I had a similar (I think) problem at home with Netscape a year or so 
ago.  The desktop at home is XP Pro.  I had 5 users set up in Netscape 
(me, wife, 3 boys).  For inexplicable reasons, I would from time to time 
lose everything in Netscape.  Address book, message filters, inbox 
subfolders, you name it.  Each time I had to set up my account all over 
again.  From scratch.  I would try to copy the .nab file in with no 
luck.  When stuff like that starts happening to your _wife_ you're in 
REAL trouble. <g>  I finally gave up and switched to Outlook and IE at 
home on the desktop.  The laptop at home and my desktop at work (both 
W2K) work flawlessly with Netscape, even though the laptop also has all 
5 users set up.  Must be something to do with XP Pro but I sure don't 
know what.

Sorry that this is no help.

Same here.
