Yesterday evening, I made a mistake when trying to delete some messages:
I selected my 'Suspect' folder, then clicked in the folder list window,
and then hit Command-A. Something I had done dozens of times before.
Only problem was, this time when I clicked in the folder list window, I
clicked in the status column. When I hit Command-A, the message whose
status was displayed in the popup menu disappeared, and my computer froze
(I'm using Mac OS 8.6). I had to force restart. In subsequent attempts
to display the folder, the message list starts to display, but when the
'bad' message would have appeared, my computer freezes again.
I have tried all of the Command-Option startup choices, and all of the
choices in the File/Database menu selections, to no avail. To keep using
PowerMail (without locking up my computer by accidentally choosing the
'bad' folder), I have exported both my addresses and mail database
(excepting the 'bad' folder) and imported them into a new user environment.
I suppose that I could just go on from here, but I have lost my mail
filters, text clippings, and mail schedulings. I would rather not have
to reconstruct my filters, if possible. My questions:
1) Any suggestions for 'fixing' my original user environment? I don't
need any of the messages in the 'bad' folder.
2) Failing #1, is there any way to move filter settings between user
environments?
I did put a message in to PowerMail support, but it hasn't even been 24
hours yet, and thought I would put it to the list.
Thanks in advance,
