I was getting the same problem with mine. I have a G4 Power PC that has
an upgraded processor. I did this so i could run Leopard.
When i got 6.0.6b1 in the mail i made a copy of the program i was
getting the errors with and saved a copy of the data base. I then loaded
the 6.0.6b1 and tried it on the original daa base and i did not get the
errors again. seems what inspired me was that this upgrade was supposed
to help with problems like this.
just a thought

No, unfortunately, PowerMail Salvage does not work for PowerMail 6 databases.
You can try to create a new PowerMail User Environment (from the file /
database menu), quit PowerMail, then copy your old "Message Database"
file to this new folder, in the hope that the corrupted file was one of
the other ones (address database etc).
If that does not work, I don't see anything else you can try.
Note that if your POP settings are to leave messages on the server for
at least a few days or weeks, you should be able to re-download messages
received after your last backup.

So I guess the answer is "no". Well, I am pretty used to the quirks and
limits of PM 5 by now.
Also, I would be interested in a PM/FoxTrot offer as discussed recently
as a work-around for the 2 GB database limit.

Hi Jérôme,
the 6.0.6b2 update died when it started ("Install and relaunch"). It
said my PMkey file was invalid.
I started again and it seems to be OK.
