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...

Thanks in advance,

Bayard
