Re: Import from Netscape

Hi Antoni,
For to import mail/message :
Open outlook express,
Click on File -> Import - > Mail/Message -> Netscape communicator (or Netscape Mail) -> Click on key Import or Next (after you follow the instrutions on screen ...)
P.S. The path-file is (usually) c:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\\mail (where is the name of Netscape profile to be imported)
If there are problems, write again in forum, i have other solution for help.

HOOPPPS... Sorry Antoni, but my previous answer is incomplete, has forgotten this:
To import Book :
Open outlook express,
Click on File -> Import - > Other book -> Book of Netscape communicator -> Click on key Import (after you follow the instrutions on screen ...)
P.S. The path extension of book-file netscape is *.nab or *na2 or similar.
If request path, you could to use the program Search of Windows for identifies it.

Re: Import from Netscape

Hi Bruno,
e-mail import worked fine!
Now I have import address book; I think open netscape and export address book in text format then import text format.
Do you know another way?
