I think the problem with most apps is they use AppleScript to walk
thru the mail database and that is prone to failure. However, there
are a few out there that can read the database natively. I think
those that can do a much better job of handling the mail.
I don't know which way PowerMail does it, but I'd guess they can read
the database directly. I think Rich has indicated that MailSmith
reads it directly. Surprisingly, Entourage and Outlook Express use
the AppleScript approach as far as I know, which I find odd since
both are created by the very same guy that created Emailer's mail
database structure in the first place! Maybe he ran into ethical
issues about using knowledge from one company while working for another.
Emailchemy (I made it to morning), reads Emailer's database directly,
that is one of the reasons it does so well at accessing and
converting all the emai (or so I've heard, I've never actually tried
the app myself).
