OK, I've tried everything I can think of to get PowerMail 6.1 to copy onto my PowerBook, including
- downloading and copying from another account (basically an unused account) on my PowerBook - downloading and copying after booting from my previous OS 10.4 system on my backup drive - downloading and copying on a G4 Cube running OS 10.5 All of the above give the error message that the alias "Resources" can't be copied. - downloading to a MacBook running 10.7. PM 6 will copy from the disk image to the MacBook, and appears to run on the MacBook. But when I try to copy from the MacBook to my PowerBook I get the message: "The operation can't be completed because one or more required items can't be found. (Error code -43)" Given that PM 6.1 won't copy from the disk image to either of two different G4 Macs, running 10.4 and 10.5, I think there must be a problem with the PM 6.1 file I am downloading.
