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

Wayne,
Might it not be easier to try saving without closing? Though I'm not
sure that the same windows would be open on a restart of PM.

Hey guys. Try this.
set targetApp to "PowerMail"
tell application "System Events"
set processExists to exists process targetApp
end tell
if processExists is true then
tell application "PowerMail"

You shouldn't have to quit before backing up, but you must make sure
that no automatic operations are being performed during the backup. I
can't recall for certain, but I think
set targetApp to "PowerMail"
tell application "System Events"
set processExists to exists process targetApp

if processExists is true then
tell application "PowerMail"
ignoring application responses
quit

not sure if you'll find it in 10.2.8 - IF it's available it is in FINDER
- FILE - CREATE ARCHIVE. it makes it easy to .zip a file. if you don't
have that option, just use stuffit or zipit or whatever you use to stuff/
zip files.

Fred,
the easiest way is to just burn you PowerMail Folder on a CD.
If it's too big, compact your database before (File->Database...).
You can rename the Folder and then switch to it by changing the User-
Environment (File->Database...). This should do the job.

Am/On: Sat,
I would like to back up my emails. I have about 610 mb of emails.
I have Toast, Retrospect Express, and FMP 5.5
What's the best way to do this?
Is there a way to back up the email and then be able to search using PM?
Fred

used to do it like that but now my DB have been to 700 MB without
attachments and and down again postbackup (Emailer 2) and didn't fit on a
CD, which is my backup solution.
So I got emA for Filemaker years ago and have been backing up to that for
years in an incremental fashion. Unfortunatel

Doing it folder by folder (at least for me with OS9) means the 'linkage'
