Hi Folks,
I'm a very long time user of PowerMail classic, and just recently upgraded to version 5.2. The conversion process was almost painless, even though I have over 10,000 emails in the database. My problem is that of hard failures (spinning beach ball) after fetching mail from an IMAP account. This is on a dual G4/450, running Panther 10.3.5 Next to the Panther mac, is my original G3/266 which has been running PowerMail version 3.2 for 3 years, and others long before that. Version 5.2 fails more than 50% of the time fetching IMAP traffic from the same server that version 3.2 has absolutely no trouble with. In side-by-side tests, when version 5.2 fails, I force quit, call up classic version 3.2, and it has no trouble fetching the mail. Leave the mail on the server, quit classic, call up 5.2 again, and crash... Sometimes I can sign on to the IMAP server via a browser, delete some spam, read some messages, and then try again with PM and it works ok for a while....then again some new message (I guess) causes it to get hung up. This is so demonstrable, that I can't believe that no one else has seen it. Is there something that I can do ? michael
