Gentlemen, mission successfully accomplished. Sean's directions were
spot-on, and the copying of my old (Netscape 4.79) In and Sent folders
into my SM 2.0.11 Mail folder (via an intermediary folder where we
renamed the In and Sent folders 'inscape' and 'sentscape') went smoothly
and easily. Everything appears to be working perfectly under Local Folders.
Thanks for all help and suggestions.

Clarifying. You are not mistaken, sean.
make a backup copy of the Netscape mail folder... or two or three for
good measure... do your migration work from one of those back-up copies
so as not to corrupt your still working Netscape 4.79...
then FWIW, mailbox folders are still just mailbox folders... you can
copy the individual inbox, sent, drafts, templates, etc files over to
your new SeaMonkey... re-name them all something that does not conflict
with any pre-existing folders in your new SeaMonkey, as well as
something you will immediately recognize when you next open SeaMonkey
caution: SeaMonkey and Netscape must both be closed while you copy
files...
Inbox and sent are all I want to save. So I might call them 'inscape'
and 'sentscape' (to be poetic!). Thanks for sharing your knowledge,
sean. I'm relieved that you think it'll be this easy - to copy straight
from Netscape into SM 2.0.11, right?

yes it should be easy... but like i said... make backup copies outside
of your working netscape...
