Rene Merz suggested: >It's not at all! The "database" has his own proprietary format of PM. The "database" for the typical use is all of the email messages and the folders containing them, not the database format itself. Would the typical user be led to believe that the features of the PM database format is lost when export to say, Unix box format, and it was possible to select other formats after having selected to export all of the database? I think not. Are there any features of the PM DB-format, except being able to keep metadata for future import to another version of PM, that is worth even contemplating?
I think the current interface for the export is more bewildering for non- technical users, than if PM would regard export of the database as "the complete selection of the folders and messages". /MB Technoids: PM 6.0.5 build 4621 sv | OS X 10.5.8 | PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0 | 4GB / 1.5TB MB Technoids: PM 6.0.5 build 4621 sv | OS X 10.5.8 | PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0 | 4GB / 1.5TB
