Netscape Messenger 4.5 uses a different file format than previous versions. In order to import e-mail from Messenger 4.5 into Outlook, you can import the messages into Microsoft Outlook Express and then import the messages from Outlook Express into Outlook. If Active Setup detects that Netscape Mail or Netscape Messenger is installed on the computer, Active Setup lists the Netscape programs that are installed and offers to convert the mail and addresses. If you click Yes, the conversion completes without further intervention.
Converted mail is imported into the Folder List.
Addresses are imported in the Windows Address Book. Converting After Running Setup If you choose not to convert Netscape mail items during Active Setup, you can use the Outlook Import And Export Wizard to perform this operation at any time after installing Outlook. The Netscape program must still be installed on the computer. To import Netscape Mail or Netscape Messenger items, follow these steps. Start Outlook if it is not currently running.
