Memory error problem
I suddenly started having a weird problem with one of my PM databases. Yesterday evening I asked PM (5.2.3, OS 10.3.9)) to connect and download messages from my primary email address, as per usual. The first thing that happened was a window appeared during the download saying there was a problem on that pop server. It continued to download the messages but there was nothing in the body of the messages, i.e. they were blank. I then connected again, and the same messages were still up there and were again downloaded, again blank. I have an alternate email address on another server, and there was no problem with getting messages from that server. Thinking that there was a problem with this one server, I went on the web to read the messages and found that the same messages were indeed still up there, and were not blank. So from the web, I forwarded them to the alternate email address, then went back to Powermail and tried to download them from the alternate address's server. This time I got the same error message about a problem with _that_ server -- and this time some of the messages were blank and others were not. Thinking that this meant that there was one corrupted message that was causing all these problems, I deleted all the messages in PM and also deleted them from the server. Then quit out of Powermail and deleted the Powermail preference files. Then re-launched it. I prepared a test message from one email address to the other. But as soon as I hit command minus, I got a message saying that my database was corrupted. I quit out of Powermail and tried all the database fixes, including low level database rebuild. But now, there is a new problem that wasn't there before -- as soon as I launch PM I get a message saying A memory error occurred. When I click on more info I see class=std, what=1, when=100. But the problem with receiving and sending messages seems to have gone away. Does anyone have ANY idea what is going on? (Sorry for the lengthy description.)

You really need to find the message(s) that is causing you problems. I did that once for all. You need to do it, too. Anyway, HOLIDAY GREETINGS!

Re: Persistent memory error, won't go away
Check to see if you have any unsent mail. Starting PM while not connected to the internet with unsent mail has produced this error for me. Also... did you repair permissions, run cron scripts, prebind, etc? Also... what version of OS? Journaling on? Sometimes a fragmented database can cause problems and Panther defrags when journaling is on. - Bob Moody [EMAIL PROTECTED] 936 Frog Pond Road Staunton VA 24401 800-326-9192 www.bobmoody.org The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say, or do: First: Is it the TRUTH?

Replying to message quoted below the signature line which is below this message: = *REPLYING TO MESSAGE QUOTED BELOW** Tue, 21 Dec 2004 00:30:03 -0500 Hi, I'm getting this error every time PM loads: class = std ; what = -1 ; where = -100 I can't tell what effect it is having, but I am still getting corruption problems. I used the First Aid options (checked all of them) and about 18 hours later it had completed and reindexed everything. Then it gave me the same memory error as it finished doing the sort/optimization of the Search Index. So obviously whatever was wrong before all the First Aid repairs is still wrong now. Any suggestions? Steve

Follow up to below... I also get this same error everytime I hit Search in the Find dialog. The memory error dialog comes up, I dismiss it, and PM displays my search results without any apparent problems.

Memory error
Hi everybody-- I seem to almost have rescued my PM files... but now everytime I start PM, i get long pizza spin, and then A memory error occurred Class = std; what = 1; when = 100 This also occurs when trying to download a lot of mail from the server, it hangs right before it's almost done and then gives the same error. Any help with this? Thanks again! mano
