You can try to create a new PowerMail User Environment (from the file / database menu), quit PowerMail, then copy your old Message Database file to this new folder, in the hope that the corrupted file was one of the other ones (address database etc). If that does not work, I don't see anything else you can try. Note that if your POP settings are to leave messages on the server for at least a few days or weeks, you should be able to re-download messages received after your last backup.

Re: Database problems
I was getting the same problem with mine. I have a G4 Power PC that has an upgraded processor. I did this so i could run Leopard. When i got 6.0.6b1 in the mail i made a copy of the program i was getting the errors with and saved a copy of the data base. I then loaded the 6.0.6b1 and tried it on the original daa base and i did not get the errors again. seems what inspired me was that this upgrade was supposed to help with problems like this. just a thought Gerry I got a series of errors, one for each database component that needed rebuilding. In each case, the error codes were the same: Class-DB what=100 err=130 I have a similar issue as Don had, but worse. I woke up to find Powermail locked up. It would not quit and I needed to do a force quit. Upon trying to re-open, Powermail wants to rebuild sort indices and then when it is done it exits with the same error as above. None of the options in PowerMail First Aid help, including low level rebuild with the latest beta. I now have a corrupt message database that Powermail can not open. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried all the usual suspects, verified/repaired the disk itself, PowerMail First Aid by holding down command option on startup, etc, to no avail. I have a 4 day old backup, but would like to recover that mail... I have a copy of Powermail Salvage from a similar situation a couple years ago, but when I launch Powermail Salvage on my Intel Macbook or Mac Mini it just does the spinning beach ball... Does Powermail Salvage even work on Intel Macs? On Powermail 6 message databases? Any options for me to get my mail back? Thanks in advance for any help. -- The faster the computer The more impatient the user

In each case, the error codes were the same: Class-DB what=100 err=130 Low-level rebuild is currently broken. However, its only purpose it to fix some cases where compact database could fail. If you can successfully compact, verify the consistency, rebuild sort and search indices, then your database is safe. If you have troubles exporting the entire mail database in PowerMail Exchange format, you can try exporting one or a few folders at a time using the selected mail folders option. You can also search for messages in a given date range, mail account etc, then select them in the search result window, and export the selected messages.

Re: Database problems
Since the last update I've not been able to do low level rebuilds. I'm on the latest hardware and systems. I do rebuilds on a regular basis, so I suspect since the problem occurred just after the update, that there is a problem with Powermail. I've not noticed any other bad side effect, other options work well. It seems to be that Powermail is on maintenance development from CTM, I keep looking at alternatives...but none do it for me. I expect with all the competition for email clients and Powermail not supporting HTML email very well it's market is limited to the group of us that need the unique features of the program. I can only hope it's economically rational for CTM to continue to invest resources into the product into the future. Much like my Quicken 2006, the ONLY PPC application I still use. I'm happy to pay for a new product...but none can do the fairly simple things I need.

Re: Database problems
Hello alls, I've the same problema: when I try rebuild low level, I got the fatal message: Class-DB what=100 err=130 I've the same felling as Bill: Powermail seems to be on maintenance development from CTM. It seems also to be a PERMANENT maintenance development... Sigh!
