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.

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)
