Hi all,

a senior citizen using NS 4.8 is now changing over to IE and OLE.
The Mozilla route is not an option in his case.

I managed to convert his addressbooks and mailinglists - but now for the messages.
He has a well backed-up message pool from 1998 onwards containing business correspondence.

Is there an automatic way to convert all folders and contained messages from Netscape 4.8 into OLE 6 format?
A software tool of some kind, a utility perhaps?

Curious,
Isaac

Netscape 4.8 is also known as "Netscape Communicator". In OE, using
File>Import>Messages, the next to last one on the list is Netscape
Communicator. You have to scroll down the list to see it.
