   Re-open the Netscape 6 program and move all the mail into one folder   
   with a unique name. Quit   
      
   Open Netscape 7 and create a folder of the same name. Quit   
      
   Copy the file  from the old profile folder and drop it into   
   the new profile, allowing it to replace the empty one there. Ignore the   
   .msf and .sbd (if existing) files, just the   
    file will do   
      
   Why not go to Mozilla 1.7.12 which has many advantages over Netscape 7.2?
