Geoff - Entourage X cannot import from Netscape 7 for OS X, only from Netscape 4.x for OS 8/9. Stanley must be aware of that.
Netscape's mail folders can be found and dragged to the desktop. Change their extension (or add it) to .mbox, and then they should be draggable into Entourage. If they take on the icon of Apple's Mail.app rather than Entourage when you add the .mbox extension, select one and press command-I (or right-click) for Get Info. Select "Opens with" and change to Entourage, then click Change All. Now they will all have the Entourage icon. Netscape exports its Address Book as an LDIF file. Somewhere it keeps a utility for converting that to a tab-delimited text file or CSV file. In the old days (Classic), it had "quotes" around every single field, at least in one of its formats. That made a mess when importing into Entourage. There may be a script around that can deal with that - I think one of my Excel scripts in Export-Import Entourage can remove the quotes, but I've forgotten (!). -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage Entourage FAQ Page: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/toc.html PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise. > From: Geoff Wallace <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "Entourage:mac Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2003 16:56:02 +1100 > To: "Entourage:mac Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Stanley Tran > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: From Netscape 7.1 to Entourage X > > Hello Stanley, > > In the File Menu in Entourage select Import, follow the prompts to select > from an Application, then Select Communicator, then select the Netscape > Application, then select the Netscape Folder to Import from. > > Where are you having the problem? > > Geoff WALLACE > > On 13/12/03 2:36 PM, "Stanley Tran" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I have thousands of email messages and hundreds of contact address in >> Netscape 7.1.
