Hi folks, I use Netscape for all my E-mail and have about a 1k of correspondence that I want to keep.

My problem is, I can’t work out where the mail is, in Netscape so I can save it all to a CD.

Any ideas.

Cheers.

hmmmm netscape uses *nix style mailboxes if my memory serves me right...

in netscape export the mail in .msg format and save them to a temporary directory. you can then save the messages you require to cd or whatever media you wish to backup to, at will.

I thought netscape was a browser, not an email client ?

netscape is/was a full suite just like mozilla can be a whole suite or just one component such as firefox the browser or thunderbird the email client.

Thanks Inc, but does that means saving every e-mail one at a time?

Cheers

no, you should be able to export a whole mailbox or folder at once i would have thought....
