Re(2): One other wish for PM6
One I would like to se (actually not available in 5.5.3) is the possibility to share the same email address between different contacts in the address book, without having to add one empty space before the copy of an already stored email address.

Re(3): One other wish for PM6
I spent a day or so recently attempting to wean myself off PowerMail. I am so frustrated with its limitations that it really is interfering with my effectiveness. (As far as I can tell, my frustrations with other email clients would be worse, so I stay with PowerMail). But my frustrations are so small, that they could be addressed in a 5.6.6 rev. They are: 1) Index html emails. 2) For emails that do not have a name in the From field, guess the name from the Address Book, and include the guessed name in the index and in the From column. This way when I am looking for emails from Bruce, I don't need to search on Bruce1954yahoo or whatever he was using that year! 3) Don't be so eager to check email. When I wake up my laptop, wait a few seconds before checking and let the wireless connection come up. 4) Give me one error message when you can't get email (because, eg, wireless is down). Don't give me one modal dialog for each account! Even better, use Growl. 5) Stop random crashes. OK, granted, 5 is not necessarily an easy fix--but the other 4 should be 2 days' work, or less!

In such a case my PM sends _all_ other messages from all _other_ accounts. It seems that your problem has nothing to do with a possible down of your VPN server but with a down of your general _internet_-connection. In such a case, of course, PM cannot send any mail to anywhere. Full internet access the whole time. Ethernet to a T1 line. Web browsing works, fetching email works.

Ethernet to a T1 line. Web browsing works, fetching email works. Bob Ok, Rene gave me a clue. I have my send and receive set to do one account at a time. In the schedulings dialog, the SMTP has all options checked.. immediately when queued, when retrieving and before quitting. With the VPN down, I tried sending a message on a VPN account. After a while it timed out and I got a no server error message. Just like it should. I then tried sending an email from a different account. It went into the out tray, but there was no attempt to send it (based on the status bar on the lower corner of the recent mail window.) Tried again with a different, non VPN account. Again, right into the Out Tray, no error message, nothing showed up on the status bar. If I go into the Out tray, click on either message to a non VPN account, click send.. nothing. If I click on the message to the VPN account it tries again, and of course times out. In all cases, I had full internet access, and access to the non VPN mail servers. I could retrieve mail just fine, and it works fine on the scheduled retrieve connections. If I delete the stalled VPN message from the Out Tray, the other two messages send immediately. If I go check send simultaneously in Mail Schedulings, then it works fine, and the stalled VPN message does not block other accounts. There are times when I am traveling that I have slow, high latency net connections, and things really slow down with multiple simultaneous connections, so I prefer to do one account at a time. BUT, I think it is still wrong to block all accounts when one account has a sending error, and its still wrong to not notify the user when the program cannot do an action that was specifically requested i.e. send an email when the user says to send it.

I'd like to see similar changes, too - these are definite annoyances.

In this case the subject is filled with No subject and this is imho the correct behaviour. Maybe an incoming mailfilter could do the rewrite according everyones wishes. 3) Don't be so eager to check email. When I wake up my laptop, wait a few seconds before checking and let the wireless connection come up. yes, this might also cure one kind of crash I rarely observe. 4) Give me one error message when you can't get email (because, eg, wireless is down). Don't give me one modal dialog for each account! Even better, use Growl. you can switch the dialog off in the preferences. Growl sounds like a good idea. 5) Stop random crashes. I don't see any random crashes. Crashes I observe are either connected to the IP stack, which stops responding after the MacBook was asleep or to text encodings in connection with a strange html mail.
