I am using Netscape Navigator 3.08 since it serves my needs. I am
considering upgrading to OE, but I cannot seem to find out how to move
my numerous mail folders. I have looked at Communicator as a two step
process, but I don't seem to find anything in its Help section.

Have I waited too long, or can someone offer some guidance?

Unless it's changed a lot, you should be able to import your mail and
contacts into OE. It may be necessary to upgrade your Netscape first,
though.

If you are upgrading to a new version of Communicator, I think you can
just drag your existing mail folders into the new Communicator user
folder by means of Finder drag and drop. No importing is needed. At
least this is the way it worked for me when I was using Communicator.

If you want to go to OE, then you should be able to import.

You may find the process less painful if you import your old mail into
Netscape version 7.0 or higher first, then import it into OE.

And please don't take this as a recommendation to switch to OE--I certainly
would *not* want to accused of that... :-)
