Reliability under Mountain Lion

[Daniele Procida]

I am finding that I am getting regular crashes from PowerMail, a program that 
rarely gave me any trouble.

The latest crash report, which occurred when deleting a message, is 
.

I'd hate to give up PowerMail for something else, so I keep using it despite 
the lack of IMAP support that would make it far more convenient for me. But to 
have crashes and to lose work regularly is becoming an increasing problem.

Are these crashes troubling anyone else?

Hi Daniele,

No crashes here, running OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion on a PowerBook with 8GB 
memory & plenty of hard drive space, over 100,000 messages in database.

Hi Daniele,

I have been having them once or twice a week. In my case they seem to be 
triggered by dragging an item from In Tray to one of the folders. Some of the 
messages are displayed in the Mail Browser preview pane briefly when they're 
selected for drag, and other times they are not. I suspect that this may have 
something to do with the crash but can't tell for sure.

I have been forwarding the crash reports as feedback.

There does not seem to have been any data loss - just the frustration of having 
to restart PM.

Cheers.Peter

Neither here on 10.8.2

Did you rebuild/repair the PowerMail items by holding down the "alt" and "cmd" 
key while launching PowerMail?

Could also be helpful to install and run Onyx (2.6.7) to clean your Mac:

At first glance the crash looks like a problem with WebKit.

I have a PM crash maybe once every month or two. I wouldn't call my recent 
problem a crash, just stupidity on my part. I really bogged down my Mac w/ too 
many apps and then had to force quit and restart it.

I plan to continue to use PowerMail as long as I can. I doubt if it's 
economically feasible for CTMDev to do any major upgrades, but I'm still 
pleased with it. I now use a POP e-mail address as much as possible rather that 
Apple's IMAP.

Version 6.1.5b1 should have brought more stability when displaying HTML 
messages, especially when dragging an unread HTML message to the trash or to 
another folder.

If some of you still have recurrent crashes, please let us know!

Kind regards

It has indeed. I have not had any crashes with the new version.

Thanks.Peter
