and Invalid message number is what I get when I try to access my IMAP icloud account. I had deleted some of my icloud/me/mac.com messages yesterday both on the webside and by using Mail.

Magic - wasThe end???? was: I did it again -- what a dummy!
I had one more idea I thought would at least get me back a little of what I was missing. There are a few apps I really like that won't run on any version of OS X beyond Snow Leopard. Consequently, I had created a Snow Leopard partition on my iMac before I went to Lion. I haven't used it in many months (a year or more?), and for some reason my iMac doesn't even want to start from it -- even though my Mac came with it or an earlier OS X (a firmware update?) Anyway, a copy my PowerMail folder from back then was in the partition. I dragged over the Message Database, Address Database, Server-side Database, and Setup Database from that partition. Now PowerMail seems to contain everything I thought I was missing. Even messages I sent the day before I discovered the problem are in my Sent folder. I don't think I have lost a single sent or received message. THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME! Sure am grateful, however! Tom Miller OS 10.10.4 PM 6.2.1 On 7/23/15, at 4:33 PM, Thomas L. Miller t...@tlmiller.net said: Well, copying over the 4 .old files the the other drives after removing the .old didn't help. I think that when I restarted my iMac after cloning and saw the problem, I had PM First Aid also compact the database. I restarted from a clone, saw the same problem and may have compacted that too when running PM First Aid. Therefore, the 4 sets of .old files are copies of bad versions. There are folders missing in Mail Browser and my mac.com still showing as POP3, and I think that change was done before 2013. I think there is something else that is causing that problem. So, it looks like if I want to continue to use PM, I have to set up missing accounts and use a database missing all the messages from 2014 and most from 2013 and 2015. It is truly odd that this problem started after cloning to an external hard drive. Something I had done 100s of times! Sure wish I could go back to last Saturday in a time machine.

I tried a shortcut of what you recommended at the bottom (I have two other copies of the entire PM folder on the other drives). I put an X in front of the file names of the 4 (current) items and removed .old from the other 4. That didn't help, but I think that could be because I compacted the database when I ran PM First Aid a day or two ago. I may have done the same thing with one of the other drives. However. I guess I can copy over from the .old files from the 3rd drive and try that. Ought to work, right?? The really odd thing is that PM was working perfectly when I quit it before cloning. I have cloned (SuperDuper) my hard drive 100s of times over the years with no problems. The clone is a copy of everything -- web browser history, apps, Preferences, Libraries, music, photos, everything. Never has a restart of my Mac resulted in a change of PM's Message Databases. These external hard drives are only active when I'm making clones -- otherwise they are turned off/disconnected.

I restarted from the internal drive, and after PM started, I saw that except for some very recent messages, I was missing all the messages sent after mid-September 2013. Obviously, PowerMail is now using an older version of your database, and has only retrieved very recent messages still present on the server. First possibility: instead of copying your database to the backup drive, you copied in the wrong way, replacing your main database with the backup. However if your backup was 1 week old, then you should not have lost all messages since September 2013. Second possibility: PowerMail has switched to another database, which was a backup you made in September 2013. If your two external drives were still mounted when you started PM, then maybe the 2013 backup was on one of these drives; if not, then the 2013 backup was on your internal drive. How PowerMail can switch to another database? Multiple possibilities: - you switched manually from the file / database / switch user environment menu, then selected your 2013 backup - you switched manually by double-clicking in the Finder the Message Database file from your 2013 backup - you used Spotlight, which found a message in this backup, and opened the message - if your main drive is entirely cloned (which software are you using for this?), and you boot from your backup drive, then maybe at some point there will be a confusion between two drives, and the database has been opened from the cloned drive instead of the main drive. But again, if the clone is more recent than 2013, then you should not have lost recent messages.

