Thanks. As you sent this I found the instructions to use the PMKey in the registration email from CTM that I'd saved. I had in the meantime deleted the new (temporary) PowerMail Files folder and reinstalled PowerMail on the new Mac. I copied the PMKey from the old Mac to the new one, then dragged it onto the PM icon in the dock. That seems to have gotten the registration done.
After I got the PMKey in place, I put the Gmail settings back in. First attempt to connect gave me a message that I needed an application specific password from Gmail. I had not seen this on previous attempts. I got one, and after changing the password to the application specific password, Gmail is now working. I don't yet want to copy over my old PowerMail files folder, as I want to experiment with IMAP. I've been using POP up to now. I am continuing to use PowerMail on 10.4 until I fully shift over to the newer Mac. Thanks for the help. - Winston Weinmann CTM Development wrote: >Hello, > >On 1., you need to drag your PMKey file onto the application - typing in >the code will not suffice. > >On 2. if you have a working setup on a previous Mac, copy the entire >PowerMail Files folder to the new Mac, then drag the PowerMail Message >database onto the newly installed application - a safer choice than >having to reenter configuration data for GMail which has changed >policies many times since the 10.4 days. > >Regards, > >jean michel/ctm qa > >> On Apr 9, 2016, at 11:17 PM, Winston Weinmann ><weinm...@mindspring.com> wrote: >> >> Having these problems with setting up PowerMail in Mac OS 10.11: >> >> 1.
