delete 1 message, which still locks up indexing. script 'delete message immediately doesn't work. rebuilt database. any way to remove it manually from the file with bbedit perhaps? ddv
not enough memory to empty trash
still trying to upgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.2 traced down 2 messages out of about 17000 that were the culprit, they couldn't be exported either. so i removed them. now one of them is sitting in the trash, and no way to empty it always get error 'not enough memory' i rebuilt the database etc, no avail. don't like to export all the folders because 1. subfolders don't get exported so i have to rename a bunch of folders i use for manual sorting and 2. i filter messages to get a specific label color depending on they're incoming outgoing etc. all that disappears during export/import. and of course, 4.2 still locks up on indexing eh, any ideas? ddv
Re(2): error not enough memory
yes, that could be the problem. it started indexing allright but now hangs with 16109 messages to go. i updated another database with 22000 messages without any problems. a bit tedious indeed having to export and import :( ddv downloaded the new 4.2 final. when i open the application, it starts to reindex and then suddenly stops with the message 'not enough memory'. the message keeps coming up when clicking 'ok'. the only way to get out is to force-quit powermail. it indexed about 100 messages and now stops each time on launch immediately. how can i increase memory? I encountered the same problem when trying to create the new search index. PM probably 'hangs' on one or two corrupted HTML-messages. (At least it was in my case). I reported this problem and my workaround on this list on July 7. For this workaround you need to access (a copy of) your database with the previous pm version. this is what I wrote: / snip--- From: Karel Gillissen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Powermail Testing [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Hang on indexing (reproducable) Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2003 17:37:05 +0200 Same problem here. In my case it appeared to be two corrupted HTML-messages which I received on 15-01-2001. (I could read them at that time with pm3 but they somehow got ... well I don't know, I never opened them since) Here is how I pinpointed them (a bit tedious, but it works): Try to export your mail database (I used eudora mailbox format, but tabulated text will do also) Most probably the export-proces hangs at the same messages which concern the index-problem. Force quit pm and examine the exportfile to see where it has stuck. If your mail database is in one large folder it might help to export the database in handy proportions by selecting parts and doing an export on the selected messages only. If all's well you know now which messages to delete. In my case I deleted them by crtl-click on them and select 'Move to mail trash' as pm hanged itself when trying to read the messages (or select them in 3-pane view). (for Jérôme: these are the same messages I reported to you in my Meiringen report, Indexing gave the message 'An error occurred not enough memory' which kept on coming after clicking it away; I had to do a force- quit to bail out) /snip --
Re(2): error not enough memory
The first thing I recommend is that you disable indexing immediately in preferences when starting the application.
