Peter:

Pay attention; Tools\Message filters.
I have been filtering on your keys since you posted them. Works fine.
Added a few since then.

And there is nothing to convert. Put your NS mail in a dedicated
directory. This probably doesn't apply to you, but I always had NS on
FAT16. There were no issues unless you made mail files (folders) more
than eight characters. It could handle long file names on FAT16, but
sometimes would get confused and truncate them. I now keep mail on HPFS
or FAT32.

Point NS at the new location. Point MozMail at the same location.
Transition as you are comfortable.

I too put numbers in front of folder names to force them to the top.
