I too came from Emailer, and personally had a real nightmare getting to
PowerMail, mostly because my mail database was too big for most tools and
killed them part way through.
The tool that saved the day was Emailchemy from Weird Kid Software <http:
//www.weirdkid.com/>. It's a tool that's designed to read mail out of a
ton of formats (including Emailer) and write it to another ton of
formats. Well, OK, maybe like 5 or 7, but still, they're the ones that
get you where you're going.
Check it out. Given the problems I was having getting the move to go
smoothly, it was *highly* worth the 25 bucks to me. IMO, ctmdev would do
well to include a mention and a link to it on their web site.
