I am helping a friend switch from Netscape 7.1 browser/mail to Internet
Explorer and Outlook Express. We were able to set up her new mailbox with no problems and are receiving new messages. We were not able to import her old mail messages into OE, however. She's running Windows XP SP2 and has Office 2003 installed. We located the directory that holds all of her mail folders and are able to open it and read individual email messages using MS Word. But, when we do File, Import, and specify either Netscape Communicator or Netscape Mail (v2 or V3) we get the same error message: No messages can be found in this folder or another application is running that has the required files open. Please select another folder or try closing applications that have files open. Does anyone have any ideas on how to move forward? Thanks, Bill |

To import messages from Netscape 7, you need to install Netscape version 4xx
first. Netscape to Outlook Express: http://home.att.net/~cherokee67/ns7mailtoOEorO.html -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Bill" wrote in message ...

Bruce,
Thanks for the quick response. I thought it would end up being something like this, but wasn't able to get any information from Netscape. We'll give this a try early next week and let you know the outcome. I am assuming we can get a copy of Netscape 4.xx somewhere...

Thanks to both Ricky and Bruce. I was able to import the mail folders late
yesterday - it took several hours because things were not exactly as I expected. I found that OE wouldn't import any mail folder unless we had first opened it in Communicator. And my friend has a ton of mail folders (about 60). We had to actually open each one, but the import worked and the job is done. Thanks for the help.
