Thank you for your suggestion. However it didn't work. I copied a
message file (like "INBOX") to the location:
C:\WINDOWS\ApplicationData\Mozilla\Profiles\default\kik4gy6h.slt\Mail\pop.hetnet.nl
which is where all the other mail files are. Netscape did see the file
but because of lack of an index file it read its content as 0 (zero)
messages. It did not generate an index file of its own.
Therefore I repeat my question (phrased somewhat different):
How can I have Metscape 6.2 generate an index file for a file with mail
messages generated by Nescape 4.7?
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