On 4/20/15, at 10:55 AM, PowerMail Engineering jer...@ctmdev.com said: Oh, if you opened a message found by Spotlight then yes, this could make FoxTrot switch to the user environment to which this message belongs. So, if Spotlight found a message on your backup drive, and you opened this message, then PowerMail would close its current database and switch to your backup database. I think I tried clicking on older databases, but that didn't help. I believe I only opened the spreadsheet I was looking for and not the message that brought it. Also, the message that brought it would also be in the newest database, right? There have been other times when some of the PM message folders that messages are filtered to or that I have dragged messages to have disappeared -- also just messages in the In Tray. I never figured out what happened, and usually was able to get things back to normal without the loss of too many messages. PM has been running fine now for many months. This time I was looking for a spreadsheet that was e-mailed to me, but I wasn't certain if it was still in PM's Attachment folder or somewhere else on my hard drive. That's why I ran Spotlight. Soon after that some of my PM message folders disappeared, recent messages disappeared and messages from 2013 and earlier showed as unread. 10.10.3 had been running for days, and there was a small update to it that I had recently done. I dragged the PM folder from a clone of my hard drive, but that didn't help any. I did find it VERY odd that when I started up from the HD clone that was 5 or 6 days old, messages from 2 or 3 days ago were already in folders that I would have dragged them to. Yes, I know PM on the clone would download messages it hadn't received yet, but how did they get to those folders??? I only use PM on my iMac, and only occasionally use Mail on my MacBook Air -- PM is what I depend on. I can use other browsers than Safari, but PM is what I rely on for messages -- and other things like checking my Lotto numbers. Wanting to get things right quickly, I SuperDupered the clone back to my iMac. Too much of a hurry, and my 2014 taxes that I already had filed got deleted -- will have to re-create, I guess.

Re: Powermail keeps quitting
On 9/15/12, at 9:40 AM, Peter Lovell plov...@mac.com said: I also have crashes about once a day on average, and I suspect that they're related to use of IMAP for iCloud mail. In almost every case, the crash occurs when moving a mail item it a folder. Most of those moves are from In Tray, of course. Other than having to quit PowerMail after my iMac (10.8.1) has gone to sleep in order to reactivate IMAP, PowerMail (6.1.3) is solid for me. I am pleased with it. When I click Connect to start the IMAP connection, I do get an Incorrect account setting, (odd) but then I click on Set Up, Mail Accounts opens, I simply close it, and all is well.

Re: Can't Send Messages
On 6/10/10, at 4:40 PM, Peter Lovell plov...@mac.com said: Hi Tom, while this will work, people who receive your mail will see it as coming from your Verizon address rather than your .mac (.me) one. I *certainly* do not want that. If you want your mail to remain independent of Verizon then you should use Apple's smtp server smtp.me.com and your .me username and password. Peter, I have kept the PM configuration you recommended, but using the outgoing.verizon.net setting didn't interfere with showing the mac/ me.com address. My only PM problem is that it is now ignoring the Mail Scheduling (every 2 minutes). Never a problem before. I may need to run First Aid again. Apple's Mail does a good job of figuring out te right connection parameters. It obviously excels with Apple's own servers. Port 993 is appropriate for IMAP, which is the default for .mac/.me accounts in Mail. If your account is set up as a POP3/SMTP account then it would use port 995 for POP3 (under the Advanced tab). FInding the port number for outgoing mail is harder, as it doesn't show up in the Account anywhere. To find this, select the account in question and click the popup at the bottom Outgoing Mail Server. When the list pops up, select Edit SMTP Server List ... which is the last entry. Choose the server in the top part of the window and click Advanced tab half-way down. You can then change the settings if needed. For me using POP3/SMTP it's Use default ports, Authentication: password, and the .mac username and password. This was easy to find, wasn't it :) Smtp.me.com is the outgoing server for me in Mail. The Advanced tab shows that it's using the default ports (25, 465, 587). Account Type shows as MobileMe IMAP. Tom Miller .. The only time we see the middle of the road is as we run from side to side.

Re: OS 10.5 compatibility
After playing with PM and other areas that asked for passwords, PM is now working fine. I can't really explain what I did that solved the problems, but the PM problems do seem to be solved. Dreamweaver has lost its registration in Leopard and Applejack didn't seem to work, but major problems seem to be few.

PM Quits Now
Away for a week, come back and PM 5.5.3 on my iMactel running 10.4.9 has quit on me 4 or 5 times in a day -- highly unusual. The only change is that I installed Safari 3.0.

When I did the rebuild again, it finally gave an error message that gave a clue as to what was going on. Thanks again for the help guys. I see common run-of-the-mill messages stay in my Out Tray and fail to get sent. My assumption is that the server isn't accepting the connection when I try to send and PowerMail doesn't automatically try to send again.

Either way of course your list should line up; but having a separate folder for Sent Mail should help the problem of sending mail. That was my Sent folder. I have run into this before. The subjects stay squeezed together no matter what. Will probably just delete the affected message. Jérôme thinks it is some return character in the subject and in the original message. I assume you have tried these things: clicking on another item in the list, closing the browser window and opening it again, closing and restarting PowerMail itself. It looks roughly the same today.
