2003. I have found that older versions of Netscape can be imported into
Outlook Express and can then be imported by Outlook. In my version of
Netscape , the email data was stored in the Windows directory beginning with
.../Application Data/Mozilla/my netscape username/... All the files and
folders on mine were over 450MB (includes email attachments, I guess) The
address book has a .mab extension where Outlook wanted a .nab Anyone who
discovers a fix for this is a hero.

Address book - export as LDIF which Outlook can import.

Mail - Download and install either Netscape 4.x (preferred because of
attachment issues) or Eudora.
Copy all your mail files from NS 6 (the ones WITHOUT the extension) into
your new mail client. launch the mail client. open each mail file. This will
build the index files.
Then, in Outlook, do the import.

HTH
