I've finally completed the process of changing over my email program from Entourage X to PowerMail 5.2.3 (on a G4 using Tiger 10.4.6), like PM so much better than Entourage, and have some newbie questions I've been unable to find answers to so far in reading the documentation (though I may be overlooking it somehow) and experimenting.
First, how can I make PM my default email program (i.e., when I hit an email address while using Firefox, it still calls up Entourage)? Second, I have tens of thousands of old Entourage messages stored on my hard drive in mbox format. I'd love to import these folders into PM so that they'll be instantly searchable on PM and also on Foxtrot. However, I'm concerned that having those extra messages might slow down PM or make it unstable (although I've started routinely compacting the PM database daily). Does anyone know if adding huge amounts of messages will make PM unstable in any way (in which case, it would not be worth it for me) or would significantly slow it? Do I risk reaching some limit? Finally, is there any way that I can set PM so that whenever I start the program, the mail browser automatically appears? Thanks for your help with this. Ken
