I want to switch My OS to Mac OS X, I use Netscape Mail but I don't know how to convert/import all my emails from Netscape mail (OS 9) to Netscape Mail (OS X) ver 6.23, Any body can help me how to do it?
Thanks!
 
This will depend on which versions of Netscape you are using. If you are using the newest versions of Netscape 6.X with Mac OS 9 and OS X, everything will work out fine. You will have to create a series of folders in your Mac OS X Library folder. It will look something like this:

/Users/Your_User_Name/Library/Mozilla/Profiles/default/

In your Mac OS 9 Preferences folder, inside the System folder, There will be a folder for Netscape 6.X. I think it's labeled "Netscape Users" or something like that. Somewhere in there is a folder with some meaningless letters and numbers with a ".slt" extension:

[Letters_&_Numbers].slt might look something like pmc4jks7r.slt.

This is the folder that contains EVERYTHING you need. Copy this file (Option-drag) the [Letters_&_Numbers].slt folder to the default folder inside the foldrs you just created in your Library folder. The full path will be this:

/Users/Your_User_Name/Library/Mozilla/Profiles/default/[Letters_&_Numbers].slt


Startup Netscape X 6.X and it will work just like in Mac OS 9. The preference files, mail, etc... are identical between Netscape 6.X in Mac OS 9 and OS X, it's just that the preferences are stored in different places.
