I use 7.1 and want to migrate all messages to an external drive for archiving purposes, and transferring to a new computer. I cannot save more than one message at a time. Is there a way to save entire folders, or multiple messages?

First, this should be relocated to the Moz/NS forum.

You can back up your entire Netscape 7.1 profile to a CD. It's located in with your Application Data as the folder Mozilla. Since it looks like you're using XP, insert a blank CD and type in [tt]%appdata%[/tt] in a Run dialog, which will bring up your Aplication Data folder. Next, drag the Mozilla folder to wherever you want it to be stored. If you want to burn it to a CD, just right-click, select Send To, and click on the name of your CD burner drive.

Thanks for info. However, I am using Win98, and will be migrating data to XP on new machine. Same process?

No. In this case, you will have to do a bit of editing. But first, the directions for burning a CD would be different (if you are burning a CD in the first place). Just burn the Mozilla folder to a CD using Nero, Roxio, or whatever, and you should be all set to copy it over to XP.

When you get it to XP, put it in %appdata% (once again, just type [tt]%appdata%[/tt] into Windows Explorer's address bar). Once it's copied over, go into the Mozilla folder and delete the file pluginreg.dat. Next, there will be a file called registry.dat. You need to edit registry.dat so that it points to XP's application data folder instead of 98's application data folder. This has a lot of different things to it, though: your XP user name, how many Mozilla profiles you have, and such, as I don't believe that registry.dat understands the %appdata% variable. If you want more details on how to do so (which may be a long process), post back here, or if you want me to do it for you, e-mail or PM me and I'll get back to you.
