My PM address book has gradually slowed down to the point where it is
not usable for addressing messages (auto-filling the recipients box). I
have been able to "fix" the problem temporarily by clearing caches but
within a short time the slowness returns.
I've tried various combinations of synch with the Mac Address Book
without success.
Anyone have this problem - any solutions? Any ideas?
Thanks.

try choosing a shorter period for the address book cache under
preferences, like instead of 30 days, just 10 days.
If you dn't need this option you can also switch it off.
Thanks and all the best

I assume you have tried the first aid? Command and Option keys held down
while starting up Powermail?

Sometimes a correspondent who is not in my address book changes his/her
email address. Sometimes I enter an address incorrectly. PM remembers
previously used addresses but I'd like to tell it to forget the
erroneous ones so I don't select one in haste.
Is there a way to do that?

Possibly this...
1) Preferences
2) Address Book
3) click on Clear (to the right of 'remember recipients...')

Thanks, Jim.
I'm guessing that Preferences > Address Book > Clear deletes everything
in the address cache. More of a shotgun blast than a rifle shot. I'm
hoping for an "Edit > Address Cache" operation. The mail.app competitor
has something similar:
Window > Previous Recipients
Select the bad ones, click Remove.
