When I got my NX about the first thing I tried to do was syncing my EMail account (Yahoomail, POP accesed via YahooPOPs!, Saved to Disk in a Mail folder shared between Netscape 4.7 and Mozilla 1.2, which is about the same as Netscape 6 and 7) to Clié Mail. However The Clié Mail Conduit has no import settings for Netscape based E-Mail clients.

So I looked around and tried IAmbic and a few other mail applications, but without any success so far. What surprises me is the fact that my old 105 could sync to Netscape, but my NX can't.

Anyway, somebody knows an E-Mail client for PalmOS which supports Netscape? Any Help would really be appreciated.


P.S. Using IE6/Outlook(Express) is NOT an option because:
a)I've got about 1200 Mails save in Mozillamail, which I couldn't possibly export Outlook.
b) I don't want to use IE/OL(E) because it
1. Is slow as hell
2. Has more security holes then a swiss chese (VBscript and ActiveX, do I have to comment on this?)
3. Supports the M$ monopoly
4. Has %§&$%&§ customer support (I once had a customer who used IE and found a security hole. It took M$ 7 months to fix it)
5. Can't block adverts the way Mozilla can (because it's natively built into the JS interpreter)
6. BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO

I read somewhere that when you sync Netscape/Mozilla, you have to have it also selected as the default mail client on your computer. Since you don't mention that, well, take a look, maybe it can be the problem. There's always that small variable that can mess all things up.

And I totally agree about not using Outlook (I also mainly use Mozilla)
:D

Well checked the MS internet options and also the Default browser button in Moz... still Clie-Mail only lists OL OLe and Eudora

Moma's, and the Popa's...
What do I win???

Now to your issue..
You are out of luck with Netscape...
I to use Netscape Communicator also, and have for 2 months now been going around, and around.
I have a fix which is a pain...
I only need to know what OS your computer is???
I am using XP so this is what I have had to do with success...
1. Create a shortcut on your desktop for Internet Options.
2. Click on the shortcut to open it...
3. Choose the Programs tab...
4. Where it says E-Mail click on the arrow to open...
5. Choose Netscape Communicator / Navigator...
6. Click on Apply...
7. Repeat 4. through 6 again, BUT choose Outlook Express instead of Netscape whatever...
8. Close, and sync...
NOW for the downside...
You need to do this every time you open Netscape's mail program...
If you do the above and keep the email program open, and the computer on then all is well...
If you shut down either the computer, or the Netscape mail program when you have to repeat the above process each and every time...
Again it works for me...
There you got it...
