Re: PM5 and AOL
Set it up as an IMAP account. Check the box to use Port 143. Your username is your AOL user name. OK. Here's what I've got. I set up a new mail account and called it AOL. In the Identity tab I put [EMAIL PROTECTED] as my AOL e-mail address, and entered my Real Name. In the Receiving tab I selected UMAP4 as the Protocol, and Sanna as the User Account ID. I left Incoming Mail Server blank (I didn't know what to put there), and left the Password field empty for the time being. I checked Use Port 143, as you suggested, however if I save the settings, close the window, and then reopen Mail Accounts again, Use Port 143 is no longer checked. What is different, is that my User Account ID has changed from Sanna to Sanna:143. Is this how it should be? As far as the Sending tab goes, I left this blank for the time being as well.

Re: Unable to Send
Contact TDS Metrocom and ask if they have started blocking port 25. ISP's typically do this to prevent their users from being spammers. If Metrocom is blocking port 25 then you have 2 options. Ask catalog.com to open another listener port on their email server. I use port 2525. This is rarely blocked and works great as it is actually an old email port anyway. The other option is to setup a sending account using metrocom's email server in PowerMail that has your work return email address for when you are sending email from home.

In PM 5 I would like to be able to bypass the PM AB entirely. I also haven't been happy with allowing PM to alter Apple's Address Book. I only do a one-way sync to PowerMail. and have done so for most of the time I've been using PowerMail I also restart PM frequently so that its up-to-date with new address additions. Still, I have one filter that is based on a group of addresses that manages to miss the same email addresses continually. I've been putting off creating a backup filter for those messages that slip through that group-based filter. I don't have any use for the PM address book and would also like to disable it altogether. I follow in the line. On a very early stage I turned off syncing from PM to Apple AB as it messed up my Apple AB. It works so-so the other way around, though. I use Apple AB as my contact center for other applications as well, and would love to access it directly from PM. As is now, it feels like half a solution, and I never use the Address Book Icon, the Add to Address Book feature etc. This slows down my overall contact administration, and I would really like to see a preference option to work directly with Apple AB. I guess it must be possible -- I have a demo of GyazMail, which reads and opens up a window with relevant info from Apple AB in its own GUI, plus the three buttons To, Cc and Bcc and a search field. Looks and works very nice. Another window pops up when choosing Add Sender to Address Book, where I also can select Apple AB Label and Group, plus add text in its note field. It writes directly into Apple AB. An option to have PM working in the same manner is on top on my wish list for major feature additions. Please! Please...!

Enhancement suggestion for manually marking as spam
Hi, though I have suggested a solution to the manually marked as good keeps Spam label color problem, I am now also in the situation where I would like to have the ability to perform an AppleScript after both, Manually mark as Spam and Manually mark as good. This should be an additional preference in the Mark as Spam Pref pane. Reason: I too want Spam messages colored differently. When I do a manually mark as Spam on a message judged good by the system, it is moved to the Spam folder (according to my setting), but there is no way to assign it the Spam label automatically. Why an AppleScript and not that specific additional option? Because you never know... :-) In AppleScript I can do all sorts of things which might prove helpful at some later time (e.g. using AppleScript to maintain a database that records original domain and time sent to create a Spam/ domain and Spam/daytime distribution chart). Also, I might want to add a remark to the subject and/or content indicating when I marked this message as Spam manually (or better, _that_ I did it manually). Regards, Christian.

On 22/04/2004 at 7:28 AM I saw Bob Moody type: Spam blockers are unnecessary. Just categorically saying they are unnecessary is a bit extreme. Just use your web browser to log into your pop account using webmail. Look at what's there and delete everything that you don't want. (I hit select all then individually uncheck the ones I want, then hit the delete button on the page.) Some people may not have webmail access. Some may not want to complicate the process by adding another step. Some need to deal with the 200 or so 'real' messages they do need, and to manually uncheck or check them would be very time consuming. After doing that, log into your mail account with PowerMail and download what's left. This leaves spam, viruses, etc. behind and you only get what you want. It takes an extra 1-2 minutes for me to do this, and I usually have about 90 messages, 4-5 of which I keep. I have anywhere from 70-150 messages that I need to keep. I do get spam, and without something like SpamSieve, my workflow would be severely hampered by manual editing of the inbox. To each his own solution. I'm happy that you don't need a spam blocker software. Kename *REPLYING TO MESSAGE QUOTED BELOW** Thu, 22 Apr 2004 12:58:51 +0200 david.gordon wrote: I already had SpamSieve.

Re: Which SpamSieve?
I deleted the version of SpamSieve in the PM folder, before I even launched PM 5. There seems to have been no ill effects, and my existing copy of SS (2.1.4) is still using my existing Corpus.

files that HTML messages create
Here's a questions that I've wondered about for ages but never got around to asking: When HTML messages arrive, I sometimes get a file in the attachments folder called Enclosure.html, sometimes one called PowerMail HTML message.html, and sometimes the HTML message does not create a file at all AFAIK. What determines the different behaviour? Also, is there any way to avoid having to retain these created files in order to read the message later? I keep my email for years, and I hate the ideas that in order to be sure of being able to read an HTML message received 9 months ago I have to have a vast reservoir of files called Enclosure.1.html, Enclosure.2.html, Enclosure.875.html, etc. Thanks; Rick -- G5 2GHz x2 :: 2GB RAM :: 10.3.2 :: PM 5.0b12 :: 3 pane mode

