[Matthias Schmidt]

Hi,
look the thread invalid helo cmd.
It's a bug.
if you are not on Maverik, you can downgrade:

else you are basically out of luck :(

p.s. if you want the NSA not to read your mails, well use Mail and OpenPGP

Re: invalid helo cmd - bug or what?

[Matthias Schmidt]

Jean Michel,
the bug appears with Postfix, the version shipped with 10.6 server, TLS/SSL.
I didn't tested it, because I use meanwhile Apple Mail because of missing 
support for PGP.
Also all of my accounts are meanwhile running via IMAP.
cheers

invalid helo cmd - bug or what?

[Matthias Schmidt]

Hello,
since updating to Powermail 6.2 emails can't be sent anymore.
The error is invalid helo command.
What I see at the server side is something like this:
Helo command rejected: invalid ip address; from= 
to= proto=ESMTP helo=<[::1]>
and of course the server is right, this helo cmd is invalid ;-)
So what's going on?

OpenGPG Scripts 4PM?

if and only if CTM decides to rewrite PowerMail, because that would be 
necessary (no 64bit support in Carbon, Textengine non-utf, limited 
imap-support) , then it might give PowerMail a boost and bring many new users.
As I wrote in the croatian thread, I reviewed all of the currently available 
mail-clients for the mac and the result was pretty frustrating.
There is currently no mail-client on the market, which can compete with the 
clear design and the power of the search-engine of PowerMail.

So again, please Jérôme, think about it, thank you.

no ... the engine is non-utf and that won't change.

I just did a review on mail-clients on the mac and the result was pretty 
frustrating.
There's not a one mail client on the market which could compete with a modern 
version of PowerMail, meaning full UTF and complete imap support (many parallel 
accounts open) with the search power of PM and the clean interface it offers.

so I think a (partial) rewrite of PM would be actually the way to go.

so please Jérôme, think about it.

the problem is that MacOS is UTF and the text-engine of PM is not.

Changing that would probably require a nearly complete rewrite of PM in Cocoa 
as the code basis of PM is probably still mostly Carbon. PM was originally 
written in CodeWarrior and CW was bought out of the market quite some time ago. 
A complete rewrite is a huge amount of work and the risk the market won't 
compensate for the effort is quite high, although PM might get a new big fan 
community this way, who knows

this won't work with PM as long as OSX standard-fonts are used, because they 
are all UTF.
The old CE-Fonts are not available anymore on MacOS X.

they suggest to use OS 7 fonts. These fonts can cause trouble with other 
applications under OS X.

I found some package (Os 8.1) on some croatian site, but they cant be 
downloaded :(

the text engine is the problem.

I don't have any old font for this anymore to install on that box.

PM is such a wonderful mail client, but it'll need to go really utf and iamp.

During the first rebuilt PM crashed then I changed the .old file names back and 
rebuilt again including index files, then I get the error again.

Re: Future

[Matthias Schmidt]

Koen,

PM is a pure text based MUA for the MacOS.
There's a new a new beta version available, which fixes some Lion bugs and will 
be compatible with 10.8.
The version can be found here:

Grouping E-Mail is available since quite some time in PM and PM has the best 
search engine of all mail clients I know of.
GMail also works with PM as well as html rendering, you just can't compose 
mails with html, it'll be always text.

If you need html composing and more funky stuff you might want to use another 
MUA.
The same is valid if you need to have simultaneous access to several mail 
accounts with IMAP.
If you need POP only PM is imho still the best MUA for the Mac :-)

I still hope CTMDEV will change the IMAP implementation in the near future.
That's actually my no1 feature request ... Jerome are you listening ^_^

cheers
Matthias

Forward Hotmail mails from PM

[Matthias Schmidt]

Hello,
because I have to use PGP and don't have time to write an Apple Script  
to handle that with PowerMail, I'm using Apple Mail in the moment.  
(Yes I miss Powermail). I'm also using IMAP in the moment and well  
there are some limitations with that as well.


When messages are forwarded from PowerMail to Apple Mail, which were  
originated by hotmail, they are not readable anymore on Apple Mail. I  
believe this is a bug in Powermail 6.03.

In this case, my guess is that you need to delete the folder:

imho you have some logical misstake in the setup of your filters somewhere.
I use a lot of filters as well and the y just work as expected.
It is easy to make somewhere a (mostly logical) misstake, which stays
unnoticed and shows up only under certain circumstances with a wired
misbehavior.

