I've already exported all Netscape data toĭBase, combined it with another database, and cleaned it up. (The relatedĪddress Book import issue is far less serious: I'm quite willing and able toĮxport/import those data manually. So I feel (and probably am) completely blocked from using Mozilla. This without messing up my Netscape settings.) But I can't get my email at all. Or it might have already saved my usual settings - I don't know how to test (Mozilla might be reading my configuration files, My memory of how bad this bug isįor an initial setup (many months ago) has faded, but I never got Mozilla set upĬorrectly the first time, and ever since then Mozilla will not even look for my Someone who is stumped by it the first time. It seems that it becomes gravely worse for Still lingering on this particular computer today), but this bug, more thanĪnything, has kept me from using it.

We would need to uncompress these files and then copy the results to theįolders. etcĮtc you get the idea, so we would need to do stuff to handle these cases To have the zip command, or windows users to have winzip to read tars.

I know linux can read zips, etc, but then we would require unix people File formats to support (tars for unix, zips for windows, weird stuff for We could export to a compressed file format but: Feel free toįlame me directly at - as long as you also enlighten me.
