Arrival of new MacBook Pro laptop has necessitated what I hope will be
temporary switch to PowerMail until Classic support becomes practical on
MacIntels - or the rewritten Emailer emerges. 

Why PowerMail? It seemed closest in look and feel to Emailer and can be
configured to resemble it. More so than Mail, Entourage and other
clients I looked at briefly. But it still has a few rough edges and is
less intuitive than Emailer, sometimes requiring an additional step, eg
need to run a script in order to change heading of incoming messages.

Importing directly is no more advisable than into Entourage or Mail.
Most reliable method is to get Emailchemy ($25 from weirdkid.com) to
convert Emailer's database into a standard formate that PowerMail (or
any of the other email clients) can import reliably. Even so Emailer's
addressbook didn't come over automatically.

PowerMail seems generally more powerful than the alternatives (excepting
Mailsmith perhaps), less klunky than Entourage (yes, I know they share
an author but MS seems to me to have bestowed their klunk magic upon
it), and more intuitive than Mail. But I am still pining for Emailer and
hope to get back to it in due course.
