PMMail (slash) 2 FAQ

This is where the questions and answers for PMMail (slash) 2 will go.

Q: I got errors while migrating from an earlier version of PMMail. What do I do?

A: So far, this has always been caused by some error in the file system, that affects the old PMMail mail store. The fix has been to run CHKDSK /F, from a standalone boot, on the drive that contains the old PMMail. Note, that the CHKDSK that may run at boot time, will not always fix these errors, especially on JFS volumes.

Q: Can I install the new PMMail over top of the old PMMail?

A: You can install PMMail 3.0 over top of PMMail that has been installed using WarpIn. You should NOT install over top of a PMMail that has not been installed by WarpIn.

Q: Can I install PMMail to a path that has spaces in it?

A: Yes.

Q: I was using the PMMBogoFilter package, with the old PMMail. After migration, I have, what appears to be, a left over folder, Bogo Spam, in each account. Can I delete that?

A: Yes. It is not automatically deleted to be sure that no messages are lost in migration. The new Classifier (BogoFilter), uses other folders, as defined when you configure it.
