I've just added a new mail account that has a quite long domain name. In
the "Mail Accounts" window > Receiving tab > Incoming mail server field
I've inserted the "pop3." prefix followed by a 34 character string.
After completing the settings I discovered that PM won't receive any
incoming messages because, in some way, it had truncated the last seven
characters of the incoming mail string. It actually cut off the
characters that exceeded the field where they where inserted in, in the
"Mail Accounts" window. Though, this happens after saving the Mail
accounts window. In all the other fields this don't occur even though
these fields are containing a larger number of characters than what they
can actually display.
Any suggestion?
Thank you in advance.
Giovanni

Good catch, but didn't make a difference.

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. Which doesn't mean PM is to blame,
but it's involved at least.

Whenever I have used the script "set status to "sent" " PM still wants
to send it. So obviously PM 6.03 doesn't respect the change that
seemingly took place. I looked in the PM script dictionary and there's
still a status property of a message that doesn't appear to be read-only
and of the possible values are "sent". Considering this script is
delivered with PM (inside the application) I'm wondering what could be
going on. Ideas?

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.

Sorry I tried to help.
Won't happen again.

There is a limit of 77 characters for the "user account ID" concatenated
with "incoming mail server". So, if your user account ID is 45
characters long and the incoming mail server 39 characters longs, you
can't use them in PowerMail. One solution would be to put the IP address
instead of the hostname, or to create a DNS alias for this hostname.
