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)
your first step is to install a modern e'mail program on your new
computer... SeaMonkey is the logical progression for you given your
loyalty to the combined netscape browser/e'mail set up ... but you may
also install thunderbird if you are interested...
once you've got it up and running get back to us here after you've set
up this newsgroup account in your new e'mail program of choice...
once that's done you will need to copy individual e'mail folders into
the SeaMonkey file system...
