As with all other backup softwares, making a backup of PowerMail's
database while PowerMail is open (especially with a scheduled
connection) can probably produce a corrupted backup. Additionally, your
entire mail database will be backed up every hour (assuming you have
received at least one message since the previous backup), so if it is
large, it will be slow and use a lot of space on your backup drive, as
Time Machine will keep many versions of the entire database. Also,
PowerMail's own .old backup (done when you compact your database) as
well as the spotlight cache (if spotlight indexing is enabled) are
probably not worth to backup.
