OK, I'll confess - for the last couple of years, I've been using Windows NT to dial in to my local ISP and get (and manage) my e-mail. I had a hiccup on the NT system and I've also purchased the SuSE 7.1 Professional kit and I'm getting ready to migrate to Linux full-time. (I'll worry about reading the .doc and .ppt files that accumulate at work that I sometimes have to bring home, later on...). BUT, I notice that the Netscape Mail files for my mail under NT are very different from the structure in $HOME/nsmail under Linux (and, I might add, under Tru64 here at work). In both instances, I'll be using POP3 protocol, because that's what the ISP offers (no IMAP). Has anyone in the group done such a migration? It appears that I can't simply copy the files - I suspect (but haven't confirmed yet) that I'll have to do some sort of file conversion. I have about 75MB of mail that I'll be processing...
