I have Mandrake 7.02 Air and internet connection via LAN / Windows 98 SE (It is Win PC that have the modem). I tried to install Pronto mail with prontoinstaller.pl but I received so many errors that I abort the installation. Do I need to make any special configuration for the internet connection? I decided then, to start work with email, use the Netscape Messenger. It is very easy to make the configuration. Is there any problem to use Netscape for email?
