This is bug #324366. See
. It was dicsussed
on this newsgroup just last week.


I followed the newsgroup for years, starting with Netscape, but SM got
so good, I rarely had a problem to fix; for the same reason, I rarely
could help others. So, I dive in only when I have a problem.



By the way, please put a blank space after the "--" in your signature.
Per RFC 3676, the line before the signature in a newsgroup message
should be "-- " (dash-dash-space).


Who knew? Seems like a non-visible character is an odd choice - must be
some legacy reason behind it.

Anyway, from the bug report I learned it's not a bug anymore, it's an
"unsupported feature" because the service has been shut off. That
explains why it used to work and now it doesn't. So, no more "broken"
reports from here. I thought it was a good idea, but maybe SM is so good
now, it's not needed.

Flyguy, check out Help->about Seamonkey. In the Build Identify does it 
mention Firefox at all??


By including the word "Firefox" in the BI, sites that Browser sniff are 
fooled into thinking you are using FF not SeaMonkey, so the web site 
presents a page that SM can display.


Rather than trying to fix the web, the SM developers have decided to 
brake SM, IMHO, of course.

I was going to recommend MozBack to do the backup to a flash drive the

have done several restores, and also use it to move my complete account

Can anyone here help with - or refer me to help for - a Netscape question?

[Ken]

Hi guys.  I need help with a Netscape matter.  Briefly, I have several 
years' of valuable emails stored in Netscape.  For reasons connected 
with how Windows 7 on my new computer won't run Netscape, I have 
installed Netscape 4.79 on another computer (a Hewlett Packard) having 
Windows XP.


Meanwhile, my previous main computer (an Acer, with Windows XP) had 
Netscape 4.79 with those precious emails.  It is still functioning but 
seems likely to die soon.


On the HP computer the Mail folder for Netscape is located here: 
C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\muffin.


But I found that there was no exactly corresponding folder on the Acer 
computer.  Rather, I located: C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\latest.


Well, inside 'latest' I located a Mail folder (207MB).  So I copied that 
onto my thumb-drive.  Then I pasted that copied folder over the empty 
Mail folder in the HP's 'muffin' folder (which duly showed 207MB).


But when I opened Netscape itself, no mail items would appear in either 
the Inbox or the Sentbox.


I'm not even sure that 207MB is large enough to account for several 
years' of emails (several each day), both Inbox and Sentbox.  But I 
couldn't see another likely folder.


Can anyone help, please?

Thanks - Ken (in Oz)

I run SM not Netscape, but try this
locate "local folders" under Netscape hierachy
paste your old mail folder under it (of 207 MB)
supress the *.msf files if any, they are index, hoping it should rebuild 
them

your first step is to install a modern e'mail program on your new 
computer... SeaMonkey is the logical progression for you given your 
loyalty to the combined netscape browser/e'mail set up ... but you may 
also install thunderbird if you are interested...


once you've got it up and running get back to us here after you've set 
up this newsgroup account in your new e'mail program of choice...


once that's done you will need to copy individual e'mail folders into 
the SeaMonkey file system...

My suggestion would be to install Seamonkey on the computer with 
Netscape.  I pick Seamonkey because it is the closest thing to Netscape 
out there (and why I run it). Seamonkey should be able to import the 
files into it. From there you can transfer that install of seamonkey to 
the Win 7 machine.


If that doesn't work use MozBackup (google it) to make an archive of the 
Netscape files then use Mozbackup to import that archive into Seamonkey 
on the new machine.

Agree it would be good to know how it goes.
But here is why I think it will work.

I used MozBackup to migrate my own Netscape 4.7x files from Netscape to 
Mozilla 1.x back in the old Mozilla suite days. That old Mozilla is very 
close to how Seamonkey works today.


I frequently have used Mozbackup to migrate profiles between Seamonkey 
and Thunderbird and that works well. Admittedly it has been a few 
revisions since I have done this though.


Given these two things I suspect it will work.

Re: Can anyone here help with - or refer me to help for - a Netscape question?

[Ken]

Interim response from Ken (in Oz) to the posts here so far.

Guys, your thoughts have been very welcome.  I'm not a tech whiz, so I 
may have to wait to do much until the middle of next week when a friend 
can come and help out.


For example, I don't really understand cybercitizen's reference to 
locating 'local folders' under Netscape [or SeaMonkey] hierarchy and 
then suppressing the .msf files, if any.


I can tell sean that I already have SM on my new (Windows 7-using) 
computer - naturally, as I have used the SM suite for years.


About MozBackup.  I do have that on my old Acer computer (which has 
Netscape and SM, with Windows XP) and on the HP computer (which also has 
Windows XP)  where I have loaded Netscape and hope to import my Netscape 
mail files from the old Acer computer.  I ran MozBackup on both of these 
computers a few minutes ago.  In both cases, it said: 'It is possible to 
backup or restore Mozilla user profile(s) for the following 
applications: Mozilla 1.8.1.21.'


In neither case was there any mention of Netscape.

Paul's reference to a Virtual XP machine for Win7 is noted with 
interest.  I'm not sure that I understand his other suggestion: 'Can you 
export to a file then import to SM?'  (No doubt my friend will know.)


Another complicating factor.  My present SM not only has Inbox and 
Sentbox, it has Old Inboxes 1,2, and 3, and Old Sentbox 1,2, and 3, both 
containing emails going back several years.  (The Netscape mails are 
from a time before that, but are especially valuable.)


Many thanks - Ken (in Oz)

then suppressing the .msf files, if any.


I can tell sean that I already have SM on my new (Windows 7-using) 
computer - naturally, as I have used the SM suite for years.


About MozBackup.  I do have that on my old Acer computer (which has 
Netscape and SM, with Windows XP) and on the HP computer (which also has 
Windows XP)  where I have loaded Netscape and hope to import my Netscape 
mail files from the old Acer computer.  I ran MozBackup on both of these 
computers a few minutes ago.  In both cases, it said: 'It is possible to 
backup or restore Mozilla user profile(s) for the following 
applications: Mozilla 1.8.1.21.'


In neither case was there any mention of Netscape.

Paul's reference to a Virtual XP machine for Win7 is noted with 
interest.  I'm not sure that I understand his other suggestion: 'Can you 
export to a file then import to SM?'  (No doubt my friend will know.)


Another complicating factor.  My present SM not only has Inbox and 
Sentbox, it has Old Inboxes 1,2, and 3, and Old Sentbox 1,2, and 3, both 
containing emails going back several years.  (The Netscape mails are 
from a time before that, but are especially valuable.)


Many thanks - Ken (in Oz)


Before going too far, you may want to copy the entire Netscape folder
to somewhere else.
