Do it but see that you only have one Emailer Preference file on the computer. You might have one in the Claris Folder in the System Preference folder. If there is none in the Claris Emailer Folder (the copy you are running) transfer the Claris Emailer Preferences file into that folder when Emailer is not running. Now if you want to go to the trouble of keeping the attachment paths it is really quite easy. I assume your Emailer database is located, as normal inside: Claris Emailer Folder -> Claris Emailer Files -> Mail folder. You will have to put the transferred Emailer folder into the same path as it is on your original computer. If necessary, make otherwise empty folders of the same names so that Emailer's new location path LOOKS exactly the same as the old one. You must also rename the Hard Drive to match the original and change it back when you finish, unless there are other email programs, or other programs that use file location paths, being used on that computer. I did this when moving to a new G5, made a new partition for Mac OS 9 and 6 years of attachments work just fine in their new, original looking, location. Making the path look the same is what is necessary for the attachments to work. >Is there a way to import/transfer a block of messages between two >editions of CE? (I'm prepared to sacrifice the enclosure linkages for the >new messages). No, unless you redirect all the temporary emails to your original computer and recollect them and refile them - too much work. Far easier to just transfer the whole lot twice.
