Architecture Problems...

will repost there.
	THANKS.

	I have used Netscape 4.xx (4.8) for the last few years.

	The default subdirectory for storing all user profiles,
preferences, and email is determined during the setting-up of a user
profile.

	The NICE feature of this is that ALL addresses, emails, et
cetera, can be setup to use the Netscape directory or other for
performing a BACKUP to save email et cetera.

	The newer versions of Netscape, and Mozilla (I checked), by
default store all this information in the Windows directory. Secondly,
it is NOT easy to change to a new directory. Lastly, it appears darn
near impossible to redirect Netscape/Mozilla to use an existing profile
that is located other than the default directory under Windows.

Problem: system crash losing ALL of Windows and subdirectories. Losing
ALL of Netscape/Mozilla profiles!!!

Suggested Solution: MAINTAIN the SEPARATE INTEGRITY of Netscape/Mozilla
Profiles.

	I lost several years worth of email, bookmarks that were
unrecoverable under this system.

	Fortunately, I had a backup of 4.8 files. I have since restored
all but a few weeks worth of email and stuff, AND I've gone back to
version 4.8

	IF this is too complicated a problem to resolve by GETTING the
HELL OUT of the Windows directory, I will NOT be using any version of
Netscape or Mozilla in the near future for my email.

	KEEP THIS in mind WHEN you  SLEEP with Microsoft!!!

	IMHO...
