Hi Mary Lou,
I am using the current version of PowerMail 5.5.3 and it DOES still have
an "Import from Claris Emailer" feature. 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

Thanks Dave. And yes I do have a lot of e-mail.....since 1995 or so. I
have ordered Emailchemy.
