Succumbing to a request to update to the latest version of Netscape, I wasted 20mb of time downloading only to have the unstuffer "unexpectedly quit". You boys pour scorn on IE but I feel the need to run around with one of the major browsers - they are more acceptable to more sites. Anyway, the main question I have is how do I copy to desktop the Netscape mail and bookmarks I have accumulated in order to regularly burn to CD. Or should I be using a program - a simple one please?

Use Camino. It *is* Netscape, but it doesn't suck.

It may not suck, but the intro to Camino is enough to put me off. It says it's in beta mode, has bugs and one needs to backup important stuff. I still haven't worked out how to copy mail to desktop in Netscape, without doing each letter. Can't I drag whole mail folders? And yes, I have studied Netscape help.

Uh, Netscape says the same thing. It's good practise
in general to back up your stuff before you install
new software.

I have yet to lose anything in almost a year of
downloading nightly Camino builds.
