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 same side effect I've seen with backup.
I do regular, about once a month, full low level rebuilds, compact etc.
of my mail database -- it's a database and if you value your data,
maintenance is as important as backup....

Before you do that, if you want to spend some time at this [one time] start a
new message and begin the
"to" field with A. Choose any of those that you want to add to your address
book if they don't already have
the address book symbol next to them. Then another new message and B. Then go
to the step Jim
outlined above... it is no different from what he said except you have a
chance to go through and see if
there are any addresses you want to save.

Yes, that's a refinement, thanks.

When you're typing an address, and PowerMail suggests an address from
the cache that you want to delete, you can add it to the adress book
(from the contextual menu) then delete it from the address book (by
clicking the delete button on the contact's toolbar; the contact window
should open automatically if this is not disabled in the preferences).
It will be removed from the cache.

Same here. It's been mentioned on this list on more than one occasion.
In our experience, Powermail becomes generally slow and unresponsive
(not just the address lookup).
We're using Retrospect as our backup program.

Thank you, Jérôme.
It's rather devious, but it works.

Ever since we upgraded from 5.1 last month, we have been getting a
LOT of corrupted attachments.
We do have the PowerMail folder & App on the server so it gets backed
up nightly. I am guessing that the networking of the folder must be
the issue since no one else is having this problem.
Is there anyone running PowerMail off a server install that could
help me figure out why our attachments are being corrupted?
Especially any users that are capable of opening EPS files that I
could send some files to see if your install duplicates the corruption.
FYI: Webmail & (local) Apple Mail work fine. Have already email CTM
Support. Will try testing other networked email apps soon.
Thanks,
Justin Beek

Long time ago, like PM was still v3 and v4, I had PM folder on my Linux
server, and was experiencing the corruption, not only attachment but db
itself so I had to ditch the idea. I was surprised you had been OK till v5.1.

It was 1-2 per week before the upgrade. Now it is 1-2 per day.
We have had a couple of DB issues but that happened about only twice
in 3 years.
Thanks

Somebody mentioned EPS files awhile ago, and I was stricken with
curiosity why a particular filetype would be subject to more corruption
than others.
These things don't have resource forks, do they?

Owing to a computer glitch, I lost about a month's mail. Fortunately
(actually "wisely") I have a backup of the files for the affected period.
What is the best way to restore the missing messages?
Thanks for your help! You have a wonderful resource here.
