Ralph with this new version work with IE6 installed on the same HD? -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com )
----- Original Message ----- From: "rb47" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To one and all, I recently found that Netscape, unlike any of the previous versions of the program, has a issue that has not existed previous, and is going to be a *** BIG *** program to continue using it. The problem is that, unlike version 3.x and 4.x, which worked pretty much identical no matter what version of windows you were using, especially with regard to email and news groups, version 7.1 is VERY different. I found, after talking to one of the people at Netscape tech support, that the way the program is now written, along with the way the profiles are setup, that you can not set things up so you can just get emails to a common folder. With 3.x and 4.x, you could have a dual/triple boot windows system, and have the corresponding version, no matter what version of windows, reference the same email folder. So you could get, read, act on, and so forth, your emails, no matter which OS you were using. Now, that is not possible. You HAVE to use ONLY one version of Netscape 7.1, to do email and news operations, or you will eventually corrupt/destroy your emails. Since I will have a dual boot system on my new computer, of Win98 and WinXP, I no longer can get emails and work on them, no matter which version of Windows I am working in at the time. Since Netscape 4.79 is getting impossible to do email operations in, and this new problem with 7.1 has arisen, I need to find an email as well as newsgroup program to use, that can work across multiple OSs. I dont like switching, but with this new issue, it can not be avoided it would seem, since I will be spending lots of time in both versions of Windows. One idea I was thinking about is involving Office, which has Outlook. I have both Office 2K Pro as well as Office XP Pro. One idea would be to install Office XP in both Win98 as well as WinXP (think it can work with 98), so was thinking of using that to handle my emails. I was also thinking of installing Office 2K in Win98 and Office XP in WinXP, to avoid the issue of activation in 2 versions of Windows, though on the same system. Since I have not used Outlook previous, was wondering, for those more familiar with it, can you reference, as I would like to do, a common email location on the hard drive across Office installs, such as I would like to do, or would I have the same kind of issues as am now presented with in Netscape 7.1. Other than the idea of using Office, with Outlook, which am not sure can do what I would like to do, any other ideas of how to refence emails across multiple versions of Windows on the same computer???
