From using eMA (email Message Archiver) for many years, I switched recently to DevonThink OFFICE (it's in beta right now). I've been using DevonThink for several years to store the ton of accumulated stuff, and their new office version has a great email importer (saves all to RTF files) and very good support for PowerMail import.
Searching large database has always been DevonThink's strength and this is now 99% perfect for me. The 1% missing is that attachments will not be imported nor linked, so you need to remember to remove them manually from PowerMail Attachment folder before trashing archived messages. And yeah, there are no links in the email which tell you which file was attached (oddly enough I have seen some iCal attachments make it through). I don't know if they will add some virtual linking or such in later versions. ---marlyse ------------ former message(s) quotes: ------------- >>Since the 2 gig database limit is going to remain, I need to start >>either looking at multiple-database operation, or looking for a new >>mail client.
