   This is inevitable when someone tries a rewrite of a software which other 
people have created - you fix something with the hands and are bound to break 
something else with your behind... 

   So these Betas are real Betas, i.e. you are supposed not to expect a 
completely worry-free and tested software. But I think that Peter Nielsen did 
get things under control and fixed problems he created.

   This is not necessary since the messages are stored in the format they did 
come over the wire, every message in a file by itself.

   Is possible today. 

   If you do not want to export the whole database, you can use my little 
utility to extract single address books which you can find on 
http://freesoft.willms-edv.de. Beware that it only extracts the book in the 
PMMail address book format, and does (not yet) export it in CSV or other 
formats (I plan to enhance it later, but don't have the time for it at this 
moment in time.

   It is quite full featured; many features are just not noticed. The trouble 
is that the original authors, "Bob and Icon" have sold their twin products to 
two different companies, and that one of them, PMInews, has been given up by 
the company which bought it.
