I ran into this also in December, which I described on the list as a 'Focus Problem'. Below is what I wrote about my 'fix' for the problem. Sorry it wasn't more definitive and systematic, but I would probably start with cleaning the user caches. I have since completely moved PowerMail from my G4 Cube to my Pismo running the same system version (10.4.11). The problem didn't recur on the Cube, nor on the Pismo after the move. I did start with a completely fresh mail database on the Pismo. Anyway - My response to my own problem: Well, I just got out the shotgun (MainMenu) and did the following: - Repaired Permissions (seemed to only find permissions related to iTunes and Flash to repair) - Update Prebindings (I've heard that this is no longer relevant in 10.4.?, and the log seemed to only contain 'image not found' and 'no need to re-prebind' messages at a quick scan. - Cleaned user caches - A bunch of PowerMail cache files were listed - Cleaned archived logs Now, the front PowerMail window snaps into focus when I click on the dock icon or use the application switcher. It occurs to me that I have my Cube set to sleep between 10:00 pm and 5:00 am, so perhaps the daily/weekly/monthly scripts could have also 'fixed' this problem. Anyhow, problem solved for me... - Don -- Don V. Zahniser PowerMail 5.6.1 on Mac OS 10.4.11
