Importing a PowerMail Message Database from My Laptop
Hello, I am trying find a way to consolidate my powermail message databases (one on my desktop, one on my laptop). I have messages in both databases that I do not want to lose, but I want to have them all accessible without switching user environments. Also, there is a bit of overlap for some messages (mostly from high volume developemnt lists), and I would like to avoid doing anything that would cause these overlapping messages to be duplicated in the consolidated message database. Is this possible to achieve? I've tried using the File->Database- >Import... command, but oddly it does not have an option for importing another PowerMail database! I find this very frustrating. Help! Thanks In Advance, Joel Miller

Couldn't you export the first database to Powermail Exchange, then import into your second database? In theory, all of the important characteristics should be preserved, and nothing lost. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
Re(2): Importing a PowerMail Message Database from My Laptop
as you are trying to handle duplicate messages and other stuff, I think to export to FM and clean up duplicate messages there and then export from FM and import into PM. there used to be a script for FM that found/ deleted duplicate entries in a database. what I don't know though is how this back and forth would affect dates (received/modified/sent) of your messages. ---marlyse -- original message(s) follows -- >On 23 10 2003 at 6:52 pm -0400, Joel Miller wrote: > >>Is this possible to achieve?
