Haim, your path is correct. Under mozilla, you would have as many "pop" sub-dirs as mail accounts you check. As I posted, you better save all your messages as ASCII if you want to be able to read them later. For the rest, I hope that XP has been the last update I bought from Microsoft. I am slowly migrating towards Linux, to be definitive at the second official release of the Novell/Suse version (which should correspond to 1st update of the new Linux kernel). If I add up the time I spent to make Windows work in the past 9 years, this adds up to an unacceptable amount of time spent in pure losses. Apples to apples, for those unwilling to spend time on learning a new OS, there now is a complete desktop at suse.de which includes the commercial CodeWeavers window emulator. Frankly, there is no learnig curve, KDE interface is as easy to use than to step up from Win98 to XP. IMHO, Microsoft shot in his own foot with it's activation/piracy paranoia. Had to buy a full license of MSFT Office, frankly not worth even the upgrade price vs. my old 95 version. The only two positive enhancements of XP are for me: - no blue screen of shame anymore (ill behaved applications close now without warning and disappear from the task list, but the rest keeps working) - new anti-aliasing font techniology, great for people on TFT screens and portables (now available on GNU).

c:\windows\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\hbranisteanu\bm2tl286.slt\Mail\pop-server.nyc.rr.com is that more or less the string ? Yes, that looks similar to the typical path Netscape uses when saving mail. Now should I transfer the "pop-server.nyc.rr.com" to the new computer ? If "pop-server.nyc.rr.com" is the name of the directory that held your mail on your old computer than yes you should transfer the contents of this directory to the directory that will hold your mail on your new computer.
