Failue to send

[Sherman Wilcox]

I'm trying to send a message to a colleague and PowerMail reports
"Failed" (I've never seen this message before on outgoing messages).

The address is (I've stripped off the username): <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Does anyone know why this won't even go out? It doesn't bounce -- it just
fails to get sent at all.

I'm no expert here, but I think this doesn't get it either. If someone
changes the subject line in their reply to a message, Mail will not
consider it part of the same thread. But it is. True threading would
capture this fact.

My solution to this is an Applescript that adds "[T]" to the end of the
subject line. I also have an outgoing filter that looks for subject lines
that end in [T] and transfers them to the Mail Trash.

There are various ways of then automating this. I use this method mostly
in replies, so I have the Applescript in a multi-step iKey macro that
changes the subject line and then starts a reply. But if you want to add
this to new messages you could, and then they would be put in the trash
instead of getting filed.

Exporting

[Sherman Wilcox]

A couple of question about exporting and archiving:

(1) Sometimes the PM (5.0 beta 18) Export Assistant lets me select
"Include Attachments" when I export using Tabulated Text, sometimes it
doesn't. Is this a bug? Am I supposed to be able to export attachments
when doing tabulated text?

(2) What I'd really like to be able to do is "clone" my current PM
database: that is, retain a full database for archive purposes, but start
with a new database which has exactly the same folder structure (with
empty folders) as my previous database. I've seen people suggest using
the Switch User Environment for the purpose of archiving. This is fine,
except of course a new environment doesn't have the same folder
structure. Is there some way to do this?

(3) If #2 isn't possible, does someone have a good FileMaker database
structure that you'd be willing to share? Is there any way to get
messages exported from PM into a FileMaker database and retain attachments?

Thanks in advance,

I still don't see why it won't work. My In Tray doesn't display the To
column (because, as you say, I know that it came to me), only the From
column. My folders that save sent messages include the To column and not
the From.

In those folders that I store both incoming and outgoing messages, I
usually display the From column. This lets me easily see if it's an
incoming or outgoing message (although I also use the icons in the far
left column). I don't have any folders that display BOTH the To and From
columns.

I'm on a PowerBook, so not a huge amount of screen real estate, and this
works for me. Whichever folder is open, I can see the info I need,
whether that is the To or From, account, spam rating (once a message gets
past my In Tray by means of filters, I don't display the spam rating, so
this means I only display the Spam Rating column in the In Tray, the
Recent Mail browser, and the Spam folder), etc.

And yet again I agree. I really want FKA to be turned on. But in the

I certainly hope this and the hiding/focus issue with VirtualDesktop,

PM4 get addressed.

As for your joke: I once had a severe shoulder pain for a month or so,

I used Mail for several weeks after Panther came out. It's good. I
appreciate the IMAP support and the HTML rendering (although I prefer not
to receive HTML mail, it's sort of becoming a fact of life).

But PM the email client for me for several reasons: (1) the integrity of
the database, (2) the incredible searching speed (PM is the only email
app I've where I actually don't mind searching for messages -- usually
the searches in other clients are so slow that I just do it by hand,
trying to remember senders or dates), (3) the filtering system meets all
my needs and PM 5 improves on that, (4) I absolutely LOVE the Recent Mail
browser: everything gets files by filters, yet everything is visible when
it comes in (if I want it to be), (5) SpamSieve meets all my spam
blocking needs, and it is now even better integrated.

The few things I'd like to see improved from my standpoint are better
IMAP support, a more efficient way to file messages by hand (better than
the current popup menu), and true threading (not Mail's idea of threading).

Filters to the rescue

PowerMail filters to the rescue! 

I like to live in the Recent Mail browser so I can see new messages even
though they've been distributed into folders by my filters. With the
recent increase in PowerMail Discussion traffic, my Recent Mail browser
is full of these messages, making it difficult to see my work messages
this morning.

So... PM 5 now (I think PM 4 didn't let me if I'm correct, but maybe I
just never noticed it) turn off displaying new messages in the Recent Mail. 

Neat!

Same here, almost. I have at home and office: (1) Macally Ice keyboard,

Re: Wishlist : auto trashed messages deletion

You see, I fall on the other side of this. My workflow is to decide

On the other hand, I do like the option of leaving on server and deleting
from server when something is deleted from the local trash. Of course,
having both options is even better!!

