I don't believe there are currently any tools that read the raw database from Emailer. If I'm not mistaken, all of them extract the email using Applescripts. I see no reason why you can't write an applescript to do the same to move the mail to 4D (assuming 4D supports Applescript... if not, grab the free Filemaker archiving tool, move them all to Filemaker, and then export them from filemaker in some format 4D can read) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
