Just did a fresh new install of Windows 7 ( again! ). Trying to get into
the folder where my mail folders are so I can copy and paste. Need to
get to "Users" "My name" and than "AppData". AppData does not show in
the list of available folders. I have windows set so there are NO hidden
folders.
Any suggestions?

Why are you copying and pasting? Why not just use Import? What email client?

Maybe because in XP it's called "Application Data" not "Appdata"??????

Using Mozilla SeaMonkey. It doesn't have a feature for importing a
"File" ; just gives a choice of importing from "Communicator; Outlook;
outlook Express or Eudora". I don't use any of those readers.
Regardless; why can't I get into AppData? Not using Windows XP; using
Windows 7!

An option - make a new Seamonkey Profile in your Documents folder

Then why are you posting in an XP group?
What happens when you try? I can get into AppData under my standard User
account just by unchecking "Show hidden files and folders" in Windows
Explorer.

Problem solved. Thought I had set Windows to show hidden folders. Not!!!
Thanks for your prompt reply.
 
Truthfully there aren't any Windows 7 newsgroups, but Microsoft does
have some Windows 7 Web Forums. There's a BIG difference between the
two. Web Forums are hosted on a limited number of servers, and are read
using your Web browser. NNTP newsgroups are hosted on hundreds of
servers, and messages are usually read using newsreader software.

*Not correct*. Microsoft has decided that web-based
forums are better than newsgroups and they are putting their efforts
there. I'm personally sorry that's the case, but it's their decision,
not mine.

However there is at least one non-Microsoft Windows 7 newsgroup:
alt-windows7.general. Not all servers carry it (at least not yet), but
here's one free news server that does: aioe.org

Well; my News Server doesn't carry it; therefore I stick by statement
that there are none!

LOL! That's like saying "my used car dealer doesn't have any
Rolls-Royces for sale, therefore I stick by my statement that they
don't exist."
