Uuh - just tried it and you are right - however, your PowerMail contact are
actually exported to Apple's Address Book, just literally. Open Address
Book.app and you will find all your contacts nicely imported ;-)
Best wishes,

You left this bit out of your original post, no? :)
I don't bother with Apple's Address book, so I've likely never seen that
behavior.

Hi all:
I assumed that PM would create a file which I then had to import into Apple
Address book which is normal behaviour for this sort of thing. It never
occurred to me that it would automatically do it and AFAICT it doesn't.
I've just checked Apple's Address book and there are no additional contacts!
They aren't there in 'all contacts' neither are they there in a separate group.
I've also tried exporting as tab-delimited, but Address Book won't recognise
the file.
What now?

Apple Address Book (now named "Contacts") manages both your iCloud contacts,
and the local address book (which is where PM exports); make sure to display
groups ("show groups" in the View menu), and check if your PowerMail contacts
have been imported to "On My Mac". If so, you can then copy them to iCloud.

Hi Jérôme,
Thanks for chipping in.
At present I don't put my contacts on iCloud - they're purely on my Mac, so no
"On my Mac" is displayed although other groups are.
