Moving mail from Netscape 7.1 to Outlook 2002

Does anyone know how to do this? I've tried using the
import option in Outlook, and pointed it to the folder
where the Netscape profile data is stored, but Outlook
imports 0 messages. Tried the same process with Outlook
Express, with the same results.

Any suggestions/ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Jim Dunne
 
I have had this same problem as well. I point it to the
folder and Outlook says "0 messages imported".

If you go to "accounts" there is an import option. You
click on it and it automatically goes to my Netscape mail
folder but it wants an ".iaf" file to import. Netscape
uses ".msf" files for their messages.

Help? Please email me!
 
I have a similar problem. Trying to import from Netscape 6.2 into Outlook 2003. I have found that older versions of Netscape can be imported into Outlook Express and can then be imported by Outlook. In my version of Netscape , the email data was stored in the Windows directory beginning with .../Application Data/Mozilla/my netscape username/... All the files and folders on mine were over 450MB (includes email attachments, I guess) The address book has a .mab extension where Outlook wanted a .nab Anyone who discovers a fix for this is a hero.

Address book - export as LDIF which Outlook can import.

Mail - Download and install either Netscape 4.x (preferred because of
attachment issues) or Eudora.
Copy all your mail files from NS 6 (the ones WITHOUT the extension) into
your new mail client. launch the mail client. open each mail file. This will
build the index files.
Then, in Outlook, do the import.
