I am finally joining the MS throng and converting from Netscape mail. But
the Import Wizard for Outlook 2003 does not show Netscape. So how do I
import my old Netscape address books and mail folders to Outlook or am I
stuck with using Netscape to look at old mail? Any assistance will be
appreciated.
 
Open Outlook Express and import Netscape to Outlook Express, actually 2003
should look for Netscape email but not contacts. Anyway, Outlook Express will
ask to import Netscapes contacts as a .NAB file (Netscape Address Book)so,
convert the data to Outlook Express then Outlook 2003 will see the Outlook
Express data. Hope this makes sense, if not let me know and I'll work harder
to clarify, you should be able to work through the steps using the wizards.
Basically, Netscape => Outlook Express => Outlook 2003.
 
Worked like a charm ti import the address book to contacts. Then got
imported mail from Netscape to Outlook Express then to Outlook 2003. Looks
like I am in business. Now to find out the "real operation" of Outlook so I
can communicate. Thanks for the assist!
 
Hi guys. I tried this method for netscape 7.2 email and it says it can't
find the email in the folder. Is there something or some step I'm missing?
when I go into the netscape folder, the file extensions are .msf. Does
outlook express recognize this file format?
 
Anthony. I looked for .msf extensions on my hardfile and there were none.
Not sure where to point you. For my machine, I was upgrading to a new PC so
just moved the old C: drive to my new machine. Then I downloaded Netscape
7.2 to the new machine, converted the old Netscape to 7.2 then converted to
Outlook Express then to Outlook 2003. All I did was point the program to the
old files and away the converter went. Sorry I could not be of any more help
to you.
