    Hello,
    I'm brand new here. I hope someone can help with a problem I'm having trying to move from Netscape 7.2 mail to Thunderbird.

    I've been able to set up Thunderbird, and my address book transfered just fine.
    The specfic problem is trying to migrate all of my old email.

    I'm using Vista.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I don't know if Vista is a problem, since I don't use it. By default, Thunderbird should import the entire Netscape settings, if chosen. But, since the Mail format of Netscape and TB is the same, once can copy and paste the necessary folders in the accounts which were set up in TB. From profile to profile with both programs closed. Copy/Paste only the files with no extention (no .msf file). The Netscape profile is in this path: C:\Windows\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles and TB in: C:\Windows\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profile. The prolfile folders are, probably, hidden, so they should be unhidden.