And guess what, Powermail is still my favorite :-)
I does exactly what it should:
sending and receiving e-mails.

Multipart Encoding for Text not recognized

[Matthias Schmidt]

Hello,

today I received a Japanese mail, send with Apple Mail (2.928.1) as
multipart/alternative.
The encoding of the text and of the html part (Shift JIS) was neither
recognized by PM nor by Safari 4.

This I find very strange.

Do you have set up a special incoming filter, like removing "RE:" or

That filter might not work anymore as supposed.

I don't know, what software is running on your server.
In case it is cyrus for POP and IMAP (the message sounds like that)
rebuild your mailboxes.
You can use mailbfr for that, if you are not really confident with the
command line for doing this.
In case it's something different like dovecot, you first need to read
the documentation how to do it.
Be aware, that all messages in the mailboxes on the server will return
to the state unread, so mails which are still stored on the server will
be pulled again by PM.

I never had problems with this.
I have indexing in the background active on a G4 Powerbook as well

How big is you mail database?
Did you already try to compact it?

well, I use German as default language, but a Japanese keyboard ;-)

So I switched the Finder to Japanese (with Kana as input), and preferred

for me.

OK, I can confirm that, but I don't think this behaviour can be changed,
because the space bar has a specific function with kana input.

Is it also so cold in Nara now?

There's a script called "Show Source in TextEdit".

That's growl settings, which you can adjust in the system preferences.

Some little issues with 6.0b1

[Matthias Schmidt]

Hello,

after using the last built for a couple of days I observed this:

- while PM is receiving mails, it seams the app is blocked - I get the
"SAT1"-cursor and can't do anything.
- Growl quite often hangs ..., but this is probably a growl problem and
has nothing to do with pm

I like the new list design and Quick Look is great :-)

Is there a possibility to connect simultaneously to several imap accounts?

I believe this has nothing to do with PM, but the server "pushes" these
mails again 

So, I'd setup a filter for these mails, so that they get collected in
one folder and redownload them and delete the whole folder after downloading.
Or you use IMAP and delete them from the server.

I don't see the point. Where is the risk?
Any bigger SQL database is handling gigabytes of data since years.

There is a problem, but no risk.

Re: PM 6 beta (4574)

Hello,

A one-file-monolythic database is really not up-to-date together with
technologies like Time Machine.
And the most often asked feature request in the past was to lift the 2GB
limit of the database and not styled text.

Hello,

I've just taken a short look on the new version.

I can't run pm5 in the same time as v6.

I miss a settings for sorting according threads.
I receive most mails from different lists and sorting by thread is for
me the most missing feature in pm5 and styled text the last thing I
really miss.

Will there be a separate beta list for testing and other stuff, like
localizing?

How's about imap? did anybody already test this a bit more?

I've read that discussion, but in the case of PM I think there's another
reason behind it.
Imho the Menu API in connection with apps using the carbon api has some
bugs, so I don't think it's only PM's fault.
I don't expect this to be fixed, because Apple won't put anymore
ressources into carbon. Everything goes to develop the cocoa framework
and this means using basically Objective-C in the future.

Crashes I observe are either connected to the IP stack, which stops

of course I can view html messages usually.

But replying to them is sometimes ... let's say uncomfortable, because I
have to mark the text.
The other point is, that some messages just contain in the text part
something, like "the service ... requires html in the moment".

Regarding the database, weather people prefer monolithic databases or
not, it doesn't matter. The current backup technology doesn't prefer
this structure.

Same thing with priority and some other features. All mail clients do
support that stuff, PM doesn't ...

PM doesn't define the standards, the major players do, so PM should
stick with it.

No.

I meanwhile also get sme messages html only.
And this is increasing..
More and more people do so and some services as well.

So yes, it gets more and more difficult t stick with PM.
One file database (time machine) with its 2GB limit, html messages and

go to Setup -> Schedules and Places (is it called like that in English?)
click on Schedules and then click the button "Accounts..." next to

Then you will get a list with your pop accounts each with a check box

Check the boxes for all accounts which should be checked regularly.

I'd suggest you to delete the account in PM and also to delete any entry

When you did that, recreate the account and double check, while entering

Re: Gmail

my guess is that either the port 587 is blocked or you entered something
incorrectly.

