Re: Problem with message database

I've managed to open it after low level database rebuilt. Fortunately, 
PM3.1.2 had that option, too.

Good! 

(Need I question the last time you backed up your mail database? Speaking
from personal experience of data loss... ;)

Chris,

Thanks so much!

PM3.1.2 had that option, too.

Once again, I'm happy that I use Power Mail. :-)

Best regards,
Sead

 Oops: I actually can't remember if PowerMail at version 3.1.2 _has_ the
 fourth checkbox. It may have been added later. The fourth would read 
 low
 level database rebuild or some such. That's probably the one you need.
 Any other version 3 users care to comment?

Re: Problem with message database

[C. A. Niemiec]

When trying to open Power Mail I get message:

Database error 100 () in 9(DBGetRecord)
Low level error 160

This prevents from opening my mail message database and this is a VERY 
serious problem I MUST solve since I have a rather large message 
archive and I need to restore access to it.

Hold down option and command keys when launching PowerMail. This will
give you some first aid options (first four checkboxes). I'd work on a
copy (just to be sure). Also drop a line to the PowerMail team if that
doesn't solve it (even though they read this list). And repost here if
the above doesn't work. I don't have any further insight, but perhaps
someone else can provide more complete instructions.

Problem with message database

[Sead Lejlic]

Dear Sirs,

After two years of use, I've encountered problem with Power Mail and it 
seems to be a rather serious one.

When trying to open Power Mail I get message:

Database error 100 () in 9(DBGetRecord)
Low level error 160

This prevents from opening my mail message database and this is a VERY 
serious problem I MUST solve since I have a rather large message 
archive and I need to restore access to it.

I would appreciate assistance in this rather urgent and important 
matter.

I use OSX 10.2.4 and Power Mail 3.1.2

Best regards,
Sead Lejlic

Re: Database Export

[Chris Walker]

Dear Christian:

this is because only the PM Exchange format supports exporting the DB in
one single file. 

Thanks!  I thought it might be something like that.

Re: Database Export

[Christian Roth]

Dear Chris,

For the first time I want to export my entire mail database File-
Database- export and notice that the only export format available is
PowerMail Exchange.  All the other buttons are greyed out.

this is because only the PM Exchange format supports exporting the DB in
one single file. You probably need to export your messages folder-by-
folder; select them all and choose the Export all selected folders/
messages option, then you will have more choices.

Database Export

[Chris Walker]

Hi all,

For the first time I want to export my entire mail database File-
Database- export and notice that the only export format available is
PowerMail Exchange.  All the other buttons are greyed out.

Is this normal?  Since it's the first time I've wanted to do it I don't
know if it is, or if I have a problem.

Cheers,

Chris
