I downloaded version 3 and you were right, it does give you the "Migration from Claris Emailer" option. I tried importing and after 19 messages, the application quit. I tried importing again, and the option no longer appeared. I trashe all my powermail applications and preferences ( I think I trashed them all unless there exists something that does not have "powermail" or "pm" in it( and doenloaded version 3 again. I trashed everything again, donloaded version 4 and still no option. The option is no longer there. Hmmm. Any ideas? Mary Lou
