You could be right, there. Thinking about it, I've mainly been importing Netscape mail into different Netscape versions, and to some extent Mozilla mail into new Mozilla installs. Netscape did seamlessly take up my Mozilla mail setup when it trashed the Mozilla one - but perhaps that is to be expected, too, as a commercial proposition. Perhaps not.
They certainly look the same, but of course it is possible that they carry some sort of identifier that sets them apart and makes them unusable.
data files, '*.msf' may be diff between moz and ns.
in moz, each email file has a 'fn.msf' file. each directory is a 'dir.sbd', along with 2 files. a '0' size file and an msf file.
It was netscape 7 in linux that I was trying to import to moz in linux. I'm very puzzled by it all. I seem to have trashed the files now, and it wasn't all that important.
you forgot 3 magic words, 'backup, backup, backup'.
_never_ use 'active files' for test purpose. _always_ use copied paths for test. _no_ exceptions to this rule.
What is more interesting, not to say frustrating, is that there seems to be no way you can set up for moz to collect mail from a netscape.net account.
have you verified this with netscape?
peace out.
