20 Nov, 2009 7:53 am transferring e-mail from an old computer to a new one [sdp=98721]  

I currently have Windows XP on my desktop and have saved all of my e-mails in my Netscape 7.1 inbox and folders. I'm going to be getting a new computer and need to figure out how to transfer all of those saved e-mails to a new computer and new mail program. I don't really care which mail program I'll be transferring the e-mails to--although I do use Yahoo Mail and Windows Mail on my laptop already--but I have no idea how to make the transfer. Any help would be HUGELY appreciated!

NS7.1 is an old version, and not recommended for use. With compatible programs, like Seamonkey or Thunderbird, I suggest that resort to a manual transfer of your folders. I don't know about Yahoo Mail, as a standalone program, and even less on how to get old folders at the website. As for Windows Mail, I have never used it. I did use Outlook Express, which came before Windows Mail. And, there is no way to import your folder of NS7.1 into Windows Mail. One would have to resort to a cumbersome procedure, going from NS7.1 to NS4.x, and then direct import to Windows Mail, if still available.
