Jordan,
If you got another partial reply, I apologize. I was typing away, and
suddenly, the reply was not there any more.

I managed to "migrate" my Netscape and IBM Web Browser mail files into
Mozilla. I identified the directory and file path using each old
browser's settings. For IBM Web Browser, it was
"C:\home\default\Mozilla\Profiles\default\6odekpu9.slt\Mail\mail".
For Netscape, it was
"F:\NETSCAPE\USERS\cmcampb\Mail5\Mail\mail".

I'm actually using the Netscape mail file as my Mozilla mail file, since
it was on my F: drive, where I try to keep all my "data".

I used Mozilla to create two e-mail accounts (File, New, Account), and
on the "Server Settings" page, I put the old names into the "Local
Directory:" field. I used my current e-mail address, mail server, etc.,
so that theoretically, I could send replies from that account if I
wanted to. (I see one e-mail in the Web Browser's "Sent" directory that
looks as if I sent it to myself as a test.)

This seems to work pretty well. So, you don't have to stay back on an
older e-mail tool just because you have a lot of history there.
