Jerome,
I've been on the phone with my ISP for over an hour today, very politely
but firmly trying to dig deeper into this. It was clearly happening only
with PowerMail (setting up the account in Mail.app worked fine), and
only on accounts that were created or modified recently: I could change
the password on an account and change it right back, and sending would
stop working with PowerMail.
Mail problems are all pretty simple, so they didn't want to dig too
deep, but I finally had an encryption discussion with a senior tech, and
he sent back this:
>...we think we've figured out how to make Communigate play nice with

It does seem to have fixed the problem. My guess is that a version of
CommuniGate at some point started using U-crpt as a default for new
passwords, and only because I hadn't touched mine did they still work
(because, goes my theory, they still used the old default). Once a
password was touched, it re-encrypted with the new default, and
PowerMail couldn't authenticate anymore.
This is a very good knowledgebase article to have in the discussion
archives, as it's very obscure, and difficult to diagnose, but rather
concrete when you get down to it. And possibly a good new feature for
PowerMail 5.5.4, to be able to handle U-crpt, whatever it is.
Any further advice - like what encryption PowerMail likes best on the
server side - would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
(who can finally send from his account again - yay!!)

I have two issues related to an IMAP account.
#1 - I leave PowerMail running when I sleep the computer. When I wake
it, it still says it is connected to the IMAP server, however it stops
retrieving messages. I have to close the connection and re-open it.
#2 - I have the HTML reader disabled. When I open a message, it does
not retrieve it from the server. I have to click the "Show HTML" button
at the bottom in order to get it to retrieve the message.
Thanks
Kevin

Subject: Smart folders
From: "Georges Piriou" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Good morning everybody,
I tried, a few weeks ago, to mimic the behaviour of smart folders in PM5.
The best result I got is a filter, that, for all messages:
- Move the message in a NEWMAILS folder
- Execute a default apprescript (Duplicate Message.scpt)
This results in quite a mess: messages that are being processed by
subsequent filters are correctly moved to destination folders, while
others of course are not, and I still get lots of double mails.
Has any of you ever tried to replicate smart folders?
Thanks for the attention,

No, but I really want CTM to *implement* them.
I've been asking for them for at least a couple of years now, but there
has never been even glimmer of response -- positive or negative -- on
the matter from CTM, which I find extremely frustrating. (Likewise my
repeated requests to know whether retaining the contents of the Recent
Mail Window between PM launches will ever be a possibility. But that's
an even longer and more vexing story).
Really, Smart folders show up in so many other apps that they can hardly
be considered an obscure and unattainable goal, can they? And they would
solve so many, if not all, of my pet gripes with PM.
So, CTM, I'm calling you out:
Are you, or are you not, planning to introduce Smart folders in Powermail?
Rick
