hello again!
Been a while since I used PowerMail... At least a year or so... I am trying to get back up to speed with v.5 and instantly recall the power and speed of the app. Have a question or two some of the more experienced users might be able to help out with... I'm an IMAP user and find that the connection settings are somewhat unique in PM compared to other apps... You set a connection per account, rather than letting one connection schedule handle multiple... at least that is the current limitation based on the radio buttons! I am trying to set up filters, but see I can only use local mailboxes for storage... unless I am missing something. Is that really the case? If it is... can anyone point me in the direction of a procmail lesson so I can set some server side filtering up and just happily browse subscribed folders? Other than recent mail which only seems to support POP accounts - or locally stored mail - is there a way to have an integrated In Tray view? I know I can set up all messages to just dump there, but that's not want I was hoping to have. Thanks in advance!

Subject: CTM / manual / neglect vs. nurture
problem: no updated manual.
solution: CTM pays someone on this list writes an update.
As CTM is selling the product it is finding new users -- look at me,
only been a user for a few months, one would think it in their interest
to have an updated manual.
Isn't it worth a couple hundred bucks to them to pay a free lance writer
very familiar w/ PowerMail {like someone on this list} to update the
manual to document many feature include the hints options? {Not to
mention known bugs limitations}
That would be one *easy* step to improving the PM package. surely a lot
easier than fixing the non-functional search feature. ;-) Or dont they
even bother to make the easy efforts to improve?
If not, should we take such obvious neglect as a signal the end of
development?
I make this suggestion not so much because I care about having a manual I
would like to see the product nurtured rather than neglected.. am
I wrong?

One additional benefit to the method in which attachments are handled is that you can open and modify the files and still maintain associations with the original email.

Re: Attachments Restricted to One Folder
I hear you on this one. The attachments folder is a nice concept, but since I just switched over I have well over 3000 items and renders using it via the finder very difficult. I have already run through and killed many similar and obvious dupes thanks to rounds of revisions on work for clients over the past few years. Multiple folders, filtered by rule would be great though I would still have a great deal of manual labor ahead to file all this stuff. -- Information isn't wisdom. Information isn't learning.

The Finder under OS 9 encountered extreme difficulty managing directories that contained large amounts of files. On some systems a few hundred files would be enough for the Finder to not show all the contents of a folder or otherwise bog down and be unresponsive while in that directory. Also, an alert in an open/save dialog box would appear indicating that the entire contents of the directory would not be displayed when pointed to same. It very well may be true that OS X does not have any of these problems when dealing with very large directories. My very informal testing suggests that you have more problems trying to create a directory with a large number of files than you do with working with them once they are created. (My method was to duplicate my attachments folder and then duplicate its contents a few times until I had over a thousand files. This caused the Finder to go unresponsive twice, requiring it to be relaunched twice.) Under OS 9 it was possible for a program to keep track of files independent of the filename. For instance, Claris Emailer could keep track of which attachments belonged to which email even if you moved or renamed the attachments. I don't know if this method is available under OS X, or if it is, if Apple is discouraging its use. I'm also not sure that this method is any better than PowerMail's current method. It certainly had its drawbacks, as anyone who moved a Emailer account from one computer to another knows. I'm not advocating any changes, but I do wish to bring this to the attention of the user base in case they are concerned over this requirement. If I move my users over to PowerMail, it will take no time at all for them to have attachments numbering in the thousands. And since filed messages are an ever increasing quantity, (for all practical purposes, I don't live in an ideal world) the number of attachments landing in that one directory is open-ended. This makes browsing for an attachment considerably more problematic. (I am considering making a separate volume just for attachments. With this setup, any dragging of attachments from an email to another directory will be by very nature a copy and not a move. This has some ramifications that need to be explained to users.) One possible solution would be for PowerMail to keep the attachments with the email the way it arrived. Other mail programs do this, in fact, most email programs do this. I suspect this is a non-starter with the PowerMail developers. Since the current method is counter to the norm, they probably have strong convictions about doing it any other way. One ramification of keeping the attachments as part of the message is that the single mail database file would grow alarming large in very short order. One way to fix that is to use separate databases for each filed mail folder, which is also the norm. Consequently, having separate databases for each filed mail folder allows for more practical incremental file backups. I know the PowerMail team has put much thought into these issues. While we may or may not agree with their choices, (and are free to use another program if we don't like them) it would be nice to have an understanding why they chose to do things the way they have in light of the fact that the PowerMail way, at least on the surface appears not to, theoretically speaking, scale well with larger and larger amounts of filed mail.

Through some solid trial and (many) error(s) I was able to figure out the
send with PowerMail PDF Service!
on open these_items
tell application PowerMail
set msg to make new message with properties
{attachment:these_items}
open msg
activate
end tell
end open
Sends ANY document you print as Print Job.pdf from within PowerMail. You
need to save it to you machine, user or network /library/PDF Services/
folder as a compiled script.

This bug is happening to me as well. No command A or select all menu option. damn. -- As long as people will accept crap, it will be financially profitable to dispense it. -- Dick Cavett on Sun, 9 Mar 2003 10:19:26 -0800 /Ira Lansing said: Here's a benign but bizarre bug I just discovered which I can reliably reproduce: 1. compose a new message. 2. select all text (presuming there is a signature pre-inserted in the body). 3. press backspace. 4. type some text. 5. choose 'select all' from the 'edit' menu. ...but you can't, because 'select all' is greyed out and unavailable, when it shouldn't be. -ben Interestingly, even with Select All unavailable, command-A worked for me.

PowerMail bits and bytes
So a few days into PowerMail and I am noticing things that work, but perhaps not quite as expecting having used Entourage and Mail... Highlights... can this be an entire line instead of just a subject? Seems to be an awkward implementation. Threads... I love the idea of highlighting by thread in Mail and it is something I always found great when scrolling through a long list of messages... Arrow Keys...Why can we not utilize the arrow keys in the recipients space to easily move to another contact. Having to use the mouse is ok, but the keyboard is much faster - especially when combined with Shift+Tab Drafts... Anyway to set where these get saved? Why in the Out Tray? Why not in a Drafts Tray? I have found no preference for this and find it can be easy to forget about a message or two... Message actions...Keyboard shortcuts... Why is there no way to mark read or unread from the keyboard? Has there been though about a contextual menu or actual menu to transfer messages into folders? That seems like an obvious one - especially when viewing through the Recent Mail view. I'm hooked - really like PM! Just a few nits... Thanks, JG -- We don't need you.

Re(3): Newbie reflections: Requesting scripts and features
I am looking for a script that will auto-attach a printed PDF like the
applescript apple provided for Mail:
on open these_items
tell application Mail
set the new_message to (make new outgoing message with
properties
{visible:true})
tell the new_message
tell content
repeat with i from 1 to the count of these_items
set this_file to item i of these_items
make new attachment with properties
{file name:this_file} at before
the first character
end repeat
end tell
end tell
end tell
end open
I don't know anything about applescript except how to use it once written ;)

What are you looking for, exactly? Apple's PDF services work specifically
with Apple's print services, so whatever you can print, you can pipe
through the PDF services.

Seems a bit odd, but the manual (help file and link) is for version 3, not the current version...
