Re: mailto body text encoding?
Am 21.10.2005 hat PowerMail Engineering geschrieben: The normal case should be, that the body text is transfered *how_it_is*! And just this is not the case with PM. I have not thoroughly checked the RFCs recently about this point, but I think nothing is specified for encoding non US-ASCII characters in a mailto URL; and non US-ASCII characters in an URL are invalid, as there is no specification of the charset they would use. If PM would respect the mailto URL scheme of RFC 2368 (http://www.rfc- editor.org/rfc/rfc2368.txt) then it would be possible to encode non- ASCII-signs in the mailto-body into hexdec-signs with preceding %-sign. But PM ignores it.
Re: mailto body text encoding?
Would be nice if it would be that easy! But the encoding Über with #220; stops all transfer-flow of the body text just after that encoding; the rest of the mail text remains empty. The reason is obvious: the ampersand-sign () is strictly reserved for the codification of the mailto-string. (See again RFC2368: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2368.txt) No, sorry, it remains a PowerMail-bug! As I mentioned before, Apple Mail can handle incoming diacritic signs it without any problem! (Wayne Brissette wrote:) Well, I learned something today. It's not a FM bug, but nor is it a PowerMail bug. It's a STANDARDS issue. Check out RFC 2368, it seems that you must encode the body= part of the mailto: according to the RFC. My guess is that in the Apple Message Frameworks they are handling this for you, which is why it works in mail.app, but not PowerMail. However if you want to send a character like: Ü or ß, you have to encode it. Thus you end up with: Über = #220;ber weißt = wei#223;t Anyhow, check out the RFC: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2368.html I think you'll find it very enlightening.

Re: Import Failures
Am 6.6.2004 hat [EMAIL PROTECTED] geschrieben: I am finding that I am unable to import large numbers of files in PM5; has anyone attempted this, and if so with what results? What I am trying to do is take some of my older messages and put them in a new user environment (ie, DB) for searching as needed (mainly to get rid of false hits). The steps I took were: 1. Select folders to export 2. Export in PowerMail exchange format 3. Create new DB (user environment) 4. Import: Trying to import an entire folder (top option) results in an error after the first file has been processed. Trying to import the files one at a time causes PM5 to crash after about the 6th file. Also, I thought PM was supposed to export a folder and all of it's subfolders when exporting... but I only get the top folder. Is this correct? If so, it's an oversight that should be corrected. Having to select a few hundred folders individually is a real pain. I guess you're speaking about exporting from PM 4, importing to PM 5? The most easiest way is: Look for the directory PowerMail Files on your harddisk. Usually you'll find it here: user/documents If you're the one and only user of PM on your Mac, place this folder into the PowerMail-program-folder (if there would be an other one with the same name, first delete this one). If there are several users, drag the PowerMail Files-Folder icon on the PowerMail-program-icon, so that PM can learn where this folder is. Now you'll have not only all your mails, but also accounts and filters at your disposition in PM 5
SpamSieve: automatic quit?

The additional benefit of this is that you will named automatically as sender with your mail address of that specific account whenever you reply to a mail which went-in into the concerned account-folder.

Re: Deleting filter doesn't work
MB wrote: When it did-it well, then not during the startprocess of PM but with after starting the mailserver connection procedure. I think what you want is a script that is regularly initiated by Cron (set by the app Cronnix for example) or similar and that checks the content of specific folders, one at a time, and set the folder contents as the selection for processing. The filters are mainly there for incoming messages, Not all of this filters. Because it would not make any sense to have filter-tools which can do an action (put to trash folder f.i.) after an amount of days. Incoming messages do not have any amount of days - they are all of one day only. that by nature are new not old and for manual selection and processing. It's also possible that a script could startup a filter for processing, but I have had difficulties myself giving the filter a set of messages as a selection. So I'd rather do it in the script alone. Anyone know a way on how to feed a filter a set of messages as a selection at will?

