I know this is all at my own risk, and maybe not even possible the way I have attempted to do it and in the mean time while traveling I'll have to just mail.app (aarrrgghh!) but at least it will work and I can send and receive.
Actions I took: While still connected to our LAN in the office to attempt to copy all needed files from my desktop to my laptop to run PM "as-if" I were sitting at my desktop, but on my laptop instead, all filters, accounts, settings, configs, the works. I copied ALL the folders and ALL the files and also my PMKey which I could find from my desktop to the exact same location on my laptop, using Finder after having run a search to locate any files containing the word "powermail", etc. Then downloaded the most recent version of PM, 4.1.3 from PM's web site and dragged the OSX PM icon to my apps folder. This is the same version I am running on my desktop, but I'm not at my desktop, I am traveling and I'm using my PowerBook G4. Problems: When I launch PM, it launches fine, starts to check all the accounts I have set up, may or may not successfully download the first message, then quits "unexpectedly". If I relaunch PM again, the same thing keeps happening. I know, I know, I probably just should have set up PM from scratch on my laptop, but then would have had to take the time to enter all the hundreds of filters, accounts, etc. which I normally use. Any ideas on how I could possibly launch PM on my laptop in some type of a diagnostic or auto-correct any database corruption, etc. ? John Hay In Manhattan for the DV and MacWorld shows.
