Yes, really good news. Let's hope this support continues well into the future.

Hello,
I just tried to install PM 6.0.4 and now, I've got a serious problem...
First, I installed it via PM's own software update function.
When PowerMail re-started, it said that it could't be run from a
write-protected volume. Well, of course my hard disk isn't
write-protected...
So I went to the CTM site and downloaded the pm6.dmg.
I opened it, dragged PowerMail to the application folder and got the
same message.
So to be able to continue work, I got PowerMail 6.0.3 back from the
TimeMachine Backup which I ran just prior to installing v6.0.4.
It crashed.
Then, I also retrieved the "PowerMail Files" folder and the
preferences from TimeMachine. PowerMails starts, I can see my usual
windows and messages for a second or two, and then it crashes again.
So, what to do now?
Here's a crashlog:
<http://www.tobiasjung.net/storage/powermail_crashlog.txt>
MacOS X 10.6.2, Mac mini 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
Kind regards,
Tobias Jung

Hoping that someday this message will arrive on the list along with
my previous post (quoted above)...
Meanwhile, after installing 6.0.4 again and fiddling with file
permissions I get
the following message (translated from German) when I try to start PowerMail:
"An error occured
Insufficient permission. Please check the permissions of the Database
and Attachment directory."
This is the content of my "PowerMail Files" directory:

=====================================
I created a new Mac OS X user account to run PowerMail without any
data or preferences... and there, PowerMail starts without any
problems.
So I compared the file permissions there with those above -- they are
the same, except that the group is set to "staff" instead of "tob".
I changed that on the problematic account. Still, no luck.
Oh, and btw, I did run "repair permissions". But as I expected, it didn't help.
And now, I've run out of ideas...
Kind regards,
Tobias Jung

Hello,
This is probably an old question, but has anyone created/modified an
AppleScript for PowerMail to give it the same functionality as Omnifocus-Mail?
I tried to modified the script in OmniFocus, but it apparently is not a
simple Find-and-Replace action.
Thanks!

Sorry, I don't have any explanation for how or why your PowerMail Files
folder might have gotten altered permissions.
Under Tiger, I have occasionally had problems when updating
applications, with a message about insufficient permissions. This was
not simply an issue of User vs Admin privileges, but of the system not
permitting me to drag a new application version into the Applications
folder to replace an old version of the same application, even when
authenticating with an admin password. I have always been able to work
around the problem by dragging the old version of the application to the
Trash, then installing the new version. Doesn't sound like a related
problem, but I thought I would mention it, since you mentioned problems
with the application, as well.
