Powermail is very reliable in my experience, though migration do have
minor problems from time to time.
Your problems sound to me like you should export/import the address book
separately or not at all. I did have problems with a large corrupt
address book once and deleting and solved all problems. Doesn't Mail use
Apple's Address book? So keep that and check in the preferences
(Synchronization tab) that PowerMail uses the Apple address book. Don't
activate synchronization now.
You should also make sure that you actually are using the the PowerMail
files folder that you think you'r e using. Change user environment and
choose the one you assume. Also see if it's possible you have multiple
PowerMail files folders.

Thanks to all for the suggestions...you are a very friendly
community...but I switched back to Apple Mail.
I spent a couple of hours and rebuilt my mail preferences and
reimported mail files into mail and now I'm getting faster searching
in Mail than I got in Powermail...the only reason I considered
switching in the first place. The interface advantages of mail
(e.g., smart folders, segregated mailboxes, html mail, consistent
header viewing, etc) are just to much for me to give up in the end.
Best,
Robert
