Several folks have posted requests for how to move back from Netscape
6.*/Mozilla to Outlook.

I had started working on an import tool to perform this conversion directly.

I discovered, however, that if you highlight 8 emails at a time in Netscape
6.*/Mozilla mail client, right click and select forward as attachments, and
then send them to your email, and then use Outlook Express 5 (at least) to
receive that email, all of the messages are now .eml attachments that you
can save to your hard drive and then drag from Windows Explorer into a
folder in Outlook Express. Optionally, you can open each attachment in turn
and use the Move to Folder... command to move the message to a folder. This
maintains who it was sent to, who sent it, message headers, attachments,
etc.

I tried more than 8 messages at a time, but either Netscape can't send more
than 8 or OE can't receive more than 8 because 8 is all that ever appeared
in OE.

This is tedious, but it does get the job done.

The next logical step, if you ultimately wish to switch to Outlook is to
import from OE into Outlook which is fully supported.

Lynn Pye
