Yes, please? What's up with this thread? Did it die? I am monitoring this thread because this is what I want to do too. Carlos, please tell us how you did it. It seems there are several who want to know but it seems the only answers so far are "yes it can be done" or "why don't you try...". Does anyone know how to get KMail to see Netscape mail? I really want to escape Windows but the Linux version of Netscape looks horrible and is difficult to read.
Er... sorry, I did post a long mail explaining how to do it (nov-2), but there were not comments on it. I was also watching the thread for a few days but I saw none: I was somewhat puzzled, seeing the interest. I know I posted, because I received it. It is quite difficult for me to follow threads here, too much mail. I have been trying several programs, but none is perfect; and then I upgraded for 7.3 to 8.1 and got a bunch of new problems. If you don't find it in your files, try the archives at suse; if not, I'll repost or I'll send it direct, your choice - but I prefer the list :-)
If there really isn't any way to get KMail to read Netscape mail, then perhaps is there another client that is good and can see Netscape mail?
I assure you that not only it is possible, but it is easy: I did. The only real problem you'll have it's keeping track of what is read and what not, because most programs use different systems for that. You can use mozilla or Netscape 6 indistinctly, but also Netscape 4.7, balsa (gnome) or pine (text), even plain "mail", but not evolution (the conversion is not "bidirectional", it imports and use its own files there on). -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
