Ramona made tiny mistake

Hello,

On 9/25 I posted a msg that Ramona was VERY helpful on regarding importing my old mail folders (Posted below). Her instructions for Win98 wer correct; however, I've now loaded Win2k, and unfortunately the paths that she gave for those instructions don't match at all with what I'm seeing on my Win2k system. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Hi George,

Depending on your OS, following are the locations of the Netscape 7.0 Profile folder:

Windows 2000/Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profilename\xxxxxxxx.slt
NOTE: These files are hidden by default.

Windows NT
C:\Winnt\Profiles\user_name\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profilename\xxxxxxxx.slt

Windows ME
C:\Windows\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profilename\xxxxxxxx.slt

Windows 95/Windows 98
(If Windows login password protection is disabled)
C:\Windows\Application Data\Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profilename\xxxxxxxx.slt

If you wish to convert your Mail Filters from Netscape Communicator:

The file is RULES.DAT, but modification is required for NS7.

Using the same file, here's how it starts in NS7, after being migrated
from 4.7x.

version= "8 "
logging= "no "
name= "HTML "
enabled= "yes "
type= "1 "
action= "Move to folder "
actionValue= "mailbox://hb@pop.hevanet.com/HTML "

Here's how it looked in 4.7x...

version= "6 "
logging= "no "
name= "HTML "
enabled= "yes "
description=" "
type= "1 "
action= "Move to folder "
actionValue= "HTML "

Some users have reported success, after making changes. Personally I was successful in all but one filter. It may be that you will have to create a new file in NS7.

ThanksAMilliion,

Hi George,

Did you note that these are "Hidden Files "?

The path to the Profiles is correct, and in fact were copied from the Netscape 7.0 Release Notes, "Location of Profiles"

Let us know if you are still having a problem.

Hello gplea,

You can find out more information in Netscape 6/7 default profile location page.

Could you tell us which filter?

 

Hi Antony,

Had to reconfigure my MS Security Bulletin Filter. All the information was there, but it just didn't work. So I just did an edit, re entered the same information, and then it worked.
