As I said I need more disk space to do that, more than three times the size of the mail folder apparently... > Pointing to a Communicator profile could cause corruption. in addition > to .snm files you'll create .msf files as well. There is no telling what > will happen. I just dropped the contents of a _copy_ of the communicator mail folder in a new folder in the the local files. What happened was that each subfolder was converted when it was selected in Netscape Mail & News. This took some time for larger folders. It looked like the folder was receiving mail, what happened was a msf file was created next to the snm file. I gues I can simply trash the snm files now. I have not seen any problems so far.
