In terms of how much mail is collected on the POP server...I sure don't think that thousands is "too much" -- when I was away from my computer for a month last year I came home to almost 10,000 messages unread. As far as I could tell, Powermail read them without a problem from my company mail server (kerio) --
However, from our experience in sending email from our software products we have discovered that some servers don't follow the standards like others...so from time to time we need to "update" our code to work correctly. I would have expected Powermail to have found all these in the past 15 years....but it's a big world, and it's quite possible there are strange combinations that cause problems. I ASSUME MB has run all the Powermail database routines, including the low level rebuild. I do the full rebuilds on my database at least once a month. It's not that I don't trust Powermail more than any other product. It's that I'm been in the software business for over 25 years using databases of all kinds and I value my mail database, so I run those procedures. Outside of reoccurring display problems in the Recipients field, odd HTML mail display problems, and the odd crash (which may be the OS) I've not seen any Powermail data integrity problems with the large volume of email I receive. I'd hope CTM would be working on version 7 to gain some upgrade revenue...but that doesn't appear to be the case. That's too bad, I just hope they continue to maintain the product for future OS changes so that we are not forced to change....I do like the quick and powerful searching! that's my 2 cents worth. +-------------------------------------------+ Bill Schjelderup -- [email protected] +-------------------------------------------+ >Powermail sa såhär: > >>probably his problem is the amount of mail ... 4000+ >>that's a lot and who can read so much? >>I get maybe some 300 to 400 mails per day and don't read them all. > >Yes, surely that must be the problem. :P >This account, though have 7000+ messages and does sync up more or less >in real time. > >I have left tens of thousands on email servers accessed with POP since >1994 and PowerMail is the only client that ever gave me this specific >problem on *some* accounts, not all.