This setup from Angelica:

This sounds like an interesting observation.
Not sure if it's connected, Camino uses the Cocoa API.

What exactly did Onyx do for you to fix the problem with Camino.
btw, I actually stopped using Camino, as I found it way too buggy, but
that's a different story.

I daily run SuperDuper! to do backup, which runs a script before, but
that does nothing else then quitting some apps, like pm and repairing

the problem with this bug is anyway, that it doesn't occur always.

It never came to my mind that the problem might be related to open a window.

this is my problem right now.
For me PM is in the moment the only app with that problem.
I had before problems with some apps from Adobe, but it seams they don't
have it anymore.
So too me it looks like that PM is the only app left with this problem.

I just avoid hiding PM since some time now, because force quit quite
often requires an index rebuild and that takes time

Anyway, I'd update to 10.4.11, else you miss all the security updates
and that is a security issue.

as I said before, this problem doesn't occur with software I use, so I

Show Hide PM

[Matthias Schmidt]

Hello,

may I ask to finally fix this show hide bug?
It's been a long time around now - imho far too long.

with the last OS update (10.5.4) it got even worse.
From PM I can't hide PM anymore.
If I use Hide others from the Finder or Pathfinder, PM gets hidden, but
it won't "unhide" anymore - the icon does, but neither the menu bar nor
the windows will come to the front. All I can do is to force quit PM.
PM is the only piece of software I use which has this issue.
It's really annoying!

cheers,

PM was originally developed with CodeWarrior and I think it was a huge
piece of work to bring the CodeWarrior project over to XCode.
But it was also necessary, after CodeWarrior announced that they won't
support the Intel platform, which meant that CodeWarrior just died on the Mac.

LetterRip and UTF

[Matthias Schmidt]

Hello,

when mails are send  from Outlook in UTF to a mailinglist, which is run
by LetterRip, the mail is encoded in base64.
But LetterRip does append his footer lines in a different encoding.

In this case PM decodes the base64 encoded mail correct, but not the footer.
AppleMail doesn't have this "hickup".
This is a known bug in LetterRip, but I guess that will never be fixed
anymore.
Because LetterRip is still widely used in the Mac community, it'll be
nice to have a workaround for this in PM.

Thanks and all the best

I had the same problem recently.
This here helped:


it says:
Quit PowerMail, then delete the folder:

/Users//Library/Application Support/PowerMail

and then re-launch it. (If the script files that PowerMail uses to
communicate with SpamSieve may be damaged, this will fix them.)

you need to copy your own scripts again to the folder before starting PM, so.
But this at least fixed my issue.

the problem i see is that clicking on a window from PM doesn't bring PM
to the front anymore.
But PM is not the only app with which I observed that.

imho this is related to the not hiding "bug" (we still don't know, if
it's a pm bug or a bug in one of the used libs).

I had the problem also with 4D 2004 (the problem was gone in v11).
I suspect a bug in a Carbon Lib which is rarely used, but by apps which
are coming the long way from far before OS9.

And I didn't observed that problem anymore with Leopard and Intel.

With Leopard the problem vanished.

No Internet Connection?

[Matthias Schmidt]

Hello,

since the last update of PowerMail I have some issues with automatic
connections.
PM would just not connect to the server, but claims there's no internet
connection.
Of course there is, the server is on the local network, a volume is
mounted, I can access the server from any other software the ip
connection is just fine.
Then I checked, if PM is trying to connect at all and I get nothing in
my network sniffer.
It looks like PM is even not trying to open a connection.
This happens after PM is running for quite some time.
Quitting and restarting PM cures the problem.
So my assumption would be, that there is a memory leak.

What are you for a strange person shouting around here on the list, when

Try to switch your brain on before typing.
If you need the headers just print the text message.

open the html in your webbrowser.
You can do so by choosing the little globe on the bottom of the window
and then choose show in webbrowser.
From there you can print the html message. No big deal, always works for me.

I just tried that and it looks like something pops up, but disappears so
quickly, that I even don't see it.
PM just disconnects from the imap account and quits, just as I would
expect it.

And btw, it looks to me the imap implementation has improved :-)

The search in PM has improved a lot.
Well done - Thanks ctmdev :-)

this is PM5.6.1 on an intel MacBookPro, running Leopard

Thanks and all the best
