Hi, all - In PowerMail 6.0.3, when I try to clear Remembered Recipients, I get a spinning beachball that doesn't seem to want to go away. The first time this happened to me (on September 15), I waited several minutes, then force quit PowerMail. Upon restart, I got a database error which was resolved by doing some of the repair routines when starting up.
Today, I noticed that the Remembered Recipients had not, in fact, been cleared when this happened. I tried again to clear them, and again got the spinning beachball. Not wanting to get a repeat of the previous error, I tried a different approach. Turns out, while the beachball was spinning, PowerMail was still responsive (to some extent). I turned off the option to remember recipients and did a Command-S while in the preferences dialog and closed it. I was not able to Quit PowerMail, so was again down the path of Force Quit. On startup, this time I got no errors. Not really sure I need PM to remember recipients anyway, but there appears to be a bug I thought I should report. Looking at the various .old databases in my user's folder, it appears that the Setup Database may have been the one affected, as it decreased in size by about 32K between September 15 and this morning. Assuming, of course, that the remembered recipients data was purged after I unchecked the preference and restarted PowerMail. All this because I had a typo in my wife's email address one day that I kept repeating, resulting in the occasional 'Did you get my email?' 'No' ... conversation.
