Well, I'm avoiding Migration Assistant because I don't want my new Mac

everything off fresh. I know I have some old stuff on my PowerBook;
lingering around even though I haven't used it for years. I've
downloaded stuff that I'd completely forgotten about until I'm looking
for something and find pieces of stuff I thought I'd long ago deleted.
Now begins the wait for the Fedex guy. I took the entire day off, which
means Fedex won't get here until after the time I normally get home.
Hope that you got the computer safely and had fun changing over!
I'd read on the knowledge base about problems transferring Apple's Mail
application so had printed out the directions for doing it "safely."
My husband got the new computer but I had the job of transferring data,
which actually was on a DVD which I'd managed to store his data on
before his old Titanium completely kicked the bucket.
I don't see that you would have any problems with PowerMail.
It still took me a few hours to get everything running smoothly. But it
wasn't hard, just long waiting for all the software updates to download
and iPhoto to convert pics to new format, that sort of thing.
