   Try this:   
   1. Close Netscape 7.2.   
   2. Copy the 4.7 mail files from the CD to a temporary folder on your   
   hard drive.  The files you want are the ones without extensions (Inbox,   
   Sent, etc.; not Inbox.snm or Sent.snm).   
   3. Remove the copied files' read-only attribute.   
   4. Rename the files if you don't want them to overwrite mail files with   
   the same name.   
   5. Copy the adjusted files into your 7.2's profile's   
   \Mail\ or \Mail\Local Folders folder.
