Re: Review of Power Mail

Hey, Michael -- if it works for you, that's fine -- it's good that you're happy with it! But all I can say is that it didn't work so reliably for me. Even after trying all three different preference settings, I seemed to be constantly second-guessing the format of incoming mail, and devising

More and more e-mail is in html format. Hardcore PowerMail users say they don't want to be bothered with this mail, that most of it is spam anyway, but that's not true in my community. When html mail arrives, PowerMail wants you to make a choice... open your web browser to read it, download

Migration Problems

2007-10-11 Thread Bill Lane
In the course of migrating to a new computer, my Powermail seems to have forgotten where to look for my Account Settings, Mail and Address book database. I've tried importing this information, using FileDatabaseImport and going to the User/Mail/Powermail files folder but I must be importing

Yes, like Fin and Wayne, I've finally switched over to Thunderbird, for the two reasons that are regularly raised on this list... support for IMAP, and support for html. I would have liked to stay with PowerMail but I must admit, everything seems to move a lot more smoothly in Thunderbird.

I've been watching this discussion with interest. I've been using PowerMail for a while now, and I've recommended it to many people, but I'm gradually making the transition to Thunderbird -- I've got it on my laptop now -- still using PowerMail on my desktop. The two main reasons... 1.
