I am trying to import messages and address book from
Netscape Communicator 7.1 and following the instructions
in KB article 242008 but the import for Outlook Express 6
does not 'like' the file location of the Communicator
files.

Does anyone have any insights/suggestions on how I can
accomplish this switch-over?

The ultimate goal is to get it all to Outlook 2003 and
the KB indicates having to import to OE first.
 
This issue can occur because the file format of the Netscape Address Book
has changed from .nab to .na2, and Outlook Express does not recognize this
file format.

To import a Netscape Address Book into Outlook Express:

1. Open your Netscape address book, click Export on the File menu,
click LDIF as the file format, and then specify a file name and storage
location.

2. Quit the Netscape address book.

3. Start Outlook Express, click Import on the File menu, click Other
Address Book, click LDIF - LDAP Data Interchange Format, and then click
Import.

4. Click the file you named in step 1, and then click Open.

5. When you receive the "Address book import process has completed"
message, click OK.
