Pull File Menu to Database to Import. Next screen asks for the location of your Emailer application, and your choice of address book, messages, or both. PowerMail demo only allows a limited number of emails. 200, if I remember correctly. So don't even try to import all your CE Emails into the PM Demo. Maybe just 1 folder of a few emails, just to see it work. In my experience, the PowerMail import from Claris Emailer worked (via applescript through OSX/OS9 classic barrier), but not very well for 7 years of heavy CE email usage (no doubt with some db corruption). If you have a lot of email, I would definitely recommend EmailChemy to do the migration- it's a lot better and faster. I'm surprised that CTMDev doesn't offer it as a bundle. Hope this helps. Best, Dave Nathanson Mac Medix Thanks Dave. And yes I do have a lot of e-mail.since 1995 or so. I have ordered Emailchemy. I, too, am about to migrate, with reluctance, from Emailer. I bought it on Guy Kawasaki's recommendation, if that tells you how long I've been using it. I recall there being discussed a limitation on how many messages you could import into or have in your email database with PowerMail. Or maybe it was the size of the database that is the limit. I've searched my archive of powermail-discuss digests, and can find only a reference to a 2 GB limitation on database size. I've gots tens of thousands of messages in Emailer. Are there any other limitations I should know about? I'm about to buy EmailChemy anyway, since that looks like the way to go. If there are limits to what can be imported, I can always go into Emailer and create a truncated version of the Emailer database that cuts off at some point in the past. Or something. Also, does EmailChemy import attachments in a decent fashion? I have been deleting spam from Emailer for quite some time without deleting the attachments, and I'm assuming that orphaned ones will be left behind and the good ones (attached to email that I'm importing) will come along somehow. Do the attachments use up space in the database? Thanks, --Lyle -- Subject: Re: Migration from Claris Emailer From: Barbara Needham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2007 16:03:30 -0700 Lyle D.

There is a 2 gb limit for the powermail database. Reaching this limit can be staved off for a while [assuming one wants to keep all their e-mails] by compacting the database. It is also possible to have your old e-mails in an Old User Environment [by creating a New User Environment .. no new registration needed] and I think the search will include both. -- Barbara Needham -- Subject

Help! using PM 4.2.1, and OS 9.2.2, I received an email from PayPal Visa, which freezes the program when I single-click on it, so that I can't trash it. This outfit has sent me a fraudulent notice every day for six weeks notifying me that my acccount will terminate if i don't resubmit my credit info.

re printer problems: Using MacOS 9.2.2 on two different computers [Powerbook G3 Bronze and a G4], and using two different printers [Canon BJC 55 and Epson 740], I usually can't highlight received mail for copying or to print. However, if I make a reply to sender document, I can do both. Then that can be trashed. So it must be a property of the Powermail 4.1.3 software. Bill Stecher -- End of powermail-discuss Digest
