I noticed that it doesn't always work on all. I found it best to delete, expunge, and quit, then come back and most are gone.

Re: Of iCloud and Lotto...
I am back to using PowerMail for my mac.com email under Lion. I can have Apple Mail off pretty much most of the time but have to check an Exchange server on one account occasionally.

Re: Of iCloud and Lotto...
Well it seems that quiting PowerMail got them gone. I think my PowerMail implementation for mac.com is clear. I find that I need to physically move messages to folders where I want to store them, not use the filters. But the filters on sent messages work! I can live with that.

Re: Powemail settings for Me.com
I strongly would second a submission to CTMdev on how to better integrate mac/me mail with PowerMail. I have use PowerMail to read my gmail and earthlink email; I had been using Mail to read one account that was on an Outlook server. Now I am using it for mac.com email as well, and it leaves a lot to be desired. On the OSXlist, I see confusion about implementing Spam Sieve with Mail, looking for a way like PowerMail to mark spam. I find that Mail gives me a signal that there is mail (red dot in the upper right corner of the Mail icon) but that can apply to spam that Mail has not downloaded. The only way to clear that to try to keep the signal meaningful is to go to the Cloud via the web browser and delete the spam that hasn't been sent. GRRH. I used to check online about every 2 weeks for spam to be sure that nothing was caught that should not be. But now that incoming mail notification alert is meaningless!. CTMdev, please hear our cry.

Re: MailSword spam
I have not had any email from the list since mid July. I sent this question to the list back then. In the meantime, I had contacted CTM directly because once before the list bounced me off because .mac was bouncing the list mail. (It seems to be a common problem if you use .mac accounts with lists. It has been reported on other lists as well.) I had no response to either the list mail or email to ctm, so when I saw these two messages, I assumed that I had to answer to get to CTM. I am sorry for bugging the list with these two responses. The real culprit seems to be .mac and whatever they are doing with lists.

Setup Database
I was having trouble with PowerMail sending but have cleared that up by purging the outgoing que and rebuilding. However, I now notice that I have 3 Setup Databases. They all have the same creation dates and modification dates, but different sizes. Any clue as to how I got them and what is the best way to handle them? Midi
Multiple accounts
Something very strange has happened in PowerMail 5.0.1 this weekend. My .Mac account is the primary one I use, but I have 3 others (including the one provided by my ISP). Until this weekend, I would compose email in the other 3 account (although rarely the one from the ISP) and click send and off it went. Now, only the .mac mail is sent with the send. To send any other email, I need to quit PowerMail, getting the "do you really want to quit you are connected" message and restart; then the email was sent at first, but now, only the email from my ISP will be sent and 2 other accounts sits waiting. Several others have been using my computer the last few days and I wondered if there was some keys they hit that created some preference, although I have searched everywhere and cannot find anything. I can still send from .Mac without a problem. Midi
Re: Filter not working ?
Check for two things: 1. The order in which the filters are applied. 2. "Stop applying filters to this message" which is near the bottom of the dialogue box when you view the filter. I think you could accomplish this (depending on all your other filters) by doing the list filter first without the "stop applying filters" then filter your undesirables.

Re: PM5 Upgrade thoughts

This happened once before and again today. I got the message smtp mac.com Class='NetP', what=100, err = 0 5.0.0 "You have exceeded 200 messages today. Try again after midnight PST." Before I asked mac.com if this was their limit and they said no. Now I wonder if it is something that PowerMail did? Why? I need to send about 400 messages for my volunteer work today (I was gone for several days) and it bugs me to have to use the brower to access mac.com.

AOL Email
This always comes up on email help lists, but it seems maybe there is relief. * After nearly 20 years of maintaining a proprietary e-mail system, America Online has finally opened up its e-mail format so that you can download your messages using standard e-mail programs like Outlook, Outlook Express, and Mac OS X Mail. (Technically speaking, what AOL now offers are so- called IMAP servers.)

