Hello, Bonjour, Grussig -- I'm about to migrate my wife to PowerMail 5. It's been so long since I made the move to PowerMail 3 that I've forgotten whatever tricks I might have learned during the process.
She's moving from Netscape Communicator 4.7 running on a MacOS 9 box that's been dedicated to her e-mail. She's got a 400MB of mail in about 120 folders, subfolders, sub-subfolders, etc. -- not a large body by PowerMail standards. The target environment is MacOS X on a shiny new PowerBook, where she's been doing her "real" work for some time now. Is there any advice on moving Netscape mail into PowerMail preserving the folder hierarchy? I remember seeing reference to a third-party application on this list that helps with mail transfer issues, would it be useful in this case? I know PowerMail imports "Netscape/Mozilla" but don't know if the folder format changed between Netscape 4.7 and the current versions. What about her Netscape Communicator address book? I seem to remember taking it through Netscape 6 to get it into PowerMail 3. Or maybe doing some horrible export and reformat with perl. But my target this time is to get the Netscape addresses into the MacOS X address book, although I'm not opposed to bringing it into PowerMail and synching it from there, if that's the most effective approach. If things go true to form, at some point I'll hit my forehead and say "so THAT'S what that option meant!" at which point I'll want to try things again from scratch. What are the files/directories that I need to delete to reset the User Environment to "pre-import" status? I suspect if I blow away the PowerMail preferences and the PowerMail Files folder, I'll go all the way back to "just installed". Is there anyplace short of that I can get to without leading to inconsistencies? Thanks for any advice you may have. My wife has been looking over my shoulder for several years now and is eager to get onto PowerMail. Bill Lisowski [EMAIL PROTECTED]
