Adam, creating a new account in 6.x is different. Follow these steps: In Netscape click on Edit / Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings then click on the New Account button and set up an account. It won't let you enter the same incoming Mail server as your existing account so put in postoffice.pacbell.net Also, Netscape 6.x keeps the mail folders on the c: drive, but not in the Program Files folder. So follow these steps to identify where the Inboxes are: 1) Close Netscape completely 2) Click on Start / Find / Files or Folders 3) Type *.msf in the Named box and all Folders in the Look In box 4) Click on Find Now 5) When the search ends, maximize the window to full screen, and click on the word Name at the top left of the search results box. The newest Inbox.msf file will be your new account inbox E-mail me back with the path of each Inbox.msf file listed in the Search result.
