The "status" header is not a standard one (it is not specified in RFC
2822). I suppose it is used to indicate the status of the message on the
server. It is not set by PowerMail. And mail seems to ignore it when
importing.
PowerMail can preserve the status (amongst other things) when exporting
using the PowerMail Exchange format, but Mail does not import from this
format.
There is a workaround, but it requires using TextWrangler:
- select all the folders and subfolders you want to export in PowerMail
- export "the selected mail folder" (do NOT export "your entire mail
database" as Mail won't import that)
- export them to the "PowerMail Exchange" format (including attachments
if you want)
- in TextWrangler, perform a find and replace regular expression:
Search For: [x] Use Grep
PowerMail Exchange 3\.0\r
Replace With: (leave an empty string here)
[x] Muti-File Search
Select the folder containing the exported mailboxes, then perform
"replace all" and "save to disk".
- perform another find and replace all regular expression on the same folder:
Search For: [x] Use Grep
^PMFlags : \d+ \d+ \d+ (\d+) .*$
Replace With:
X-PM-Status: \1
- in Mail, import from "Other" and select the folder
- create a Mail rule:
If [any] of
[X-PM-Status] [Does not contain] [7]
(note that you must edit the header list to add [X-PM-Status])
Perform:
[Mark as read]
- select all the imported mailboxes
- select all the messages
- apply rules from the Message menu
