OE Import error of Netscape Communicator mail/msgs

G

Guest

Hello,

I'm trying to migrate Eudora 6.2 mailboxes to Outlook. The path I'm taking
is to first import my Eudora messages into Netscape Communicator 7.2. This
import step worked well. I can open/read the Eudora mailboxes/messages in
Netscape Communicator.

Now, the next step is to import my Netscape Communicator mail into Outlook
Express 6.02 (so I can finally import the Outlook Express messages into
Outlook, which is my goal.)

I get an error in Outlook Express, though...I select "File/Import/Messages".
In the list box called "Select an email program to import from," I select
"Netscape Communicator." The next screen is titled "Location of Messages".
The location of messages field displays and is blank/empty, so I click
"Browse" to manually select my mailboxes directory within the Netscape mail
directory (i.e., "C:\Documents and Settings\usernamehere\Application
Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\032c4cxr.slt\Mail\Local Folders\Eudora
Mail1.sbd\"). Then Outlook Express displays this error:

"No messages can be found in this folder, or another application is running
that has the required files open. Please select another folder or try
closing applications that may have files open."

No other applications are running. No matter what Netscape area Eudora
folder or subfolder I select that contains the Netscape.msf messages, I
receive the same error.

Could someone help me? What folder(s) is OE looking for?

Thank you. John
