As a long-time lurker and some-time participant, I'm very grateful for this list. I may be at the verge of finally having to move on from Emailer, but I don't want to--an answer to this would help me.
I've just installed a new 10 GB HD on my Wallstreet PowerBook, running OS 9.2.2, and copied everything over and all seems to be well. However, when I choose to run one of the many AppleScripts I've got (from reading these posts and taking suggestions), they now run very slowly...if at all. The ones I use all the time are "Trash attachments" and "Trash messages and attachments"--and they now run like molasses in Anchorage in January. I've rebuilt the Mail database, but to no avail. I've also changed the creator on the scripts to match others that I have, thinking that might have some effect... now all my AppleScripts show as "Compiled Scripts" with type "osas" and creator "ToyS". Previously those two scripts showed up with generic icons and as documents. Does the fact that I have 48 scripts in my AS folder have any effect? I've rebuilt the desktop and cleared the PRAM on the machine, run Norton and DiskWarrior and TechTool Pro! I'm having to consider moving to Entourage as I often have to use both programs to clear my in-box. I have a Compuserve account (have since 1986 or 1987), and access it via my BellSouth DSL broadband account. Emailer... ...is running slower than Entourage (DL speeds), ...won't let me upload MP3's or other large files via my service when Entourage will, ...regularly creates Mail.txt files that are a pain to have to open when files are long, or don't meet standards >[The following message is an Internet MIME message. It was not decoded >by the CompuServe Internet mail gateway for the following reason(s): > >One or more message parts marked as "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit" >was invalid for 8Bit decoding. > >The complete MIME message is attached as a separate part. You may use >a third party MIME decoder to attempt to process the attachment message.], ...will leave certain kinds of msgs on the Compuserve server and will not pick them up, even though they show in the Connection Status window as being downloaded. I then have to use Entourage to get those--forwards coming via AOL, certain Windoze files (which also come with coded titles rather than file names), ...and I have a Downloads folder that stays at around 800 items (even though I use some scripts to trash attachements on some of my regular mail, and take time every morning to trash others). I know that someone has an answer out there. 1) Why are the scripts running so slow? 2) What can I do to hang on to solve these things and use Emailer a bit longer? Thanks in advance! -- Blessings, Fred ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
