Wow - I thought everything was in the users directory under netscape. I did what you said and here is what I found:
inbox.msf - c:\windows\mozilla\profiles\aelbirt\i1znh86.slt\mail\mail.nac.net (latest file) and c:\windows\mozilla\profiles\aelbirt\i1znh86.slt\mail\mail.nac-1.net The only oddity is the older file is only older by about an hour - I wonder if this is the one I got from creating the other account. I basically did the same thing as you described but from the mail window not the edit preferences. The reason I think this might be the case is my mail is up-converted from netscape 4.x and there are still all of the old files hanging around in my user area. So, the $10 million question is where do I copy the latest inbox.msf to? Thanks!
