Priority Mail Label Concept
Hello PowerMail Discussions List There is an addon for Thunderbird that takes the normal "Mail Label Priority" marking and turns it into high lighting the whole message line. I'm not good at writing Apple Scripts but wonder if some one who is could write a script that would make PowerMail message marking more easily identifiable than they are now when only the text is colored. Thanks for listening ... Bill ps: I have a .png file called messagehilite.png that shows an an example and will email it to anyone who is interested.

For back-ups I have 2 independent firewire drives and an iMac (2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo with 1 Gig memory). At least once a day I clone my main computer to all 3 back-ups using SuperDuper (version 2.1.4). This has always worked well. If something goes wrong with my main computer or if something goes wrong with my PM, I just clone one of the back-ups back to my main computer and continue working or if my main computer won't run, I switch to the iMac until I can get the main computer fixed and then clone the iMac back to my main computer. The back-up PM has always worked well until the last few days. Everything else on the back-ups works well except PM, which quits within seconds of my opening it with the message "The application PowerMail quit unexpectedly." The PM on my main computer continues to work fine. I've tried re-cloning and running both Disk Utility and Disk Warrior on all 3 back-ups, but none will work whether I try it from the iMac of whether I run my laptop off the independent disks. Again, the other applications on the back-ups work fine. I've tried each of the following: compacting the database, rebuilding the sort indices, and a low level database rebuild. For the life of me, I just cannot imagine why none of the PMs on the cloned back-ups will work, whether it is on the iMac or whether I use one of the independent firewire drives as the start-up disk on my main computer. And yet, all the other applications on the back-ups work and the back-up PM will not work when it is on a firewire drive used as a start-up drive for my main computer. Any ideas? Thanks, as always, for your help with this.

Not reallybasically I'm doing the same here. probably the database was open AND PM was writing to the database, when SuperDuper was reading the database. What you could do, is sending the crashlog to Jérôme or paste the beginning of the log here on the list. It might help to find the reason for your crash.

If you have multiple backups, it is better to have one that you do every
day, and another less frequently... so if something gets corrupted,
deleted, overwritten etc, it is not replicated to all your backups
immediately...

Can you send me the crash log ({home}/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/
PowerMail.crash.log) please?

none of my back-up PMs will start

The back-up PM has always worked well until the last few days.
