Ah, maybe that this function was lost during migration! But why does it work out of "Smile"? - Maybe because "Smile" is running with Rosetta but PM and the scripteditor nativ. I think that's the answer for my question.

From: "PowerMail Engineering" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2007 14:13:36 +0100 Anna Silliman wrote: >When I first set up Spotlight (on OS 10.4.8) it asked if I wanted my PM >indexed, then it automatically put a PM Database cache inside my >PowerMail folder (in User~Mail). Does anyone know if I can move that >cache somewhere else? PowerMail expects the Spotlight Cache to be in the same folder as the message database. However, you can move it to another location and replace it with symlink in the database folder. Symlinks are unix like aliases. The Finder can display them (they are shown as an alias) but you can only create them from Terminal. Here is how to do that: - Quit PowerMail - Move the "Message Database Spotlight cache" file to another location - in a terminal window, type this command: ln -s [path of the moved spotlight cache] [path of the database folder]/ You can drag and drop the files from the Finder to paste their path to the Terminal window. Make sure to REMOVE the trailing slash (/) from the cache path, and to LEAVE the trailing slash for the database folder. Example (to type on a single line): ln -s /Users/jerome/Library/Message\ Database\ Spotlight\ cache /Users/jerome/Mail/PowerMail\ Files/ Or you can use a third party utility (SymbolicLinker or Make Symlink) to create symlinks from the contextual menu in the Finder.

Guess what? What HTML presents to the user is text to be read. If PM renders and displays HTML it should print as well. Whatever the problem is with the technology behind it should be resolved.

(I used The Bat! on Windows.) I stumbled across some references to PowerMail, but have a few questions before I would consider buying it. Probably the best way to ask is to compare to features in AppleMail that either I want to maintain or are lacking: 1. I do want to keep separate in/out/sent boxes for each account. (I have four and my wife has two.) Does PowerMail have that feature? 2. I want to set at what point lines wrap, something I cannot get AppleMail to do. In part I don't like lines runing all the way across my screen, but I also intend to use GPG, and need a fixed wrap point. 3. I like to thread certain mailboxes, but with AppleMail, when I open the "parent" e-mail, it opens all messages in the thread, a real pain if there are a lot of responses. 4. How good is its anti-spam capability? Thanks for any assistance veteran users can give me. -- Cheers, Rick ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Spotlight cache in PM folder? another problem From: "Anna Silliman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2007 12:19:31 -0600 Recently, PowerMail Engineering wrote: >You can drag and drop the files from the Finder to paste their path to >the Terminal window.

So when I double click on it, instead of finding that message it opens a new message in PM. I see that the other files found (docs, etc) in the spotlight search show their path going to the original file, but the PM files all point to the cache...?? I don't know if this is related but sometimes the PM files that Spotlight finds show a code number in the subject line instead of the original subject. For example: 00a778.PMMessageMD. However, this was happening also before I moved the cache. Any idea what is wrong?

I am currently using a MacBook, do not like AppleMail, am receiving mail on a PC and use TheBat! there. I have imported TheBat! into Parallels/WindowsXP but would prefer to simply work with Apple on the MacBook. Options wanted: Redirect mail smoothly for others (mailing lists), WYSIWYG compose/send, ability to fend off HTML (TB! uses tabs and I read the plain text mail on top of HTML and rarely even look at the HTML tab), delete duplicates across an account, multiple accounts, no limits on size beyond limits of PC on which PowerMail is installed, built-in backup and restore system. Decent search capability across the entire mail program. I tend to use the mail program for filing important notes and attached graphics. Many thanks for a response. I haven't yet installed the trial program, assume that it is only good for so many days, I'd like to get a feel for whether most or all of these options are there before I give the program a go.
