Hi Jérôme, Thanks for chipping in. At present I don't put my contacts on iCloud - they're purely on my Mac, so no On my Mac is displayed although other groups are.

Export Address Book

Re: Export Address Book
Hi Jim: No nothing. Screen 3, the last one simply offers a choice of export options and the invitation to go ahead. Clicking the latter obviously does something but I've no idea what.

Re: Is there anyway to export the PM Address Book to Apple Mail?
Hi Tobias, Using PowerMail 6.2 Mac OS 10.8.5 Apple Address/Contacts 7.1 Apple Mail 6.6 When I ask PowerMail to synch in the Preferences, it says: Synchronization can only occur after you have imported Apple's Address Book contacts to PowerMail, or exported PowerMail's contacts to Apple's Address Book. OK. I ask it to Export. Select my options. Click Go Ahead. Nothing happens. I ask it to Import, same thing. Nada. And, the area in that preference pane that allows for updating/synching with Apple's Address Book remains grayed out. What am I doing wrong?

It's not merely a question of technical vs non-technical, I think. Rather it is a case of what assumptions should one make and how clear is the documentation regarding those assumptions. Other apps don't require one to make the distinction between all folders in the database and the database when exporting. The export just happens. Any necessary massaging of the data is handled by the export function. The documentation on the website makes no mention of this subtlety either. It only says that one can choose the format of one's choice and that's it. I've written many a user guide in my time on a variety of topics. I know when something is missing and you can bet your bottom dollar (or euro or yen or whatever you use) that somebody somewhere is going to trip on that missing piece of information. Here is the section of the online manual, the very section that Rene pointed out in his mail as well: -- Exporting messages and addresses out of PowerMail to other e-mail clients Exporting the mail database: Select the messages or the folder(s) you want to export (if you want to export a subset of your database), then select the Export item from the File / Database submenu. We recommend exporting your mail as set of Netscape / Mozilla, or Unix mailbox files since these are the most commonly used formats for interchange, and to check the include attachments checbox if you want to also export the files that were attached to sent and received messages. -- Unfortunately, Rene, it does NOT answer the question I had. It should have a sentence that states something like: --- NOTE: In order to export your entire database to a format other than PowerMail Exchange, you MUST select the option for specific folders and then select ALL folders from the list. --- I know that the manual has not always kept up with the times but this example seems more of a glaring omission than others.

Re: Can't Export to other formats
Tim lapin sa såhär: Rather it is a case of what assumptions should one make Yes I do agree, but a technical user may investigate the matter, when the non-technical user is less likely to do so. I develop webapps myself, support Mac users and still I do think lazily like a normal users do. This makes me do better interfaces I think. and how clear is the documentation regarding those assumptions. In PowerMail's case I don't even count on the documentation nor have I looked at it since I started using PM, but for a newcomer the documentation is likely to be vital. /MB Technoids: PM 6.0.5 build 4621 sv | OS X 10.5.8 | PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0 | 4GB / 1.5TB MB Technoids: PM 6.0.5 build 4621 sv | OS X 10.5.8 | PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0 | 4GB / 1.5TB

Bug in export?
Hello, I think I've found a bug in PowerMail's export function. When I choose to export selected files and folders (I'm working with the German version so I don't know if these are the exact words of the English export dialogue), I get prompted to select the export format... here, the trouble is that TWO of the radio buttons, namely Unix Postfach and Eudora are selected. Screenshot: http://www.tobiasjung.net/storage/powermail_export1.jpg Now when I click PowerMail Austauschformat that radio buttons gets selected but the other two are not being deselected: http://www.tobiasjung.net/storage/powermail_export2.jpg And no matter which export format I choose, the results are always the same and look like mbox to me (which is meant by Unix Postfach, I suppose). (And don't get me wrong, I'm not going to leave PowerMail. I realized this when I was thinking of moving a mail folder from one User Environment to another and thought that ex- and importing might be the only way to do this... by the way, IS there a different way?) Can anyone reproduce this behaviour or is it just my system? PowerMail 6.0.3 build 4609, MacOS X 10.6.2, Mac mini 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Kind regards, Tobias Jung

Perhaps it's not actual CSV, but just similar or they have added some small thing.

