Hi Ingo,

NN only offers to import Eudora and > Outlook. First find out what mailbox format Netscape actually uses, IIRC its mbox. Get an *IX box with something supporting the target mailbox format, in this case formail/procmail (or hope that they've been ported to Win32, ie. as part Cygnus stuff). Make a script that weeds out all news messages (match some always present news-only header) from your Microdot message base and throw the rest at aforementioned tools. In case Netscape is not able to sort to subfolders on importing, procmail could take care of that too. You only spoke of mails, but as Netscape also supports news and most likely won't use a different format to store those, you might replace the weeding process by simply letting procmail sort the news messages to some other mbox(es) and so also import your news to Netscape. I'm planning to do basically the same myself soon, expect that I'll move the message base to Maildir format instead of mbox using maildrop instead of procmail. Thus any feedback or further ideas are welcome. :) You will however loose any status information, ie. all flags like read/unread, new, Archived etc. as those are stored in Microdot's propietary index files. The only "solution" for this I've found so far is simply reading all your mail before doing the migration... ;) It would be so simple if Microdot would've used a standard mailbox format... ;) elmar -- 3.1 // <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ICQ: 13799187 Public PGP key available via pgp.net // A4000T 68060-50 & 604e-233, 2+144MB, 12GB, SyJet 1.5GB, Cybervision64/3D, \\// Member of Team *AMIGA* Crack RC5 now!
