I had something similar happen. What happened was that if I tried to open a new message then PM would crash. Soon I would get the 4 language kernal panic midway through startup.
I call to AppleCare and an Archive/Install of Panther fixed the problem, but it was a scary time for a bit. You should start PM with the Cmd-Option keys down and select the first 4 items. Startup from your Install Disc 1 and run Disk Utility to Repair Disk and Repair Permissions, Backup. If the problem persists here's the sequence from AppleCare. Restart with Cmd-Option-O-F (Open Firmware), type "reset-all" without quotes. Restart with Cmd-Option-P-R (Zap PRAM), hold down for 4 chimes. Archive/Install Clean Install (I didn't have to go here.) Good luck. -- Andy Fragen TiBook 400/384 RAM - OS X 10.3.1 - PowerMail v4.2.1 PowerMail AppleScript Archives: http://homepage.mac.com/wayneb/powermail.html On Fri, Dec 5, 2003, Cotty said: > >Hi listers, > >I have a problem with Powermail crashing that I wonder if anyone can help >with. > >Harware: > >iMac DV 450 with 512MB RAM > >Software: > >OS X.2.6 and Powermail 4.2.1 > >If a new message is called up (using Command + N etc) and the subject >line filled in, then in the 'Recipients' field, under 'Name' a few >letters are typed to bring up the closest names in the Address Book - >when a suitable name is clicked on to allow the recipient to auto- >complete, the application crashes with an error message saying : The >application Powermail has unexpectedly quit'. > >I have tried starting Powermail with Command and Option keys depressed to >bring up Powermail First Aid and run the four repairs.
