Where did Netscape move its mail folders?

Hey:

For thousands of years, Netscape Mail has always been located:

C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\<profilename>\Mail or ImapMail depending on your flavor.

Now all of a sudden we have this mutation called Netscape 7.x! Whar did they move the farkin' mail?!

I have a client who all of a sudden can't send emails from netscape. I changed the smtp server, and it works great in Outlook Express. Just can't send nothin' in Netscape. Receive is great.

So I dive down into the preferences and swim in the dangerous waters of the &quot;advanced&quot; button. Here I find the default smtp server in lots of places. First, there's all these blank spaces which I can hightlight and delete. But deleting them does no good. I still can't send email from netscape.

Now the user is getting impatient. I mean, they pay my happy butt by the hour and I'm sucking up time trying to figure out what should be obvious. What new folder is the netscape 7.x mail stored in, so we can import it into outlook express?

Netscape used to be so intuitive. What happened?

Hi:

In case anyone wants to know the answer to my question... I found this all by myself. Mommy would be proud.

For my user it was located in:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\<profilename>\<someweirdname>.slt\Mail
Inside Mail is \Local Folders\ and a folder that's \your.popsettings.domain

Very weird, and very frustrating. Of course, none of this helped. When I opened outlook express and pointed the import location to the above location, it still errored out on me. But at least we know where it is should we need to back it up.

So now I'm trying to reinstall communicator, read the email from there, and then import it. I'm not optimistic that this will work.

Conclusion:

Installing communicator only partially worked. I was able to import the inbox folder. But for some strange and annoying reason, I couldn't import (or see from the available list of folders) the Drafts, Sent, Trash or Template folders.

I guess using Outlook Express is out of the question. And since I'm a former employee of Sun Microsystems, I'm all the happier about it. My user is set to use Netscape Communicator 4.8

Incidently...I couldn't find communicator on the netscape website. I had to go digging around the public ftp site to find it.
