This page answers some of the more common technical and sales questions about PowerMail.

How can I import messages from Claris Emailer version 2 or Microsoft Outlook Express version 4.x for Mac OS ?

The only Emailer or Outlook Express database access provided to third-party developers is via AppleScript. This method requires a little patience but works well. You need to install Richard Shapiro's Import/Export scripts found here for Emailer or here for Outlook Express.

Once installed, you can apply either one of these scripts to each of your Emailer or Outlook folder; choose the Eudora format for exporting these messages; place all of these files in a single Finder folder and import all of them in one go using PowerMail.

Tip: in order to reduce the number of times you need to run this script, try to move messages around in Emailer or Outlook Express to a smaller number of folders before exporting.
