AFAIK Netscape keeps its mail in mbox format so the import may generally be as simple as dragging and dropping the mail files from HD/System Folder/Preferences/Netscape Users/username/Mail/ into the Entourage window. I am not familiar with Netscape's encryption capabilities. If it encrypts the whole mailbox then I doubt that the import will succeed. If, on the other hand, it only encrypts individual messages within the mailbox, then you may be able to import the messages that aren't encrypted. Can you go into Netscape and turn of the encryption for the mailbox? -Remo Del Bello -- Cyber bumper sticker: I used to be indecisive.