Missing open message item
While I had some severe problem with the doubleclick function of all my mouses I detected, that PM has no button or menu item for opening a listed message in its own window - which is default in all other Apple programs. The only way to open a listed message in its own window is by double click this message on the folder list. Of course by enlarging the message-detail window downside of the folder list I found a way to read the message in a adequate way - but the possibility to open a message in his own window should be possible too - by menu item and/or button. This as a suggestion for the next update.

The database has his own proprietary format of PM. Other _databases_ of many other programs have the same problem ... Also, is this distinction documented somewhere and if so, where? See Help, then you will get this (Export): http://www.ctmdev.com/powermail/manual/exporting.html

You cannot save common search features like saving a display of unread mail. There is a recent mail, but that does not display unread mail. (Don't understand this point.) You cannot create an HTML email. Thanks God! HTML mails are for me the most unwanted mail configuration. (But if you have to create-it, you'll find tools outside PM.) Although I have Powermail set to delete emails from the server that I have deleted from PM, it fails to delete them on next connection. Sometimes it retrieves emails and then removes them from the server instead of leaving them on the server as instructed. This is important for me when I travel and need to have copies left on the server to be downloaded when I get home. Maybe you have to change also your configuration on your mail server. Login there and check the settings.

Where I find it not working is mostly in viewing HTML emails that have graphic links or text links. HTML Mails, of course, you should view in an specific way: In the foot strip of the PM window of any HTML mail you see a round blue sign on which you can click (preferable choice of the two possibilities: show the message in the web[or similar in English]) - then also the links work!

Okay, what settings would I check on the server that would prevent PM from deleting read emails? PM itself never delets any mails; it always needs an action (or the activation of a filter) by the user. Concerning the server settings most of them you can set on deleting mails if they are deleted on the mail client (or similar). It means: If you delete mails on PM by your own action then this mails will be deleted on the server too (during next connection).

It is impossible to move any mail from the PM-inbox to somewhere else outside PM. The only way for such an operation is to save a text copy of a mail (menu file save as text); but the original mail remains on PM. But, of course, if you save (= download) it from the mail server (for to save-it in a folder on your computer) then it is labeled for the mail server as read _and_ if it is not the same time on PM it will be deleted by the mail server - logically, because mails which are not in the database of PM look for the mail server like deleted locally.

What I mean is that I have filters that will file incoming business mail from the inbox to a folder named Business in PM. What I'm finding is that some of the messages moved, not deleted, but moved to the folder are NOT appearing or being downloaded when I fire up say Entourage on my desktop. They just disappear from the server. How? Once you work with PM, the other time with Entourage? Sounds crazy ... You cannot work with two different mail programs. Of course you can, but problems are preprogrammed.

Of course you can, but problems are preprogrammed. Come on it isn't that complex. I have a laptop. On the laptop when I am away, I check POP email on my site. I sort the mail as it comes in. I'm testing PM as a replacement for Entourage. When I get home, I fire up my desktop and run Entourage. All the email not manually deleted in PM on the laptop SHOULD remain on the server for download in Entourage. What I found is that some of the messages that should have been left on the server were gone. I don't know how Entourage works, but I guess it's different from PM ... However: Just for such cases (mobile mailing _and_ home/office mailing with the same account) an IMAP4 account should be your method of choice! It's much better and safer then a POP3 account. To understand the big difference have a look at this: http://www1.umn.edu/adcs/guides/email/imapvspop.html http://email.cityu.edu.hk/faq/popimap.htm Helpful for the IMAP installation on PM: http://www.ctmdev.com/powermail/manual/imap.html (http://www.ctmdev.com/powermail/manual/) And finally: You better work with the same mail software on laptop and home pc.

It's much better and safer then a POP3 account. Well, for mobile apps, that makes sense I guess. But for the home office, I don't want to store mail on the server and have it set to delete it after 30 days. Having a local copy and a searchable database of emails is part of my workflow. Otherwise with IMAP I have to leave it disorganized online or I have to duplicate my folder structure on the server. That is a pain and a duplication of my efforts. Not efficient or helpful. Well, unteachable people should stop whine about home-made problems ...
