yeah, see, actually, my first course of action is to follow instructions. and here's where it's gotten me: the release notes say that when i first launch PowerMail it will ask me if i want to create a new database or convert my old one. it didn't. i double-clicked the key (serial number-installing) file and it asked me if i wanted to update PowerMail with the key in it and i said yes and PowerMail launched, but it never asked me about converting my old database. i've tried the Import... function, but that malfunctions twice: first, the Import Assistant presents me with an Open... dialog before it should, evidently, because nothing i navigate to enables the "Choose" button; then, since i can't click "Choose" i click "Cancel", whereupon i'm presented with another panel of the Import Assistant (with which, evidently, i should have been presented before the Open... dialog appeared, because it gives me the choice to import "all e-mail databases from folder..." or "a single e-mail database" (somebody should tell these people the hyphen's outdated) - but when i choose to import "all e-mail databases from folder..." and navigate to either the PowerMail Files folder or the folder within it called "Message Database index", click "Import", and then click "Go Ahead" in the Import Assitant, i immediately see an alert saying, "An error occurred. The import has been interrupted."
let me tell you, so far i'm loving PowerMail.
