My husband copied his folders directly from windows to linux using
netscape and it worked out just fine. You should be able to copy the
folders over into your netscape mail directory and read them just like
netscape in windows.
If you want to convert them, I'm not sure *what* to use. The mail client
of choice (if it's not netscape) may provide something for converting
(if you're lucky ;o)). My experience with non-gui mail readers in linux
is that they store mail in text only formats while netscape is some
weird binary crap.
