Use "Setup->Mail scheduling and locations..."

PowerMail's been giving me a problem today: I have it checking a bunch
of different accounts (some on a regular mail server, some on gmail,
some on .mac), and *one* of them won't connect suddenly. It's a gmail
account, not a new one, and I should point out that several other gmail
accounts are connecting just fine right now.

The error message is:

                Connection Error
    Make sure your internet connection is active.

Anyone ever see this before? Could this be a corrupted pref file or something?

Hi Chris,
Click and hold on the 'Connect' icon, and a drop down list of your
accounts will show, the top two items will be 'Connect Again' and 'Connect...'

Select 'Connect...' and check the boxes next to the accounts you want PM
to check.

Cheers

When I double-click my Mail Database, or attempt to "Switch User
Environment..." to it, PowerMail reports "Error -199."

Does anyone know what that means?

this means PM lost the internet connection or it timed out:
- you lost your internet connection temporary, like a bad WLAN connnection
- your router/modem or what ever you use went down for a short
- the IP stack crashed - but then usually PM shows what Germans call the
SAT1 wheel.

in the worst case restart everything, but then you should be fine again.


Thanks and all the best

Thanks Graham.  I appreciate I can do this but what I was after was
something similar to Outlooks 'Retrieve mail from ALL accounts'.  Even
though scheduling appears to offer the possibility of either
simultaneously or consecutively retrieving from all POP3 accounts, it
doesn't seem to work for me.  Only the default account is checked - the
others must be done individually.  No great hardship, but a setting to
check all at one go would be useful.

cheers,

Chris

go to the schedules dialog
you see there under schedules 3 checkboxe:
connect on startup
connect evert x minustes
....

next to these checkboxes there is a button called account
click on this button and checkk all the account which should be checked.

or menu -> connection -> connect
and then you will get a dialog.
In this dialog you can check all the account to which PM should connect now.

Thanks and all the best

Matthias

Choose "Connect..." from the menu or the toolbar (long click on the
"connect again" button) then check all the accounts. Then, the "connect
again" menu/shortcut/toolbar button will connect to the same accounts.

A resource file seems to be corrupted; it is probably the "User Prefs"
file in your database folder. You can try to restore it from a backup,
or press command-option when launching PowerMail and check the two
checkboxes to reset preferences.

Thanks Matthias.  Obvious when you see it isn't it!  Guess I can be so
dumb at times...  :-)

Thanks Jerome.  I really should have spotted it, given the length of
time I've been using PM...

We've all been there Chris; if it's any consolation, I just bought a new
(ish) car and, the first time I came to put fuel in it, I spent 15
minutes trying to work out how to unlock the petrol cap. I even had to
call the dealer.
