I encountered the same problem when trying to create the new search index. PM probably 'hangs' on one or two corrupted HTML-messages. (At least it was in my case). I reported this problem and my workaround on this list on July 7. For this workaround you need to access (a copy of) your database with the previous pm version. this is what I wrote: / snip------- From: "Karel Gillissen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Powermail Testing" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Hang on indexing (reproducable) Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2003 17:37:05 +0200 Same problem here. In my case it appeared to be two corrupted HTML-messages which I received on 15-01-2001. (I could read them at that time with pm3 but they somehow got ... well I don't know, I never opened them since) Here is how I pinpointed them (a bit tedious, but it works): Try to export your mail database (I used eudora mailbox format, but tabulated text will do also) Most probably the export-proces hangs at the same messages which concern the index-problem. Force quit pm and examine the exportfile to see where it has stuck. If your mail database is in one large folder it might help to export the database in handy proportions by selecting parts and doing an export on the selected messages only. If all's well you know now which messages to delete. In my case I deleted them by crtl-click on them and select 'Move to mail trash' as pm hanged itself when trying to read the messages (or select them in 3-pane view). (for Jérôme: these are the same messages I reported to you in my Meiringen report, Indexing gave the message 'An error occurred not enough memory' which kept on coming after clicking it away; I had to do a force- quit to bail out) /snip ------
