Hi guys. I need help with a Netscape matter. Briefly, I have several years' of valuable emails stored in Netscape. For reasons connected with how Windows 7 on my new computer won't run Netscape, I have installed Netscape 4.79 on another computer (a Hewlett Packard) having Windows XP.

Meanwhile, my previous main computer (an Acer, with Windows XP) had Netscape 4.79 with those precious emails. It is still functioning but seems likely to die soon.

On the HP computer the Mail folder for Netscape is located here: C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\muffin.

But I found that there was no exactly corresponding folder on the Acer computer. Rather, I located: C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\latest.

Well, inside 'latest' I located a Mail folder (207MB). So I copied that onto my thumb-drive. Then I pasted that copied folder over the empty Mail folder in the HP's 'muffin' folder (which duly showed 207MB).

But when I opened Netscape itself, no mail items would appear in either the Inbox or the Sentbox.

I'm not even sure that 207MB is large enough to account for several years' of emails (several each day), both Inbox and Sentbox. But I couldn't see another likely folder.

Can anyone help, please?

Thanks - Ken (in Oz)
