Greetings - hopefully this is an appropriate place for this question.

I've just installed Netscape 6.2.1 as I was starting to have problems 
with 4.73 (I may post details of the problem if anyone's interested as 
it was a strange one - to do with the prog taking _ages_ to process a 
downloaded email for the first time, or move it into the trash, 
otherwise working fine).

Anyway - I want to know where Netscape 6.2.1 stores it's mail & 
newsgroup messages so I can be sure I'm taking backups of them. ver 4.73 
stored them in C:/Program Files/Netscape/Users/[profilename]
After removing ver 4.73 & installing ver 6.2.1 I now have

C:/Program Files/Netscape/Netscape6

which doesn't appear to contain any profile-specific directories

C:/Program Files/Netscape/Users/[profilename]

still exists.

Upon running Netscape 6.2.1 I'm prompted to select a profile from a list 
of my ver 4.73 profiles. I select one and am asked if I want to convert 
from a ver 4 profile to ver 6. I'm informed this will not alter my ver 4 
profiles. Confirming I want to convert I can then access my profiles 
fine. No problems. C:/Program Files/Netscape/Netscape6 still appears to 
contain no profile-specific files subsequent to this action.

So.....

does C:/Program Files/Netscape/Users still contain the ver 4.73 profiles 
(files within do not appear to have been modified since the upgrade & 
subsequent mail actions, but have been accessed)

where is ver 6.2.1 mail & newsgroup profile info stored so I can ensure 
I am backing them up?

Thanks in advance

Chris
