Anybody? *Poke?*

(I hope they aren't all stuffed in the same file...)

It's been so long since I used Netscape that I don't really remember.

Try looking in the subfolders for something inside user profiles, or whatever they're called.

Idea: go into your mail client and Save a message, then search for files with the extension it defaulted to.

Only the 64-bit version of XP will recogonize the 500Gb drive as a whole. Otherwise it will only recogonize 186Gb. I partitioned mine like this:
part 1 = 140GB (Win XP - MBR)
parts 2 & 3 180GB each. (Programs & Files).

Just get WIN XP to create 3 partitions on your HD.

@Capnq: It saves it as .eml, but I don't think it's normally stored as that. Started a search, though.

@Xrati: That's funny, my x86 Windows XP Home recognizes my 415GB partition just fine.

Nope, they aren't stored as .eml

Narf, better check and make sure that all the space is available. Your XP Home version may be 64 bit. Mine is an older version so I had to partition it down.

There is no 186GB limit in Windows at all, let alone any difference between 32 and 64-bit Windows in file/volume size constraints (GUID partition table disk partitioning, which can expand capacity up to 18 Exabytes is available on 32-bit Win2003 SP1 as well as 64-bit Windows). There was a 128GB disk limitation due to BIOS addressing present up to Windows 2000 SP3/XP SP1 (see Hard Disk Drives Capacity Limits: Hardware Limits, 48-Bit LBA Support for ATAPI Disk Drives in Windows 2000 and How to enable 48-bit Logical Block Addressing support for ATAPI disk drives in Windows XP).

The only reason for seeing just 186GB "recognised" is if you created/formatted a partition of this size in Disk Manager, leaving the rest of the disk unused.

Next time you send or receive an email in Netscape, try doing a search for files last modified within the last few minutes. That should turn up the files used for storing emails.

I suspect that Netscape uses exactly the same profile folder setup as Mozilla, seeing as it is just a rebranded Mozilla now... Presumably they store emails in each profile folder. Look under:

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Mozilla\Netscape\Profiles

Or something to that effect. You should be able to just copy the entire Profiles folder from the old install to the new install, and get your browser restored to exactly the same state (it worked for FF on my laptop). I see no reason why Netscape would have bothered wasting development resources on altering the Profiles.

Thanks, that gives me an idea on how to fix it.
