Thinking about it, I've mainly been importing Netscape mail into different Netscape versions, and to some extent Mozilla mail into new Mozilla installs. Netscape did seamlessly take up my Mozilla mail setup when it trashed the Mozilla one - but perhaps that is to be expected, too, as a commercial proposition. Perhaps not.
They certainly look the same, but of course it is possible that they carry some sort of identifier that sets them apart and makes them unusable. It was netscape 7 in linux that I was trying to import to moz in linux. I'm very puzzled by it all. I seem to have trashed the files now, and it wasn't all that important. I can easily set up new mail boxes, and I didn't have much in them (I'm sure I did a backup just before migrating to 9.1, but it hardly seems worth the bother of finding the files). What is more interesting, not to say frustrating, is that there seems to be no way you can set up for moz to collect mail from a netscape.net account. A pity, as I wanted to use that as a replacement for my old junk-mail file - I like to have one address that I can give when at an exhibition and someone gets too pushy <g> Ah, well, there are always others.
