Outlook 2003 & 2007 do not support direct import of Netscape Communicator e-mail messages and address books. However, you can import your data into Microsoft Outlook Express and then import the data from Outlook Express into Outlook.

The following procedures require that you first import your data into Outlook Express, which is included with Microsoft Windows. After your data is in Outlook Express, you can import the e-mail messages and address book into Outlook.

Important – Attachments are lost during the transfer procedure because Outlook doesn’t use the same method to save attachments as Netscape.
