File -> Database -> Compact
solves the problem
maybe updating index will also do.
All the best

Latest version, but I haven't run any of the maintenance routines. I'll
try that tonight when I get home. Thanks.

Verifying consistency should fix this (has for me). Do this on startup
(hold down command-option).

I have been using an applescript that changes the incoming messages to
whatever is on the clipboard. It isn't perfect, but it works. To use it,
copy something to the clipboard first, then run this script from the
PowerMail script menu to replace the entire text email message with the
clipboard contents. Adapted from a 1999 Claris Emailer script.
It's only 8k, and anyone interested can download it here:
http://sbamug.com/drdave/powermail/ReplaceMsgText.zip
Hopefully, this will provide an example of how to edit an incoming
email via applescript.
Hope this helps.
Best,

Trying to export a PM folder and it's content to Mail.
Mail will only see the exported folder and tell me it is a local folder
but not show any messages and states that the folder has zero messages,
though 164 messages should be there after the export.
Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Steps I did :
FIRST attempt:
1) select folder in PM
2) go to menubar => File => Database => Export...
3) select 'the selected mail folders'
4) select 'mac os x mail' and enable 'include attachments'
(tried it with and without including attachments)
5) click on 'go ahead' and accept the default location
(which is in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes)
6) launch MAIL
7) the new folder is there but no messages.
(when I check in the finder, there are no messages either,
only a plist and mbox file).
SECOND attempt:
As above, except I selected all messages and then exported 'all selected
messages'.
Is export broken I wonder? Is there another way to get that folder into Mail?
Thanks,
---marlyse

I hate it when I find the answer before my message even makes it to the
list, and this after trying a variety of other things :)
But anyhow, it's not a bug, just works differently than expected.
Steps are:
1) export folder e.g. to desktop in mail format
2) in mail select IMPORT mailbox and format OTHER
3) select the exported mbox file
4) all good...
5) optional : wade through the volume of wrongly marked junk email :)

If you have read any apple discussion groups lately, and if you are using
Apple Mail 2 [the one with Tiger] the consensus seems to be that the
import function in Apple Mail is broken even when importing mail from
Apple Mail 1.x. The solution as you have found is to import as "other."
