I guess you're speaking about exporting from PM 4, importing to PM 5? The most easiest way is: Look for the directory "PowerMail Files" on your harddisk. Usually you'll find it here: user/documents If you're the one and only user of PM on your Mac, place this folder into the "PowerMail"-program-folder (if there would be an other one with the same name, first delete this one). If there are several users, drag the "PowerMail Files"-Folder icon on the "PowerMail"-program-icon, so that PM can learn where this folder is. Now you'll have not only all your mails, but also accounts and filters at your disposition in PM 5
