Hello.
Through disk and software changes I'm left with a Mail directory,
probably from
Netscape Communicator, that I would like to access with a normal mail
client
but I need to identify which one. The Mail directory is in my home
directory and
under that are the subfolders, then in the subfolders are numbered
files each
containing one email. Does this sound familiar and is it a Netscape
Communicator
mail directory?
Any suggestions on the easiest way to pick through this Mail
directory to pick out
the important emails?
You can access them where they are with mutt or move them to where
Thunderbird or some other mail client can see them.
The files without extensions are mail folders. You may see
directories (folders) which may contain other files w/o extentions
that are also mail folders.
With mutt you can just do
mutt -f <path>
or start mutt and press 'c' (change folder) and navigate from there.
With thunderbird put them (with a name that isn't already there) in
the .../Mail/<account-name>/ directory while t-bird is not running and
start t-bird and you will see those mail folders with the names you
gave them. With other mail clients similar things are possible.
That sound like maildir folders, as opposed to mbox. Does Thunderbird
handle maildir?
