I found out what prevented PM from only retrieving messages messages
from my ISP's server and not .Mac on the schedule set up in PM -- every
2 minutes. Unchecking "Save passwords in Mac OS keychain" returned
things to normal. Migration Assistant must have sent a sent an electron
or two to the wrong place.

I am trying Leopard. I did a new install on an external drive and had
it copy over my old disk. (if it works out the external drive gets
moved to an internal boot drive).
Overall, pretty good. I did hit the keychain problem, but the patch
seems to have fixed it.
I have 2 problems with Powermail.
First is that none of the schedules seem to run. I even made a new one,
and made it active, but none of the auto connect parts work.
Second, it reset the default account for sending new emails. I know I
was able to set it before, but I cannot figure out how to do it now.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Bob

I set my default account for sending in
Setup:Mail Schedulings and Locations...
[Tab:] Locations
Not perhaps intuitively located.

I decided to drop most of my addresses at hotpop.com for discussion type
emails now when Gmail have 2.8GB storage space, secure connections and
no fees. I've been having long long standing problems in every
incarnation of PowerMail since version 3 that kept a certain amount of
hotpop.com addressed messages on server and only made them downloadable
after I checked "download all messages left on server again". This
messages had NEVER been downloaded before however. As I also had a
related problem that left me no choice to ALWAYS delete messages after
every server connection or PM would re-download every message indefinitely.
I've listened in on the connections (the logs which have been made known
here in the past) when I had a similar problem on my own email server
and separately volunteered to CTM to help find the cause of this problem
so that users could be advised on how to change their settings or
administrators of mail software could patch their systems to avoid this
kind of problem (if the cause was to be found in the mailserver
software) or in the event if PM did something less desirable to change
this in a future update.
On my own, however, I didn't have enough knowledge to pinpoint the
problem, especially when I didn't have access to the server myself (as
in the case of hotpop) .
So far, my gmail addresses haven't given me any problems and the Gmail
servers and PM seem to agree on what messages have been downloaded or
not. So no re-downloaded messages. I'm going to check now and then on if
messages on server never gets downloaded as have regularly been the case
with hotpop and with my Apple server software (as supplied in Mac OS X
Server 10.2).

So, you still have the keychain bug. Your keychain doesn't work. Did you
install the apple update?
