My Powermail addressbook was a mess, because I had some addresses in PowerMail but not AddressBook, some in AddressBook, and some synching. Remarkably, PowerMail seemed to function in this environment, but I couldn't. The solution I found was to turn off synching, throw out every address in my PowerMail address book, turn on synching so that AddressBook supplied all the addresses, and then fix all the missing addresses.
I have it set up the way many others on this list have it set up-- information flows from AAB to Powermail, no information flows the other way, and addresses open in AAB. Mostly this just works, although there are occassional glitches that make no sense, which are not the subject of this email. Right now I have 733 cards in AAB with emails (smart group "Email is set"), there are 728 contacts in the "Apple Address Book Contacts" of PowerMail, and when I bring PowerMail to the front it says "Sync 746 contacts from Apple Address Book". Any idea why these numbers are different? One clue, I have 18 smart groups in AddressBook, and 728 + 18 = 746, so perhaps the only question is "where are the 5 addresses that are missing from PowerMail, and how do I identify them"? (I can't just compare the lists, as PowerMail alphabetizes its Address Book completely differently than AAB.) Thanks A
