Re: [expert] Importing IE 5 bookmarks

2001-09-05 Thread Joseph Braddock

Try importing them into KMail first.  This will place them in ~/Mail.  From 
there, copy them to ./Mozilla/default/whateveristhedirectory/Mail.  Only copy 
those mail items that do not contain an extension.  When you open up Mozilla 
mail, Mozilla will automatically create the indexes.

2001-09-05 Thread Joseph Braddock

You will need to first create the mailbox in Mozilla before trying to copy 
the imported files as outlined below.  Also, I mis-typed the directory to 
copy to.  It should read something like: 
~/.Mozilla/default/whateverthedirectoryis/Mail/mailboxname

I have Netscape 6.1 installed so on my system it is 
~/.Mozilla/default/xt35mkt8.slt/Mail/mail.earthlink.net
(although I have since switched back to Konquerer and KMail)

IE can export its bookmarks in an html-formatted file. Cumbersome. Awkward.

You might look at kurllaunch (search for it on Freshmeat). It is an app that 
creates a mime-type for the *.url files and then launches them in a browser. 
That way, you can just copy the actual bookmarks over to a Linux directory.
