address book ns7

hi! I've a problem. I'm migrating from netscape 4.7x to netscape 7.
The question is:
in the 4.7 version netscape managed the address book files creating a file called *.na2. This is not the ns7 use. How the last version of netscape manage the address book?
Is there a file containing the address book? Can I take it manually?
Thanks a lot

Hi Frederico,

The Netscape 7 Address Book file is abook.mab. It is found in your
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\
Profiles\username\xxxxxxxx.slt folder
OR
Windows 2000/XP
C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profilename\xxxxxxxx.slt
NOTE: These files are hidden by default.

Have you already installed Netscape 7? If not, you should know that your Communicator Profile will automatically be converted to Netscape 7.

If you have installed Netscape 7, and for some reason your Address Book was not converted, you can do the following:

Export your Communicator pab.na2 file as an .LDIF file
Open Address Book
FILE|EXPORT
Save as file type .LDIF, to your HD

Open the Netscape 7 Address Book and Import the .LDIF file
TOOLS|IMPORT
Select Address Book
Select Text File ( LDIF.......
Browse to the file location on your HD

You should see a "Successfully" imported message.

If you have more questions please post back.
