Having these problems with setting up PowerMail in Mac OS 10.11:
1. PowerMail does not hold onto my registration. Every time it re-opens it's in
trial mode and I have to re-enter the registration code.
2. I cannot get PowerMail to connect to Gmail. I have tried using Gmail's
one-time application password, tried using POP and tried using IMAP, and it
will not connect. PowerMail is still working fine in Mac OS 10.4 to connect to
Google via POP on my old computer. I have checked and rechecked the settings
multiple times. Apple Mail can connect to Gmail.
This is a fresh install of PowerMail, on a recently set up 2010 MacBook Pro
running Mac OS 10.11.3.
PowerMail version 6.2.1 build 4668
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

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.

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.
