I upgraded to XP and cannot find my Netscape Mail Folders. On the Netscape Mail page the address book is the there. So are the profiles. But the Mail Folders and contents are gone.
I don't have Mozilla folder in Documents and Settings. Where is this stuff if the profiles and address book are there? I can find no files with the extention .slt.

okay, cool! I found the .slt files. There's a folder named "earthlink" for my main profile and another called "mail.earthlink.net" for my other profile. Now how do I get these to open up in Netscape Mail? Thanks.
In your Edit | Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings | Server Settings, scroll down to the "Local directory" field. Change the path to point to the appropriate location on the HD for your mail.earthlink.net, and earthlink accounts. Do this for each Profile. If this doesn't correct your problems, post back.
sorry for the cross posting. posted the prob on xp board before realizing there was one specific for netscape and if there's an option to delete your post i can't find it.
each Local Directory points to the correct location. folders still do not appear. in fact, i'm not able to get my mail through netscape at this point.
The other thread is gone now. Only the Mod's can delete posts.
So when you open your Mail & Newsgroups the left Accounts panel is completely blank? If so use the dropdown menu from the tiny icon at the upper right side of the Mail Account panel as shown in this Screen Shot. Perhaps you haven't enabled your columns, or they have inadvertently been changed?
Or are the folders there, but no Mail in the folders?
hmmm...i'm not able to create folders. i right clicked on a profile to create a subfolder, named it, clicked ok and the box just stood there. no folder created, no error msg.
Do this for me:
Open Mail & Newsgroups
Right click on the Inbox folder of joeblow
Select: "Copy folder location"
Next: Open Clipboard
You will see the location of your Inbox there, and that is where your Server Settings | Local directory field should point.
Do the same for joeblow2.
One other question, in the Netscape Profile Manager, is the Profile listed?
Start | Programs | Netscape X | Profile Manager
For a Mail Setting edit you must close Netscape and reopen, for it to take effect. It must be written to the prefs.js file before you will see the edit in Mail & Newsgroups.
i'm able to send email messages from that page. i get a message that it couldn't save it to the Send folder (since none exists, really) but the message goes.
Good grief, I should go to bed, of course you can't click on the Inbox if it isn't there!
What I would do, is open Mail & Newsgroups and delete both Mail Accounts, close Netscape, then reopen Mail & Newsgroups.
Now recreate the Mail accounts, ensuring that they point to the correct location on the HD. If this doesn't work then you will need to Create a New Profile.
silly me. i thought this was over. this is probably easier to fix. on my messages now, underneath the subj, from, to, cc are lines and lines of detail stuff like
xx mozilla status
xx mozilla
return path
conent
MIME-Version
etc...