Understanding the Spam Filter in PM5
I am trying to understand the Spam filter in PM5. In PM4, I filtered all the Earthlink email to a folder, which worked as my Spam folder, except that a few people did occasionally use my Earthlink address. Probably 90% of my email was filtered to a folder (like for email from my kids, related to my work, or from lists). These filters came before my Earthlink filter. As I understand it, I want to apply the Spam filters before my Earthlink filter as well so that most spam email will arrive in the Spam folder. First, if anyone is in my address book, they are exempt from the filter; if they are in my previous recipients they are exempt from the filter; and if they address me by name they are exempt from the filter. That looks good to me. Since most of the Earthlink email will not pass these criteria, shouldn't that send it to the spam folder instead of the Earthlink folder? I am interested in the Spam filtering because I am now starting to get Spam on my .mac account (after all these years with none). I would like to get it out of the in tray. Midi

Re: Why We Need Plain Ol' Email Standards (was Re: Need help finding features/functions)
Michael, Thank you for writing this. I cannot agree with you more. This was very well written. When I read this, I remembered a website that was dependent on flash meant to deliver education in a developing country where many students would be accessing with older computers for limited times. Better that they could download information they need than watch fancy pictures that were very slow to load for them. However, this applies widely even in the developed world. I work as a volunteer in a sports organization to support the participation of my children. One of the issues that comes up constantly is that parents want simple information access, not fancy pictures when they try to get information about the competitions. I know that my own kids are pictured out (and were a long time before the internet was so ubiquitous) and now want hard copy versions of the Economist, for example, instead of working through what it takes to read the articles online.

I needed to quit PowerMail, restart with the option-Apple key and purge the outgoing mail queue. Then find the drafts and send one, by one. Since I came home and went back to my broadband connection, the problem did not occur. Tonight it is back with a vengeance. One of my accounts has a mail server that is down, but everything else is impacted as well. The one email waiting to go from the impacted account stops any another email from going unless I quit PowerMail and purge the queue on restart. Once that email is sent, I cannot send another without quitting PowerMail and restarting with the option-Apple key and selecting purge outgoing mail.

I would be interested in purchasing such as a shareware. An ounce of protection is worth a pound of cure.

Schedules
I would like to know a little more about haw exactly a schedule works. I have set my schedule for every 2 hours. I have noticed that with certain volunteer work that I do that I get a lot of responses when the people get to work in the morning. So I get a lot of back and forth with these people if I respond to their email and check for email in a few minutes. We accomplish a lot in a short time that way. But does that affect the schedule operation? Also does quiting and restarting affect the schedule operations? Midi PS If you haven't guessed, I really liked the time of day schedule in Claris Emailer as opposed to the every such interval schedule in PowerMail.

I am not the best person to answer for such a big database as I keep mine below 20 mb. But 20 mb takes about 5 minutes to do the low level rebuild on my 350 mhz powerbook.

Mail seems to have repetions of content
I am quoting the whole email because that is the only way to see the issue. Notice that the content of the email is repeated and that the repetition is merged with the signature line. I use PowerMail, not Mail, and have noticed this with email coming from a regular correspondent who uses Mail - all the time. (I have another regular correspondent using Mail whose email never has this problem.) It is really annoying when the email is long; when it is short like this one, it isn't so bad as you see what is happening right a way. As both my correspondent and Thomas could be assumed to be somewhat savy computer users, I am wondering if it is: a. an interaction of PowerMail and Mail b. an interaction of Mail with the outgoing or incoming server c. something in Mail.

Re: Comment from new PM user
If you want notification of when email arrives and set a schedule, you can hear the chime (preferences - notifications) in OS 9, even with PowerMail hidden while you are working in other applications if you set the volume loud enough. While I can understand your hold out, I will tell you that my oldest son (an Engineering PhD student) told me 2 weeks ago that I could have saved myself a lot of grief if I had been all OS X. After using macs for my livelihoold for 18 years with NO problems that could not be easily recovered, I had a crash in the middle of some work that was not recoverable. I was not at home, had Tech Tools and Disk Warrior cds with me, but could not recover. When I finally got things sorted out, Excel had crashed and the time stamps on the Excel file, application and systems folder were all the same. I had to reinstall from scratch OS 9 (fortunately I saved a lot to my OS X partition) and am still reinstalling software. Software that ran fine before the crash required upgrades, reinstallation, etc. It cost me 4 days and a 3 week delay in payment for some work. (I know 4 days in 18 years isn't bad, but it wasn't pleasant.) As soon as I finish this project, I will shift to OS X. Almost all the software I use is OS X now.
