mail aliases, mailinglist and netscape mail

I've tried Evolution, Sylpheed, Mozilla, Netscape 6.x mail programs and
I think 1 or 2 others. I still come back to Netscape 4.77/78 when I'm
using Linux because of the lists. I had been unable to figure out if and
how to use lists from the other programs, including the latest Netscape
one! Even importing the list from 4.7x to 6.x lost the lists.
