Q: Ok, I told him not to . but you know how it goes.
My father downloaded the new 7.0 version of Netscape some time ago and somehow got two versions of Netscape on hism machine.
Now I got him a new computer and I are trying to export e-mail. Netscape 7.0 is not an option for exporting and when I go to the Mail folder in the user profile folder, I get only the old e-mail from the old version which has now not been used for more than one way to year.
Is e-mail export from Netscape 7? I want him to use Outlook Express now.
Thanks for any help.
Best Answer: Netscape vs Internet Explorer
Header font sizes are larger in Netscape
Frame borders appear wider in Netscape
Sounds for buttons require a plug-in for Netscape
The majority of the html techniques used were transparent across Netscape Navigator version 7 and Internet Explorer version 6. The only noticeable difference was the weight or thickness of the frame borders. The borders were definately larger in Netscape. The size of the headers did appear to be larger in Netscape also. On the down side, every plug-in that I did try for playing .wav audio files in Netscape did not play the java script sounds for the navigation menu buttons. Internet Explorer did not require any additional upgrades to play the .wav audio files.

Internet Explorer vs Netscape Navigator
Differences between Internet Explorer (IE) and Netscape Navigator (NN)
These two major browsers are coming closer to each other regarding the DHTML effects possible towards newer versions. However you will need to remember that IE is more flexible than Netscape and due to small differences something that works really well in IE might not work at all in Netscape. So you need to be really careful and alert when programming for both browsers. One hint you can follow in most cases is that if you get it working in Netscape it should most probably work in IE.
Another major limitation of Netscape as compared to IE is that not all properties of a page can be changed at any time. This is because when the web page is once written to the screen, only position, visibility and clipping can be manipulated dynamically.
The good news is that from the web designing point of view you can now forget completely about debugging all your websites for Netscape 4.x as a very small fraction of the Netscape community still use it. Think of it this way, if you are bent on making the website work perfectly for version 4.x then you cannot use some effects (especially javascript and CSS) that are easily supported by the latest versions of all the major browsers.
For Dreamweaver to not keep throwing up Netscape 4 errors set the browser check settings to show Netscape 6 instead of the default 4.0. To do this click on the Results panel, select the Target Browser Check tab, click on the green arrow to show the list of options – select the Settings option and set Netscape Navigator to version 6.0.
Re:try going through eudora. get the free download and import the netscape files. you should then be able to import them into oe. but stick with eudora, its way better
Re:netscape 7 isn't using mbox format. it is using .msf
i tried every import option in OE and none of them would recognize this file type.
Re:I use Eudora and never have to worry about Outlook viruses.
Re:Are you going to keep his machine up to date with patches? Outlook's security is like a screen door
.Re:Netscape 7 mail should be using the standard mbox format. Find the mailbox file itself (somewhere inside his profile I would imagine, but I don't know) and import it into outlook, telling it's an import from eudora (eudora also uses mbox).
