Re: PowerMail in OS X Lion?
I tried Lion, but after several weeks of trying I came to the conclusion that apparently both my 2.33 GHz nor my 2.53 GHz Core2Duo MBP are too slow to handle its glory. And I must admit I did not care for the iOS-ness. So I reverted to Snow Leopard and it felt like I bought myself a new Mac. PowerMail did work, even after the transition to iCloud, but using the settings of .Mac, i.e. mail.mac.com and smtp.mac.com I am not entirely sure if that is possible for all, or perhaps just the very early members of .Mac. Hope this helps!

I'm currently using PowerMail v6.1 in Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and loving it with my Apple MobileMe POP account. With upcoming demise of MobileMe at the end of June, in order to retain my @mac.com email address, which I've had for over ten years, I'll be forced to upgrade to iCloud. iCloud will not be supporting POP mail, as I understand, however, I do see an option in PowerMail for IMAP4 accounts. My question is, if I remain using PowerMail, remain using Snow Leopard, don't upgrade to Lion, and upgrade to the iCloud system will PowerMail continue to function? I'm sure I'll have to set up a PowerMail IMAP account, but am leery as I don't want to affect my [soon to expire in June] MobileMe sync features or worse loose access to my current MM POP account?

In Disk Utility, what information does it give about the format of your HD? The whole behavior you describe sounds very, very wrong. Is it specific to PowerMail? Or does another application give the same issues? And I suggest to use Onyx for the repairs, a little more sophisticated in this case as it runs in OS X, rather than the underlying Unix core in which AppleJack operates.

Re: Login Error Message
Most likely PM is started before your network connection is fully initialized. When PM tries to connect, it cannot because of that reason. I found that PM as a startup item is not working for me. I did have a Quickeys script to start PM 1 minute after startup/login and that did work. Now I just click the icon manually, much more direct for me.

Yes, PM4 is the last version, and it is not database compatible with PM 5. PM4 is a very capable solution for OS 9.

The battle to be the 'standard' Zip will presumably force Aladdin to pick one format or the other for integration into Stuffit.

Michael, I feel and symphatize with your frustration. I do not have a solution, but I would like to add that the advise given by Marlyse and Christian (amongst others) is sound, and it describes steps that helped me out out problems. With respect to your remark that rebuilding the database looses messages by the thousands: I have never seen that. To that I would add, that I adopted the habit of storing old messages in iData Pro databases, because I found I hardly ever need those, and they do obscure the PM Find results a bit. The only thing that could help is: -rename your ~/Libary/Preferences folder Log out Log in Try from there. I found that corrupted preference files from totally unrelated applications, that not even have to be open, sometimes create totally unexpected problems. Copy the necessary preferences back step by step to minimize loss of your settings. That helped me in several occasions, and at the very least it will speed up your system a bit. I hope you nail the problem! Mirko schmidt systementwicklung sa: I never experienced any mayor problems with the database. Neither in v3 nor in v4.

As it was necessary to do several low level rebuilds, I don't think this is a database issue. Excuse me? Then what would it be? It is a database issue, alright. The questions is: How do I fix this and prevent it from reocurring? I guess you have a hardware problem and that one you won't solve by changing the mail client. I already have Emailer and 500 MB DB.

Look for this section in the script: -- tell application PowerMail set OriginalSigs to text signatures repeat with i from 1 to (count of OriginalSigs) set tempName to name of (item i of OriginalSigs) if tempName does not contain XX then set changeName to true else set changeName to false end if XX should be the name or names of the signature(s) that you DON'T want changed.

iTunes script
I am not wildly familiar with AppleScript (not at all, really), and completely relying on the wizardry of others. And Wayne's site shows that there is plenty of that, excellent extensions of PowerMail. For private e-mails I would like to run the iTunes_cd signature, but I am not sure how to run it. My attempts so far have led to wiping of all signatures. Would anyone please reply with a simple manual for the script? Much obliged! Mirko -- Mirko Kranenburg e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re(2): AppleScript Archives
I can only comment that it works fine for me, in OS X 10.2.4, so the problem must be specific to your situation, I'm afraid.

I have run into a problem with Andy's otherwise excellent Burst Digest script(s), however. When I run this script on PM 4.1.2 running on Mac OS 10.2.4, the script prompts me for the settings to use each time I select the script, despite saying you will only have to do this once. Is this just me, or is it just a misleading notice? I have also found that if you try to run the script on more than one digest at a time, it burst the same digest over and over again. Mark Smith.

Re(2): SpamSieve to set junk as Read
That does it! It turns out that I had a duplicate in my folders, and
these mods didn't work at first, but now all is fine.
Thanks!!

I am a happy user of SpamSieve, to keep the inboxes wholesome and healthy.
The AppleScripts provided move the junk to a Spam folder.
My question now is: does anyone know how to modify the supplied SpamSieve
- Move Spam in such a way that it sets the status of the junk messages to
Read in one go?
Now I still see those messages when I set them to Read manually.
Thanks,

Re(2): powermail-discuss Digest #1422 - 02/27/03
I am able to simply select text in the message window, and copy that. You mean you cannot touch the message?

Switching Netscape
Hi all, Netscape is becoming a decent browser again, and for some sites it is the best I can use. Unfortunately it insists on using its own mail-client, which I obviously do not want to use. How can one switch Netscape 7.02, both in OS X and in OS 9? I am sure it must have been discussed on this list, but I do not know where to look for archives.

Re: Keyboard command for HTML mail ??
If you use the 3-pane view, you only have to click the globe, and that's it! Whenever I receive a non-spam message that i know is in HTML, I have to 1) double click and open the message, 2) scroll to the bottom, 3) click on the globe, 4) select view message in browser). Is there a keyboard shortcut for this somewhat tedious multistep process? Thanks Rick -- Mirko Kranenburg e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
