I recreated the 3 missing ones and closed NS mail. Went into Windows explorer (BTW, I have Win ME (yuck) on this machine) and copied the inbox, etc. to the recreated accounts and they reappeared in NS mail. Maybe I gave NS too much to do and it bombed? Been reading about the clean install, maybe it's what I need because it is on a NS6 platform. NS6 was not very nice to my PC...
I hate MS stuff so much I am willing to put up with the NS hiccups. All the PCs at my company are MS - "You can't get there from here" feeling everyday. Thank you for the reply.
Your situation may be under control. If you used a NS6.x program it is a must to create a new profile. I, also do not understand what you mean by move. But, no matter what you do never, ever MOVE or CUT, but always COPY. Many people urge to do back ups. Back ups are not needed if you do not Cut and then you make a mistake. Read Ramona's Netscape Solutions and you should be ok, if you have plenty of memory(RAM) and and you are careful. Anything from WinMe and down is risky with NS7.1 because it will eat up your resources and memory. The best thing is to install 7.1 in a directory separate from 7.02, and have different profiles. Coming from 6.x can be a problem by itself.
Please, take note if you have a crash, what did to what. It may not have anything to do with Netscape.

I was moving email folders over to new accounts and removing the old ones as I went along. I had just finished moving the last of the messages to the new accounts when a DLL error popped up and the program suddenly crashed. I do not remember the DLL error. I reset the machine and discovered that 2 of my new accounts that I had just moved the messages in to and folders to were gone! Still have 3 other new ones working. Now I don't trust this program. Loads of important emails are missing. Anyone have this happen? Is there a way to restore? The profiles are not in the folders either. Just as if someone had manually erased the accounts. Please advise. Thank you.
