Hi there,

I am using Mozilla 0.93 and also Netscape 6.1. The reason I upgraded to the new 
version (Mozilla 0.92 to 0.93 and try Netscape 6.1) was because I was looking 
for the import utility which I thought would have been fixed in the newer 
version. Up till this moment, I still cannot use the import utility (Address 
Book and Mail messages) successfully. When I run the import utility, under the 
section 'Please select the program from which you would like to import:' the 
only option there was 'Text' for AddressBook and none for Mail messages. I want 
to import all my AddressBook entries and Mail messages stored under Outlook 
Express setting in Windows and the help section of Mozilla/Netscape obviously 
states that the import utility allows me to do that (I have exported 
addressbook from outlook express in .cvs format which is tab or comma separated 
text):

Importing Address Books and Mail Messages

If you have an address book from a previous version of Netscape Communicator or 
another email program, you can add its entries to your personal address book. 
When you import another address book, Mail creates a new address book with the 
imported entries.

You can import address books and mail messages from Eudora, Outlook, and 
Outlook Express. You can import the following types of address book file 
formats: tab or comma separated text or LDIF. Netscape Communicator address 
books use the LDIF format.

To export address book entries from Netscape Communicator so you can import 
them into Netscape 6:

   1. In Netscape Communicator, choose Address Book from the Communicator menu.
   2. Select the address book that you want to export.
   3. From the File menu in the Address Book window, choose Export.
   4. Type a name for the exported address book.
   5. Choose the LDIF file format.
   6. Click Save. Remember the location where you saved the address book file, 
so you can find it when you're ready to import it into Netscape 6. The file 
will have a .LDIF extension.

To import messages or address book files into Netscape 6:

   1. From the File menu in Netscape 6, choose Import.
   2. Follow the instructions to import mail folders and address book files.
   3. If you want to import a Netscape Communicator address book, choose "Text" 
from the list in the second screen of the wizard.



Can anyone help me with this? Thanks heaps.
