First, I would update to the latest, 5.5.3.

Cannot open PowerMail after backing up....

[jbeiss]

PM 5.2.2 has worked perfectly day after day for years! Today I decided to back  
up so I compacted data base and copied PM files folder to a 2nd  
interior hard drive. While I was at it I decided to trash what seemed  
to be an old PM files folder from December, 2005. I ended up  
rearranging and moving around various other copies of PM files.

When I decided to open PM again to get mail, lo and behold,  
'unexpected quit.' Repeatedly. At this point I cannot open PM. I have  
gone back and made sure that both drives have the PM key as well as  
Sept 17, 2007 PM files folder, but I have not been able to undo  
whatever damage I've done.

One more thing: I finally decided to restart and indeed PM did open  
long enough for me to notice that the email in my Recent folder was  
dated 5/4/07 (or thereabouts) and I appear to have lost the most  
recent mail. I can live with that if only I can get PM working again.

Any suggestions as to my next step?

OS X 10.4.10, PowerMac G4, PM 5.2.2. I've used PM, licensed, for  
about 8-10 years.
