You will need to do a little "touch up" on these by cd'ing into the
nsmail directory and doing a "chown tony *" and "chgrp tony *" Your
files have correct permissions so just give them proper ownership and
group. Next thing to try would be to check permissions on your
preferences.js file which stores your settings. If you don't have
permission to change it, it won't ever let you do what you need to.
Yours is probably in /home/tony/.netscape/preferences.js. Note that it's
in a hidden directory (.netscape) so syntax is important. You need to
set it with "chmod a+rw preferences.js", and if "ls -l preferences.js"
shows anything besides you as owner and group, change it with the chown
and chgrp commands as above. Take it one step at a time and let us know
the results.
