Poco Import FAQ - Importing mail from NetScape

Q: What steps do I need to follow to import my mail from NetScape?
 
A: Use the following steps, in order:
  1. "Delete" the messages you do not want from the mailbox you are importing. Netscape moves them to the "Trash" folder..
  2. Next, go to "File -> Empty Trash On...". That actually deletes the message and erases the JAVA pointers to the message (these are used to "move messages" within Netscape - so even if you move a message to the "Trash" - it's really not gone, as the pointers to your original mailbox are retained).
  3. Next, go to "File ->Compact Folders". That will compress the mailboxes (including the TRASH folder) and resort the remaining messages... Note: A user reported that this didn't work, instead they used the "Compact Folder" button found on the "Folder Properties" from the "Edit" menu.
  4. Finally - import the mailbox(es). The old messages should not appear.
