If you have Mozilla installed and then install NS 7, it will draw the settings from Mozilla. I had Moz. v1 installed, but hadn't used it for some time. As such the email and bookmarks were quite stale, but NS 7 automagically imported those settings. I didn't want those, but the new stuff from 4.77. In order to do that, I had to uninstall Mozilla, then uninstall NS V7, then reinstall V7 and IMPORT the mail and settings from V 4.77. Kind of messy, but got what I wanted in the end. I do like the NS 7 and have removed all of the 'AOL' stuff from the personal bar (mosilla fixes work with ns 7 in most cases) and went back to the Classic view which keeps me looking like my old 4.77. Now if I can fix the email folders to look like 4.77, I'll be a happy camper. Did see that there is a problem with mail via the IMAP protocol. As I use POP, haven't encountered this.
