Re: AppleMail compatible problem
Jérôme, Just to make sure you understand the issue here. Some of the messages from AppleMail let PM have globe icon so I can see the embedded images as supposed to be. The others don't give the globe icon and gives bogus HTML files instead. What puzzling is their header looks identical. I don't see anything particularly different. I wish I can show you the messages but I am under a heavy NDA. If I try this by myself, it all broken so I can't have a sample of successful one. -- - Hiro [PROTECTED] <[PROTECTED]> <[PROTECTED]>
very slow address book
Hi all, I'm running the latest PM on the latest OSX. I run a cron job that quits & restarts PM every night, and every week or two I compact and reindex my database. I find that the address book is horribly slow. It will speed up some after compacting or after rebuilding indexes, but it slows down again quickly. I have 1252 addresses in the address book. Today, when I type the letters 'smit' in the search field, it takes about 8 seconds to narrow the list down to meet the criteria. Are others experiencing this as well?

This is probably the consequence of two problems: - PowerMail only displays simple HTML messages, that is, messages composed of a single HTML part (with or without embedded images) - The sender sends messages composed of multiple HTML parts, or mixing HTML and plain text parts. This is maybe the result of a plain text reply message quoting some HTML messages, or vice-versa. The result is that PowerMail handles multiple HTML parts as attachments, and embedded images are also handled as attachments. Jérôme - PowerMail Engineering - "I'm using Powermail for years now. I tried every other Mail app available, including Mailsmith, Apple Mail, Entourage and Eudora. Although these apps aren't bad, no one has the functionality of Powermail that I need. Searching and filtering also is excellent. I LOVE IT (and because this is a program I use every ten minutes to fetch my mail I would have even paid more for the update...)"

The possible PM bug here is that PM is displaying globe icon inconsistently despite the fact all the messages are: Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="=" Why some of them get globe icon and others don't? I think this is the hart of the issue. -- - Hiro [PROTECTED] <[PROTECTED]> <[PROTECTED]>
Re: AppleMail compatible problem
If you download the email via POP into PowerMail, while the PM settings are set to not delete files from server, then you can download the exact same message into Apple Mail. This may help prove that the exact same message is displaying differently in the 2 applications. (Don't forget to change the PM setting back to delete from server after collecting the pop mail.)

I think. It didn't work, but I found the workaround. PM exports as "mbox", and you have to change the file name to .mbox in order for AppleMail to be able to import. And you were right. The imported message showed up as broken, two bogus HTML attachments besides the image file attachment just as PM received. It seems to be a PM issue.

But sometimes when I have opened a message in PM and then downloaded into Apple mail it doesn't work. But to do what you are doing, you put the exported mbox file in your ~/ library/mail/mailboxes folder and when you open apple mail it will be there. I think. -- Barbara Needham

2nd-order groups & transfering sig files
I've just transferred my addressbook and email folders from Entourage X to Powermail 5.2.3, and would appreciate help with 2 questions. First, in my Entourage addressbook, some of my groups are made up of other groups. However, when I transferred to Powermail, any groups composed solely of other groups showed up empty (i.e., if group X is made up solely of group A and group B, group X showed up empty). Does PowerMail support 2nd-order groups in the addressbook, and if so, how can I create them? Second, I have been unable to find any AppleScript or other way to automate transferring my sig files from Entourage to PowerMail. Does anyone know of a good strategy for making the transfer (rather than transferring each one individually by hand)? Thanks for your help with this. Ken
