Hi All, A day or so ago while my PowerMail was collecting mail it told me - "Error. Cannot write to Database". Oops. I knew I was near the 2Gig limit. Powermail went into a loop so all I could do was force quit. I re-launched Powermail and compacted the database and all seem well until I noticed I had no past e-mail at all. The folder structure was right, but no e-mail was visible that was aged before that days date. The database was nearly 900mb so it seems as if the mail should be there.
So I did a low level rebuild. This failed with an error 493. Tried it again. Same error. Then PowerMail just started crashing on launch. Eek!. Next steps were a restart, permissions rebuild, and a DiskWarrior rebuild. Still had a crash on starting up PowerMail. So I deleted all the PowerMail prefs, hid the over PowerFiles and set up a new user environment. Then I bought Power Salvage and ran it over night. It successfully recovered 250,000 e-mails which are currently being imported (7 hours to go it says). Oh, I'm 3,500 miles and 12 days away from my latest backup BTW. So the question, assuming I can finish importing these mails, is: Can I retain my filters and account setting from the previous user environment? Any way to do that? Cheers Derry
