You can run archive and cleanup in multiple steps, to copy as much messages as possible to a new, clean database: - Select one folder (or a few folders), then search in the selected folders only for messages whose date received is older than 0 day. - then run archive and cleanup for all messages from the search result window, and import the archived message to a new PowerMail User Environment. Do not try to delete the archived messages or compact the corrupted database at this stage. - repeat these steps with a different set of folder until you are done, importing them to the same user environment. - if a specific folder can't be exported successfully, only export its oldest (or most recent) messages, by adjusting the date in the search dialog - instead of archiving folder by folder, you may prefere to search messages only by date, or by account etc… If some messages are archived multiple times, they will only be imported once to the archive.

Can't compact database
I am unable to run the archive and cleanup or compact database commands. The process appears to start normally, but after a short time it stops with the error message A database error occurred Class=DB ;what=100;when=9;err=158 I'm running PM v6.0.2 build 4601. The message database is about 1.5GB I would like to troubleshoot this problem and archive old messages, creating a smaller and up to date database without losing my folder structure and filters. Is this posible? How? Thanks. Joe Hallett -- Joe Hallett - Independent Writer on Technologies and Applications
Re: Can't Compact Database
Thanks! The command-option on startup did the trick. Victor That's a file error. Usually -47 is trying to access a deleted file. Which OS are you using. If on OS X, repair permissions, make sure you have enough space on your hd. You can also hold down cmd and option key and make a full repair. good luck Matthias
