PM Truncates Text String
I've just added a new mail account that has a quite long domain name. In the "Mail Accounts" window > Receiving tab > Incoming mail server field I've inserted the "pop3." prefix followed by a 34 character string. After completing the settings I discovered that PM won't receive any incoming messages because, in some way, it had truncated the last seven characters of the incoming mail string. It actually cut off the characters that exceeded the field where they where inserted in, in the "Mail Accounts" window. Though, this happens after saving the Mail accounts window. In all the other fields this don't occur even though these fields are containing a larger number of characters than what they can actually display. Any suggestion? Thank you in advance. Giovanni

Hello, when adding a new contact in the address book sometimes i deal with two persons who share the same email address; this happens, for instance, with two little brothers who's real email is their father's.

Thank you for the explanation, Rene.

For instance, when I send a message to a list it is some times important to have all the recipients changed to BCC.

DB Message Full With Low # Messages
Hello This is the strange thing happened to me yesterday: PowerMail advised me that it can't handle a message database bigger than 2GB, so I selected some 40/50 messages stored in a folder since about a year ago, moved them to trash, and when told PM to delete the trash folder; an alert window then reported I was going to delete something like 67.000 messages. I really had something like 2.000 messages distributed in all folders. Probably, this has something to do with the fact I can't still see messages in the trash folder. Is it possible that some kind of invisible files are piled up somewhere in PM? How can the actual size of my message DB's be 1.91 GB with not more than 2000 visible messages? In any case, I'll try to proceed as if the only problem was the DB's size and would like to ask you: 1. Is the message database increased by the Address Book as well? 2. If compacting the Database, can I still read single messages? 3. What would you prefer between compacting the DB and exporting the messages? Thank you in advance Giovanni Andreani

PowerMail Spam Filter and SpamSieve
Thank you for the SpamSieve tips I was wondering if SpamSieve works filtering messages before PowerMail does. For example, let's say I've created a filter where Mr. White's mails are considered as spam and therefore immediately deleted. Once SpamSieve is trained to recognize the same incoming messages as spam is it going to act before PowerMail's filters and, if so, is there any sense in keeping these filters active? Thank you Giovanni
Training SpamSieve
Thank you all for the advices about legal email lists; I can see, looking around the web, that the really genuine legal ones are almost inexistent, as David Gordon suggested. Meanwhile, I've installed the trial version of SpamSieve but can't find the scripts for training it. The help doc says: "To train SpamSieve with spam messages, select one or more of them and then choose SpamSieve - Train Spam from the Scripts menu. To train SpamSieve with good messages, select one or more of them and then choose SpamSieve - Train Good from the Scripts menu." Am I missing something? Thank you Giovanni

Spammers Addresses, SpamSieve and Legal Email Lists
First of all, thanks for the help on the scripts regarding copying body's content (btw cheshirekat, the script works perfectly now). I've got three questions to supply to your attention: First: I'm one of those who filters incoming spam by applying rules. The problem now is that the phenomenon is increasing in volume and I would like a software to help me do the job: how efficient is SpamSieve in doing this? Second: I've got about 400 email addresses of spammers active in the last twelve months. Is there any use if I propose to share them with the members of this community? And is this possible for the moderator of this list? Third question: I'm looking to purchase a list of email addresses for commercial advertisement; can you eventually indicate a serious company who provide such lists? Thank you in advantage Giovanni

Copying Body's Content
Hello Is there any way I can automatically copy the content of a message, paste it in a text editor (Bbedit), go to the next message and repeat the same action until the last message in the folder is copied? Am I asking to much? Thank you Giovanni

Filter Questions
Hello Is there a limit at the number of filters one can create on PowerMail? I don't intend the conditions and the actions in the right side pane of the Mail Filters window but the actual filters in the left side pane Thank you Giovanni Andreani

Hotmail versus PowerMail
Hello for work reasons I had to buy a hotmail service. Unfortunately, the "settings" section on the hotmail site is very poor and OE oriented. Does anyone from this list know what parameters I have to insert in the incoming and outgoing fields in PowerMail's mail account box for receiving/sending from my hotmail account? Thank you in advance Giovanni Andreani
copying from address book
One more to ask when I drag drop an address from the address book to a text editor's open window, I get: Name Surname <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or if the email is stored without a name and surname, i get. [EMAIL PROTECTED] not enclosed in the "< >" symbols. My question is: can I get the email address to be always copied within the "< >" symbols, even if it's stored in the address book without a name and surname? Thank you in advance Giovanni Andreani

I've opened a word document, opened the folder in the address book, selected the addresses and dragged them on the word document. The result is that only the first address is copied, all the others are not. Just can't work it out; any suggestions? Thank you Giovanni
Conditional Filter
Sorry, I forgot to include this second question in the previous topic . I've been trying to work this out, but with no success. Can I set a filter to put a new message in a specific folder in the folder's list if the sender's address is already in Address Book? And, eventually, how? Thank you Giovanni

No Default Account
Hello, I've downloaded the 5.1b1 and resolved my html problems I had before, thanks to Jérôme.

Reading - HTML

Same Accounts for Different Users
PowerMail is set to login several accounts with many filers activated. There are two users logging on the mac, so I was asking myself if user #2 could utilize PowerMail with all the same settings as fore user #1. In other words, can I get to launch user's #1 PowerMail when logged as user #2? Thank you Giovanni

Hello, it's my first time in this list. I really need help with PowerMail. PowerMail is launched automatically when my mac starts; I've got different accounts it controls. Every time it retrieves mail on startup, I get this message: Login error for "name1" on "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", where: name1 is the name before the @ in the email address name2 is the name after the @ in the email address name3 is the incoming mail server The message ends with two buttons: the "OK" default blue button and a "Snooze" button Can anybody possibly tell me something more about what's happening? And what happens when I select Snooze? Thank you Giovanni Andreani
