Hello all,
I downloaded a copy of PowerMail 6, rather like the programme
and am thinking of purchasing a license.
Could I ask a couple of questions before committing to spending
money on PowerMail:
1. After setting up my first account, I am unable to send mail
and cannot find any instructions on how to change the necessary
settings: where can I look?
2. How does PowerMail handle "stationery", as in Eudora and Mailsmith?
Thanks in advance,
marina

Study the manual:

What do you really mean with "stationary"? Explain it explicitly, pls.

Meantime I got it. ;-)
You can install a new folder, call it "draft" oder "stationary".
There you can write and store as many e-mails you want (best without
introducing the sender).
To send such a mail to somebody, just introduce sender's address (PM will aks
you: "Do you want to duplicate this e-mail?" (or analogously in English), and
you click on "Yes", after that you can send it.

HI Marina:
1. Email settings are contained in each account (Setup:Mail Accounts...) and
are in three tabs. You have to get some details from your ISP, or check the
required details in the emailer you are using at the moment.
Tab 1 Identity:
Fill out the fields with your email address and other information.
In the Advanced section you can add headers in the "Other headers" such as
return receipt details
e.g. Return-Receipt-to: Marina <[email protected]>. The return receipt option
works for all mail sent from a particular account. Unlike Eudora you cannot
reply to someone else's request for a return receipt, but you can request one
from recipients you email. If you don't want to have return-receipt for all
recipients of a particular account, then set up another with all the same
details, leave "other headers" blank and call the account "Marina2" or
whatever.
Tab 2 Receiving
Set the protocol. In my case I always use POP3, I never use IMAP
set your user account ID in my case my email address entered in Tab1 so try the
email you are using such as "[email protected]"
Set your incoming mail server, for example mail.lockedbags.org (you will have
to find out the actual server name from your ISP, or find it out in the current
mail application you are using
Save the password you are using for your email address
Advanced connection details: you will have to find out what your ISP uses, for
example use secure connection (SSL/TLS) Use port 995 on a dedicated secure port
Tab 3 Sending
Outgoing SMTP Server. Again find out what your ISP uses. Could be the same as
the incoming mail (for example mail.lockedbags.org) or it could be something
like smtp.mail.lockedbags.org - ask your ISP.
Set your email address which is one you have already registered with your ISP
(and be the same as set out on the other tabs)
Type in your password that you registered with your ISP.
Set the secure connection (once again as your ISP says) for example check "Use
secure connection (SSL/TLS)"; check "Use port: 465"
2. Stationery
PowerMail does not have stationery afaik. I got used to creating stationery
using Applescript and it works fine, even though I am a total amateur in
Applescript. If you want to go ahead with buying PowerMail I can send you some
sample scripts and instructions.
There is a handy scripts menu item to the left of the "Help" menu and you can
easily access your stationery from there.
I still think Eudora had the best email stationery setup ever. Don't know why
other emailers lack this essential tool.
