Hi Mikael,
As for your problem, Jim, I wonder if much of yor email is HTML-based?
Perhaps that affects speed negatively.
I also have a very large database, but no, the bulk of the email is not
html based. What I appear to have in common with others who experience
slowdowns is that I am running
I have 192 299 messages currently in my PowerMail DB and I experience no
slowdown in 3-pane view, though mostly I read from an opened message of
the recent messages window. Saving a message sometimes take far too long,
like 10 seconds or so.
I compact my DB like once a month, going from 1.8GB to
hi Steve,
You can save an Automator action as an iCal event:
Create your action in automator
Choose save as plugin...
Select 'iCal alarm' from the pop-up
now iCal opens and you can set the date and time (and if needed:
recurrent) that you want to perform your action
It is lot of fun to play

I have posted this 2-3 times. In my case, PM slows down after using
momery/cpu intensive app such as sample player or DSP application. As
soon as I quit these app, I need to restart PM to get its performance back.

No one else seen this? This is 100% reproducible on my AlBook1.5/1GB/

Also, I don't know what you have the activate in there for.
Because he wants to do quit and re-launch.
Err... right. Duh, oops. :)

The idea I think is to do a reboot, thus the quit, then activate lines.
However, you might want to put a delay in it.
quit
delay 30
activate
This will delay the reboot 30 seconds.
Ben, the issue with PowerMail and version seems to be unique to some builds of
PowerMail. I've seen them put

Hi Wayne,
I will offer this up though. I have found that using a combination of
cron and AppleScript tended to work better at automating tasks than just
cron or AS alone.
So, should I set up a cron to execute this script in the middle of the night?
tell application PowerMail 5.2.1
Darn, you beat me to it. ;-)

I am completely and utterly green with applescript, but here is my guess:
tell application PowerMail
quit
end tell
Does that do it?
