Yes, an export solution may be a workaround. Of course, the whole point of Time Machine, as I understand it, is that it frees the user from having to jump through hoops in order to maintain an up-to-date backup. "Set And Forget". To my mind, "Forget" does not mean "Remember to close down a database application on a regular (hourly?) basis or initiate a convoluted workaround of exports". As far as I can tell, Powermail is still in direct conflict with anything resembling an automated backup (at least with regard to my workflow -- others' mileage may of course vary), simply by dint of the fact that it needs to be shut down before a backup takes place. Superduper can run a script prior to backup that could deal with the shutting down of PM, but it still messes with my Recent Mail-oriented workflow. And Time Machine, AFAIK, has no such facility to shut down apps before activating (I'm still on Tiger so correct me if I'm wrong there).
