Hello, If you are having trouble with getting Mozilla to import your old Netscape 4.x email, another program may come to your rescue: Mailbag Assistant from Fookes Software (which also makes the famous Notetab Pro text editor.) Mailbag Assistant lets you import and export a variety of email formats. It is shareware. I have more information on my MozTips site: http://www.vorstrasse91.com/moztips/tips.html#email
For importing bookmarks, please check out my Profile help page, which explains Profiles, which contain your bookmark files and email files. http://www.vorstrasse91.com/moztips/mozillaprofiles.html I am not sure why importing email into Mozilla is so tricky ... but I can say that Mailbag Assistant has really helped out a lot, and solved the problem for me. About importing personal toolbar settings ... I am not sure how to do that, or if that is possible. Hope this helps! - Jay Mike Cleven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... > Hi.
