Just thought I'd tell you I never got my archive CD to display photos, and
found it very difficult to make it work on my Netscape Communicator ver 4.5.
Step by step directions would be very helpful-the ones included did not work.
Win 95 on the machine.

Marc go into Windows Explorer (not to be confused with Internet Explorer) 
and find out what folder NS 4.5 puts the Inbox and Sent files in. 
In my case the folder is called "nsmail".
BTW Set "details" to  "on" in Windows Explorer.

I cannot help you with the full path name as that varies.  Copy the files 
off the CD into that same folder using Windows Explorer. Now the next 
time you run NS 4.5 the file names from the CD should show up in the right 
most panel when you are in Netscape Mail module. Not the Navigator module.
You need to access these files one by one to get NS 4.5 to index them.
When they are not indexed there are "????" in the total number of messages
column. After they are properly indexed the number of messages will
show up in this column for each file name.

Goto Edit > Search Messages to look up what you are interested in.

Optional:
In my case I put a sub folder under nsmail called "all-old-messages.sbd"
and put all the files off the CD in there. When I search I just specify
"all-old-messages" and it searches them all.

This should get you started.
