I downloaded the 30 day trial of PowerMail. I successfully imported
addresses but I am confused about importing messages.
The manual states"
1. Using PowerMail's Apple Event based direct import facility: This the
most obvious method to import messages: the PowerMail team spent over
five weeks writing and tuning this code; Select Import in the File /
Database submenu, then choose "Migration from Claris Emailer". Click the
right arrow button, and select your Emailer application. Unlike other
import methods, you will not be prompted to select a file to import but a
Claris Emailer application instead that will be used to extract the data.
PowerMail attempts to locate this application automatically, but you may
have to select it yourself if you have more than one copy installed. Be
sure to select a copy of Emailer version 2.0v3 and not version 1.1, since
the latter is unable to export. When this is done, click the "Go Ahead"
button."
I do not see the "Migration from Claris Emailer" option in the pop up
menu. Why not?

if memory serves me right, this option was abandoned with v5.
So you might want to try v4 or 3, which imho still can be downloaded.
Once you created your PowerMail database you can update to the current
version.
Thanks and all the best

Version 4 is a Carbon application, which will run under Mac OS X...

I downloaded version 3 and you were right, it does give you the
"Migration from Claris Emailer" option. I tried importing and after 19
messages, the application quit. I tried importing again, and the option
no longer appeared. I trashe all my powermail applications and
preferences ( I think I trashed them all unless there exists something
that does not have "powermail" or "pm" in it( and doenloaded version 3
again. I trashed everything again, donloaded version 4 and still no
option. The option is no longer there. Hmmm. Any ideas?

Hi Mary Lou,
>Hmmm. Any ideas?
I don't remember the details (it was quite a while ago) but I too had a
lot of difficulty moving my large eMailer database into PowerMail. I
ended up purchasing a 3rd party utility and it worked very well:

I ordered it a few days ago as it was also recommended by Claris Emailer
veterans now tasked with leaving Claris Emailer and Classic to migrate to
Intel machines.
Thanks Jim.
