Importing messages and address book from Netscape 7?
Hi All, I recently convinced a friend of mine to take the plunge and buy The Bat. Unfortunately, The Bat's import wizard doesn't have an option to import messages or address books from Netscape 7 and I can't find an export function anywhere in Netscape 7. Is this a non-starter or am I missing something obvious? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- Best regards, Nick Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I haven't tried this, but outlook express does have the capability to import messages and address books from various other programs, including Netscape. Once in outhouse, you can then do the bat import. -- Best regards, Davemailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

QUOTE from TheBat!'s help: The Bat! address book can import raw address information from any client that can export the information to: - LDIF File - Vcard - Comma Separated File - Tab Separated File - .INI file format ENDQUOTE If Netscape 7 can export to one of those formats, from TheBat!'s address book menu, select the File | Import from option and choose the import method you want to use. It's ugly, but a simple, crude, brute force if all else fails way to add the e-mail addresses, possibly the display names, but no other data to your TheBat! address book is: 1. Use Netscape 7 to send a single, Test Do Not Read message To: everyone in the Netscape 7 address book, including yourself. Do not download any messages, CLOSE NETSCAPE IMMEDIATELY. 2. Start TheBat! and download your e-mail. One of the messages will be the test message To: everyone in the Netscape 7 address book. 3. Highlight the message and then TheBat! | Specials | Add recipient to Address Book -- Daniel A.

As far as the addresses are concerned, this free tool, Dawn should do. http://www.joshie.com/projects/dawn/ Export to LDIF, rather than to The Bat directly. Then import from LDif. -- Best Whishes, Mark using The Bat! 1.63 Beta/7 Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
