Hello everyone,
This is my first post to this discussion group and I have done my
best to search for whether my problem has already been discussed. My
apologies if Ive missed it.
Suddenly one day with no warning, Power Mail 5.5.2 would download a
couple of messages and then crash with the The application Power
Mail has unexpectedly quit... message. This happens now every time I
try to retrieve mail. Ive tried all of the usual techniques:
upgraded to 5.5.3, trashed prefs, run fsck -y, repaired permissions,
everything Im aware of. I can provide the crash log if anyone
requests it. There was no new software installed, no new anything to
change the configuration of the machine. All other software is
functioning perfectly. It is inexplicable.
I tried writing to CTM but there was, of course, no response.
My Mac:
Mac Book Pro, 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo
2GB RAM
OS 10.4.8
POP mail account
No Safari beta
This is very disappointing because Ive been forced to begin using
Apples Mail which I rather dislike. I began using Power Mail because
it was very close to Claris Emailer which I loved.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance! John

Do you have webmail access to the account? Via webmail or even another
mail program, clear off a few messages (delete or move to a subfolder),
then retry PowerMail. I've had a few crashers in the past... the usual
suspects. :)
If you can already launch PowerMail and view your messages (as it seems
from your post), then try and take a look at the most recent message you
downloaded. Then you have idea of what offending message to target.
"In the unlikely event of..." database problems, emergency recovery for
PowerMail is holding down command and option keys when you launch the
program. You get a list of options, though I don't think you need that
just yet. Good luck.
Maybe forward that crasher to CTMDev before deleting so they can figure
out how to fix it! >:)
Chris
