Douglas, first of all, don't kill yourself, much worse things can happen to man and even that is no reasonable reason to commit suicide ;-)
second, try to locate your powermail folder on your disk. There are probably more than one. Now look on the modification date of the files, especially the Message Database. The one with the last modification date will be the one. It might be called Message Database.old, that's the one you're looking for. All the best and good luck Matthias ----------------------------------------------- Admilon Consulting GmbH http://www.admilon.com iChat/AIM: MatKoyasan Tel. +81-736-56-3905 ----------------------------------------------- Am/On Fri, 7 Apr 2006 03:28:54 +0100 schrieb/wrote Douglas Carnall: >Hi, > >I'm using Powermail 4.2.1 on OS X 10.3.9 > >I was performing a long overdue backup, selected "Compact database". > >Powermail crashed at the end of this lengthy process (15mins) > >Now when I launch Powermail it seems to have reverted to an early version >(2004?) of the database, all my folders, filters, and messages are missing. > >This is a major disaster. > >Please help > >D. >-- >dougie carnall >+44 (0)207 241 1255 >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >
