I think, this is also true for the file format. So, look out for this difference when choosing your converter.

It works on Linux (which is my platform), so you might have luck and it runs on a Mac OS X console. I don't remember the name, mostly because there were several derivations of it and many had tivial names like oe2mailbox or similar. freshmeat <http://freshmeat.net> or SourceForge <http://www.sf.net> might help you finding them. Mozilla and Netscape 4.x both use the same standard format, called (BSD-style) "mailbox". Ignore the msf files of Mozilla. >The simplest method is to create/get an account on an IMAP server (eg, >mac.com) and copy all your mail over IMAP.
