Dear discussion group: I'm a former user of Emailer and I recently purchased Powermail. I am very happy with it, on the whole. I use an iMac DV Special Edition, 400 mhz, System 9.2.2, 128 Mb RAM.
I managed to import several thousand of my Emailer messages into Powermail, using the database import feature, "Migration from Claris Emailer (messages and addresses)". This took a LOOOONG time, spread over several nights. It was very messy, because each morning the job was unfinished, and I had to go through my Emailer message folders and manually delete the messages that had already gone to Powermail, so that they wouldn't be imported a second time. I still have several thousand messages in Emailer that I need to import to Powermail. I am looking for a better way to do this. One thing I should mention. All my Claris Emailer files are on a Powerbook 1400 which is connected to the iMac by Ethernet. The Emailer's Mail Database is corrupted, so that I can't copy it as a file, or move it or do anything to it. But I can launch the Emailer program and see all the messages. What I have been doing lately is manually "redirecting" Emailer messages on the Powerbook to my email address so that they arrive in Powermail. But this also is taking forever. I have noticed some instructions for doing this a faster way that involve using Applescript. The instructions call for using scripts. I have never used this feature before. And can't figure out how to use it, either. (I am not a computer person. ) So I was wondering if someone could give me step-by-step instructions for how to get those remaining Emailer messages into Powermail. Thank you for any help you can give me. Riva Freifeld New York, NY USA
