Hi all, I'm running the latest versions of PowerMail and OSX on a 1.67GHz G4 PowerBook with 1gb memory. I get over 300 emails per day, including a lot that are filtered directly to trash or a spam folder. I find that after a few days of steady use, PowerMail gets sluggish. I mostly see this when clicking from one email to the next in 3-pane view...there is a distinct (1 second?) pause when switching from one email to the next. Closing and opening PowerMail fixes the problem for a few days.
Rather than complain too much <g> I thought I'd use the OSX Automator to quit out of PowerMail and re-open it sometime in the middle of the night. I see how to launch an application with Automator, and I know how to schedule my Automator Workflow with iCal, but I don't see how to Quit out of PowerMail. Can I use an Applescript to do this? Any other ideas? BTW, I have turned off Spotlight for PowerMail, since that seemed to be slowing things down even more. Perhaps once I get this working I'll give it another try.