On the other hand, improved IMAP support could take care of some this,
perhaps.

I wish PowerMail had true threading of messages (not like the semi-

I agree with Andy!

I've been entirely happy with the versatility of PowerMail and its
Applescript ability. I was blown away with the speed of its FoxTrot
search technology. It really puts the email experience in a different
realm when you know you can easily search through tens of thousands of
messages and find exactly the message you want in the blink of an eye.
Literally! I just switched to a PowerBook 1.25 GHz, and search the body
of messages for multiple words happens faster than I can time it. I also
love that PowerMail then helps me find the text in the message by
highlighting the search words.

I'm a filter user -- I want as much of my mail as possible filtered into
folders for me, so that all I have to do is read them. Most other email
clients make filtering possible, but none of them make it easy to then
read these messages, because they're buried. PowerMail's Recent Mail
browser is a godsend. I now live in the Recent Mail browser (although I
do wish I could selectively remove messages from the recent mail list,
not just all of them). I've shown this feature to colleagues and they are
amazed at how this one simple feature removes so much of the drudgery of
keeping up with email.

Ah! I can see that, yes.

My solution to saving sent messages was to create a new folder called
"Sent Messages." Then in Preferences, General, I configured PowerMail to
save sent messages in this folder.

I added some minor tweaking of this: some sent messages have their own
outgoing filters that save the sent message to the same folder that
incoming messages get saved to. I reserve this for important
correspondence where I want the incoming and outgoing messages in the
same folder.

I've also added a minor other twist that fits my needs nicely. There are
some outgoing messages that are just too trivial for me to even safe at
all (like messages with friends, where the entire message may be nothing
more than "Yes"). Since these outgoing messages are typically (for me)
responses, I've created an Applescript that adds "[T]" to the end of a
message's existing subject line.

I then did two things: 

(1) Created a QuicKey shortcut that (a) runs this script, and (b) types
Command-R, so that I get a reply with the modified subject line. I then
type my message and send it. [If you don't have QuicKeys, the very nice
utility called Butler can also run scripts, and you can assign shortcuts
to them, and Butler is very reasonably priced] 

(2) I created an outgoing filter that looks for "[T]" at the end of the
subject line. It moves those messages directly to the trash.

I don't quite understand this. Why would you want to filter an unsent
draft? And once it *is* sent, the filtering process does catch it --
right? I think this is true -- I'm pretty sure drafts that I have saved
and then sent get properly filtered by my outgoing filters.

Best feature/feature request

[Sherman Wilcox]

The best feature of PowerMail, in my daily use, is the Recent Mail
browser. It is so handy having all my messages filtered to their proper
folders, but still visible in one place.

What would make this even better, though, would be a fast and efficient
way -- preferably with a keystroke -- to pop up a list of folders from
within the Recent Mail browser so I could file those messages that aren't
caught by my filters.

I realize I can do this by opening the message in its own window and
using the "File In" popup. I just wish this popup were available in the
Recent Mail window, and/or could be activated by keystroke.

Aha! I hadn't noticed them. Thanks!

Yikes, I use a PowerBook and almost never quit some apps. My email
application is one of those.

That works for messages with labels applied to them, but not for those
with no label: they still have highlight *only* on the subject field. No
big thing, just feels weird to click on another part of a message line
(on the from, for example), and not have it highlight, but the Subject
field does -- I'm never quite sure if I've selected the message or not.

Questions

[Sherman Wilcox]

A couple of questions:

(1) what counts as "recent" in the Recent Mail browser?
(2) is there any way to have PM highlight an entire line in message
lists, rather than just the subject

This was fun, probably useful. I used Tinker Tool System to do it all.

But it made no difference in PowerMail: disk is still getting 
constantly hit, and Activity Monitor reports PM CPU activity at 50%.

I should say that my 30-day demo period expired and I'm now just 
testing out speed with imported mailboxes, etc. Could the expired demo 
be causing this?

High CPU use even when idle

[Sherman Wilcox]

I have been trying the demo of PowerMail and was about to buy it. 
However, it has recently started exhibiting very high CPU usage (>50%), 
even when idle. I've started with a clean install of PM and a clean 
(empty!) database, and it still does this. There is also quite a lot of 
disk activity.

Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated.
