Resonse to clicks while receiving
Hi, I am using PM 5.0b18. I notice that while the status line in lower right of browser window shows retrieval of messages, PM won't respond to clicks on a folder or message until after Idle shows in the status line. Instead I get a spinning beach ball. Is this expected behavior for a PowerMac G5 DP 1.8GHz, 1.5GB RAM? System is lightly loaded (less than 50% CPU for both processors, as shown by iPulse). I thought PM 5.0 was multithreaded. -- Craig Dudley Systems Communications Sciences, Inc. 244 Poor Farm Rd. New Ipswich, NH 03071-3922 603-878-1148 Fax 603-878-1929

I'm not sure this would be so great: this would mark the next message as read, and that is not necessarily what you want. However, pressing the down arrow key after deleting multiple messages should select the next message.

[PM5b26] Mark as spam and message selection
Hi, earlier betas had the feature that when one manually marked as spam a message in the Recent Messages window, the operation was handled similarly to a move to trash command: The message was classified as spam and the next message was selected automatically. The only problem (or bug) here was that the window was scrolled in a way that after the operation, the message that had been marked as spam was in view, but not the newly selected one. In 5b26, this behaviour changed such that after a manual marking as spam, the marked message stays selected. When sorting by folder location, this means the view jumps to the very bottom of the RMW, and one has to use the mouse or the cursor keys to move to the place where one was immediately before performing the mark as spam action. I suspect this new, much less convenient behaviour is tied to the issue originally reported by Jim Pistrang for b26 where deleting a message in e.g. the RMW no longer selects the next message automatically (even though this behaviour is checked in the preferences), but removes any message selection. It would be cool if Mark as Spam was treated exactly the same as Move to trash, i.e. it carries out the action, selects the next message and does scroll the window only(!) when the resulting selection is beyond the current viewport of the window. Regards, Christian.
Re: Sender's local time

Sender's local time
Is there a way to add the sender's local time to the Simple Header? If not, it would be nice to have it put on the to-do list. With a lot of contacts in different time zones, it would be a great help to see the sender's local time. For instance when getting an urgent message, one can make a judgement of how soon it is expected to be answered by checking if the sender's local time is in the beginning or the end of his/her business hours.

Executable file attachments
Hi all, The recent claims/counter claims over the possibility of an MP3 trojan, made me wonder whether PM (4 or 5) allows executable attachments ( = .app) to execute from a double click on the icon at the bottom of the browser window. Alternatively would it flag up a warning allowing the user to bail out of anything suspicious? I ask this out of curiosity, since I am very wary of unsolicited attachments and generally bin them straight off. cheers, Chris

Re: Toolbar problems
I use Recent Mail regularly. I leave it open at the bottom of the screen ordinarily. When this window is open in a larger size and I click on the green button to change size back to the smaller size it expands sending the toolbar to the top of the screen hiding the top of it behind the PowerMail menu bar. It is not possible then to click the green button (or red or yellow buttons) or place the cursor on the top margin to drag it down. I have to click the Zoom Window to retrieve the Recent Mail I just tried it out and you are right, the same thing happened to my recent mail folder. Willem
Where are mail filters?
I've installed the 5.026 beta. It did not ask me to convert the 4.something database, but when I copied the database over it did it fine. However, the 5 beta has no filters. So I guess I need to copy the filters over too. Except that I can't find them. Which file has them? (And I hope there will be a new beta very quickly that after deleting a file selects the next. That is one annoying bug!) Oh, now that I'm writing this I note that my signature has gone AWOL too. What file has that one? V.
Screen re-draw problems
I've been using the beta version of PowerMail the past few weeks. I usually have the Recent Mail in a reduced size at the bottom of the screen. When I want to view it in an expanded size I hit the green button and the window expands as a blank page. It does not re-draw until I click on the top of the window where Subject, etc. are supposed to be displayed. These are also not re-drawn until I click where one of them should be. Sometimes I have to click on this window more than once before a re-draw takes place. I never saw this on the non-beta version. Dan (Running OS 10.3.3 on an iMac G4)
Toolbar problems
I sent this in an email to PowerMail a while back, but did not send it through the discussions list. I find the same problem persists in the latest beta and so send it again, but this time the proper way. I don't see that anyone on the list has brought this up. I use Recent Mail regularly. I leave it open at the bottom of the screen ordinarily. When this window is open in a larger size and I click on the green button to change size back to the smaller size it expands sending the toolbar to the top of the screen hiding the top of it behind the PowerMail menu bar. It is not possible then to click the green button (or red or yellow buttons) or place the cursor on the top margin to drag it down. I have to click the Zoom Window to retrieve the Recent Mail toolbar and then drag the window down. Hitting the Command and W will shrink the window back to the bottom of the screen, but not being able to do this with the mouse seems to be a bug. I have to add that sometimes this does not happen!! Or, am I doing something wrong? I did not encounter this with the pre- beta versions of PowerMail. Dan (Running OS 10.3.3 on a G4)
