Convert NS 7.1 mail to OE6

[benjid]

I have been trying to find a way to import my tons of Netscape 7.1 mail to OE6. Anybody have any suggestions?

Have you tried (in OE) File, Import, Messages, Netscape Communicator?

 

[benjid]

Yes. That option only imports from versions 2 through 4, not 6 or 7. I do this every day for my clients, but the new Netscapes are different.

 

[smah]

I thought 6 & 7 were the same file format - apparently not. What export (or save as) choices do you have within NS? - anything OE can import?

 

[benjid]

Yes, I can save to an *.eml format, but we are talking about 200 folders with thousands of emails.

According to this

http://techaholic.net/support/convertns-oe.html,

you will need to load an older version of NS to make it work. OE can not import from version 6 on. Here's another discussion that seems to agree

Is there any mention anywhere of a Mozilla to OE conversion, because that would be the exact same thing (just different location of where the profile is stored).
