OK,
Firstly, I am using KDE. Click on the home folder on the panel and
negotiate your way to the windows mail folder. Mine is
/mnt/DOS_hda1/program files/netscape/
users/default/mail and the files are Drafts, Inbox, Sent, Templates and
Unsent Messages. Not much point worrying about Trash unless you're a
collector :).
Select all of those (hold down Ctrl while you left-click on each file)
then right-click on one of those files and click on 'copy'.
Check your netscape preferences (edit...preferences...mail servers) and
look at 'local mail directory' (in my case it is /home/billg/nsmail/).
Now go there in kfm and right-click on a clear spot on the screen then
click 'paste'.
Where there are filename clashes, a warning window will open and you can
change the name of the file then click on 'rename'.
There was an error in my last post...you have to close netscape and
reopen it for the new sub-folders to appear in the mail window.
Thats it!
Bill
