I just found them. I got a clue from a posting on another list. All my
mail seems to be located in C:\Documents and Settings\Brian
Durant\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\lm1goonf.slt\Mail I
don't know if this is standard, but it is odd that none of these folders
or a text string search showed any of this. I found the files by looking
in C:\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape which is the closest to what was
described to my Win2k Pro setup in the other posting. While I didn't
find exactly what was described, I found a "Local Folders" shortcut to
C:\Documents and Settings\Brian Durant\Application
Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\lm1goonf.slt\Mail\Local Folders Thanks for
the help.
Cheers,
Brian
