Ah, I get it - had not paid attention to the full thread. I do understand the issue with the Recent Mail window. How I overcome this limitation is to shut down PM manually after reading my email for the last time on a day - mostly I remember now as I have gotten into the habit, but if not, the s

Hi Marlyse, Actually, I also use a shutdown script. The person who initiated this message was reluctant to shut down PM because they didn't want to lose their Recent Mail Window. Guess it's a choice they'll have to make. Jim >CTM clearly stated in the past to NOT have PM open when doing a back

If I have Powermail open when my backup is run, Powermail address lookup becomes VERY VERY slow. I quit Powermail and it's OK again. If you run Powermail all the time, and peform backups, that could be the problem. Otherwise, it's possible some other program, like virus protection is causing the

Hi all, I'm running the latest PM on the latest OSX. I run a cron job that quits & restarts PM every night, and every week or two I compact and reindex my database. I find that the address book is horribly slow. It will speed up some after compacting or after rebuilding indexes, but it slows d
