Description:

I'm trying to make a consistent archive of all my mail, but since some of it is in Netscape's files, I'm having a hard time figuring how they work.

Anyone has alreay done this or has clues for me?


Thanks in advance.
Michele

Netscape uses standar MBox format. Have a look at the Mail::Box::Mbox module. Of cource, it doesn't deal with netscape's summary files, but netscape will happily update those for you.

I ran my Inbox through Mhonarc so I could access it
via the web. Mhonarc gives you lots of formatting
options as well.
For specifics on using it with Netscape mail accounts