Windows mail client - import/export to PowerMail
I've had to get a Windows XP laptop for work purposes and I thought it would be useful to set up a mail client so that this machine can act as a backup in emergencies. Does anybody have any opinions on the best Windows mail program for easy import/export to PowerMail? I used to think that Netscape/Mozilla was pretty import/export-friendly, but I've been having problems getting PowerMail to recognize some old mbox files still sitting on my OS 9.2.2 BW that I used to use with WamCom Mozilla 1.3.1, so maybe the format has changed.

Export Eudora from Emailer scriptproblem with replies?
This is an Emailerrelated question, for moving messages to Powermail. Import works fine, but I have problems with the Export Eudora script for Emailer, by R. Shapiro and D. Crevier, that is available in the package Import/Export 3.1 at URL http:// www.fogcity.com/em_utilities2.0.html. It seems to have problems with replies. When I export a folders content and have replies among the selected messages the script exits with The variable senderAddress is not defined or sometimes event couldn't be handled. This seems to not happen if the outgoing message wasn't a reply. I'm not 100% sure this is the case in every folder of course. I tried to debug the script in Script Debugger and found that the script seem to balk at line 144 in the on generateHeaders function: 143 set theRecipients to the recipients of theMessage 144 write To: to outFile --Error occurs on this line for outgoing *replies* 145 my includeRecipients(theRecipients, to recipient, outFile) The funny thing to me is that the variable theRecipients isn't set on line 143. At least it doesn't show up in the variable list in Script Debugger. But also at this point of the scripts execution the sender Address haven't yet been set. This is set at line 148 in the same function: 146 write return to outFile 147 --To set an if statement before the next line in case no senderAddress exists was my first attempt at solving this puzzle 148 set senderAddress to the sender of theMessage I suppose it's possible that the real error occurs some lines before where the script cops out, but I haven't investigated in detail yet and I'm not extremely good at Applescript either. What do guys think? Do you have more reliable ideas on how to export from Emailer to either one of formats Outlook 4 (without using Outlook necessarily), Entourage exported mailbox, Eudora, Unix mailbox, Apple Mail or even Powermail exchange? All of these are listed as importable by PM. I think I read that the Mail format had some limitations at MacEmail. Anyone if this still stands with the newer versions? I'd mcuh prefer to move stuff folder by folder as I have so much. The reason I'm trying to use the Export Eudora script is because I'm migrating to Powermail for a test period. I want to see if it's possible to live with it. The Eudora mailbox format works very fine for importing into Powermail. It's export from Emailer that I have problem with. If I can't solve this I'm taking to a script list, but I thought there's bound be more ex-Emailers on this list, with some ideas.

Address Book Export
Well, PowerMail continues to amaze me. Remember Palm Desktop? Well, I didn't really care about Palm TO PowerMail, only the other way. So I exported the PM address book in text format, and Imported it into Palm Desktop, which gives the opportunity to map fields. If I ever need to go the other way, I expect there'll be a way to do that, too! -- Barbara Needham
Re: Database Export
Dear Christian: this is because only the PM Exchange format supports exporting the DB in one single file. Thanks! I thought it might be something like that. regards, Chris
Re: Database Export
Dear Chris, For the first time I want to export my entire mail database File- Database- export and notice that the only export format available is PowerMail Exchange. All the other buttons are greyed out. this is because only the PM Exchange format supports exporting the DB in one single file. You probably need to export your messages folder-by- folder; select them all and choose the Export all selected folders/ messages option, then you will have more choices. - Christian
Database Export
Hi all, For the first time I want to export my entire mail database File- Database- export and notice that the only export format available is PowerMail Exchange. All the other buttons are greyed out. Is this normal? Since it's the first time I've wanted to do it I don't know if it is, or if I have a problem. Cheers, Chris
