If you use Windows explorer, you'll most likely see your old Netscape

4.75 directories, along with " users " , etc, unless you installed version

6 over 4.75. If you simply uninstalled 4.75, you may find that you can

reinstall it and have it pick up your original mail, and user info.

I have both, and Netscape 6 seems to use the user info and directories

from 4.75. May be wrong though.

I like some of version 6, but couldn't live with it in its present state

day to day.
