   Generally, most mail applications do not export their data.  Rather,   
   other applications import that data. The mail can be imported into   
   Outlook Express, or Netscape 7.2.   
      
   A sample scenario might be, install Netscape 7.2 on the old machine.   
   Use its Profile Manager to convert the NC 4.04 profile for NS 7.2 use.   
   Then install NS 7.2 on a new machine, and follow the following procedure   
   to transfer the profile:

   I am sure you could import the mail into OE and transfer it, but I do   
   not know how that would be done. The mail is saved in files with .dbx   
   extensions, and I think you could save those files, transfer them to the   
   new machine, then use OE to import them.   
      
   If this is a small number of old messages that actually need to be   
   saved, it might actually be easier simply to forward them to yourself.
