SyncPAppX and latest Portable Mail not working

SyncPAppX and latest Portable Mail not working

Posted by Michael Reiner at March 02. 2009

I just purchased and downloaded SynPAppX, but it's not working with the latest version of Portable Mail.

I am using the version of Portable Mail which moves the "Mail" folder outside of the app so that Spotlight can index messages and such.
When I try to use SyncPAppX and I select Portable Mail to sync the preferences to the local drive, it shows the size of preference file as 0B.
I assume this is probably related to the moving of the Mail folder.

Is there an updated version of SyncPAppX to that will work with this version Portable Mail?

Also, as a side question relating to SyncPAppX. Does the entire Mail folder sync to the local drive, or just the preference files?

Thanks for your help.

There is not a version of SyncPAppX compatible with your version of Portable Mail.



You can temporaly move your "Mail" folder where SyncPAppX expected to be. Move or copy "Mail" folder inside Portable Mail.app/Contents/Resources/Library/



Sorry for the inconvenient.



All portable Mail folder is copied on your local drive in ~/Library/Mail and portable com.apple.Mail.plist file is copied on ~/Library/Preferences folder.

This broke the sync made by SyncPAppX.

You can solve it in this way editing this script file as plain text:

Portable Mail.app/Contents/Resources/script

and substitute line 319 (only line 319):

p_userbase="$p_path/Contents/Resources"

with:

p_userbase="$p_path/.."

This mean delete words Contetent/Resources and substitute with two dots.

Like this:

#    p_userbase="$p_path/Contents/Resources"
p_userbase="$p_path/.."

Please do a backup of all your Portable app before make all your editing.