Re: PM 5 icons and some observations
Is that a fly? What has a fly got to do with spam? And Mark as Good doesn't follow the theme (or vis versa). I'm not sure Reply, Forward or Redirect are clear either. I'll probably turn off the icons - just like I did in PM 4. Allow me to disagree with these observations. Frankly, I found the fly to be obvious and intuitive. I mean, what are flies attracted to the most, right? I've already commented on the arrows. I'll agree that the difference between forward and redirect is not obvious. That's best done with a tail of some kind on the arrows. Forward could be a straight arrow pointed right, while the redirect arrow could look like a ricochet bouncing off the letter icon. --- Scott T. Hards President HobbyLink Japan (www.hlj.com)

Re: file access problems
Ron, When I use PM on my desktop, where I am an administrative user, I have no problems. When I use it on a laptop, where my account is not an administrative account, it almost always crashes when I quit the program. I think it is related to attachments. It complains of not having sufficient privileges. Is there a way around this problem? Thanks for the crash log. Do you have your mail scheduling set to send mail before quitting? Do you have some waiting messages that have an attachment for which you don't have access privilege? You can try to launch PM with the command and option keys pressed, and check the purge outgoing queue checkbox. Let me know if that solves the problem. Best regards Jérôme - PowerMail Engineering - My message database holds close to 200.000 messages. The find function in PowerMail 4.2 returns results like lightning. Absolutely fabulous!

Re: PM5 bug with previously sent msgs
Karel, It doesn't work 'automatically' while sending messages either... I created a simple outgoing filter: only 'filter outgoing messages' checked conditions: status is sent In PM 4, outgoing filters were applied once the message has been sent. In PM 5.0b12, they are applied before sending the message, while it's status is still draft. Filing an outgoing message (even manually, either draft, waiting or sent) sets the folder where it will be moved once it has been successfully sent (so it won't be filed if you do not send it after running the filter manually). In PM 5.0 final, they will be applied before sending, but when the message has a waiting status. Filing a message (even when applying the filter manually) will be immediate for any message except when the status is waiting; in this case the message will be filed when successfully sent.

Re: Additional comments/wish list
On Thu, Apr 22, 2004, the following words from Scott at HobbyLink Japan [EMAIL PROTECTED], emerged from a plethora of SPAM ... Greater control over fonts and colors (allow me to set individual colors for each background of the mail browser's panes and the message window, as well as font colors) One of the main reasons I love exporting my email to a FileMaker Pro database is the control I have over the colors, fonts and overall appearance. Not just in viewing messages, but also in printing messages. Some people like to spend a lot of time tweaking and customizing their desktop icons, but I much prefer to customize the documents and data I use frequently. In PowerMail, the list view text is always too small and black text on white background causes my eyes to tire easily, so I like creating databases with text formatting and colors I can read comfortably. In Emailer, it was possible to have different font options for screen and for print - that would be a welcome feature in PowerMail. I have to admit that it's rare for me to print directly from PowerMail due to the lack of control over the print output. When I need to print email, I take the time to copy to another application or to FileMaker Pro. But, even in Emailer, I often had to print from another application more frequently than I wanted because of the format options. -- For each age is a dream that is dying, Or one that is coming to birth. -Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy * 867 PowerBook G4 * OS X 10.2.8 * 768 MB Ram *
Additional comments/wish list
How about adding the send waiting messages to the toolbar options? This is something which I use every day - and it would be very handy to have a button for it... I'll second that! And it *still* asks me when I want to modify a message in the out tray, and I still answer modify as draft 25 times a day. (okay, so I exaggerate a bit..) Jerome, please make that an optional warning, or trash it all together. I am in control of my clicking. Also, a somewhat esoteric comment regarding the new status icons, i.e. the little crystal blue arrowhead indicating 'replied:' It seems a bit too unarrow-like to me. I understand it's a design theme along with the same little blue arrows/triangles on the letter icons in the toolbar, but how about giving them little tails, or making them a bit wider in relation to their height. Yeah, maybe it's just me, but... Two other features I hope to see in PM at some point: Ability to freely arrange folders (currently alphabetical only) Greater control over fonts and colors (allow me to set individual colors for each background of the mail browser's panes and the message window, as well as font colors) --- Scott T.

Incoming mail filter problem in PM 5.0 Beta
Hi, I'm having a problem with the following incoming mail filter setting which worked flawlessly in 4.x: [x] Filter incoming messages Conditions: Subject begins with CONFIRM Account is mailinglist-admin Status is not read Status is not replied Execute if all conditions are met Actions: Execute AppleScript Handle Confirm message Set status to Replied The Handle Confirm message AppleScript script reads as follows: tell application PowerMail 5.0b12 set theMessages to current messages repeat with msg in theMessages my handleConfirm(msg) end repeat end tell on handleConfirm(msg) tell application PowerMail 5.0b12 set replyMsg to (reply to msg without replying to all) set content of the replyMsg to set status of the replyMsg to waiting end tell end handleConfirm The problem: Whereas the set status to replied action is actually carried out (i.e., the filter does run on the respective messages), no outgoing message is created like should be. It seems the AppleScript either does not run at all or there are no current messages during execution. When I run the above AppleScript script manually on a message, it works as expected and creates a new reply message in the out try with empty body. As I said, the above filter worked flawlessly in PM 4.x. and stopped working in 5.0 beta. Any hints? Regards, Christian.
