That doesn't seem to help. The messages aren't displayed after "Rebuild"
Has anyone managed to export messages from PowerMail to Apple Mail?

PowerMail 6 can export directly to Mail 3.x.
With PowerMail 5, export to the unix mailbox format, then import in
Mail.app from mbox files

Version 6.0.1b1 should be more stable. It can't be downloaded from our
web site, but you can check for updates using PM 6.0. Any feedback
regarding crashes is welcome.

"I've been using Powermail for around 3 years now and find that it's
extremely stable. The interface is clear and intuitive and not cluttered
like other programs (Apple Mail and Eudora, e.g.). Filters work well,
and it does all that one would expect from an email client. The program
is robust and straightforward. It's a great application."

I've just realised that I haven't thanked the CTM folks for fixing that
annoyance where PM would try to connect before the network connection was up.
It's a trivial thing, but makes an enormous improvement to my daily
experience of using PM.
So thanks, CTM!

OK, so I guess the problem is that PowerMail 5 exports to Mail 2.x.

What I actually did was to export to "Mac OS X Mail" format (rather than
"Unix" format). Importing these into Apple Mail 3 has solved the problem
- thanks!
