Re: [newbie] Netscape/password
Same here...they are two different passwords. As they should be :) That way if someone can get into your connection, they still can't get into your mail ... unless you have it set to remember your password.

Sounds like a good idea to fix that :) Bambi Darryl Gibson wrote: Fran Parker wrote: Same here...they are two different passwords.

Ok, now I understand what is happening. My root, ISP, and e-mail passwords are the same. I suppose, now that I'm a newbie, I should become a little more secrurity concious?

When netscape ask for a password to retrieving mail from the net (ISP) this means OMHO that the 'remember my password' on the 'edit' of 'pop.yourISP' (or imap) is not set.

Title: RE: Re[2]: [newbie] Netscape/password Good question, on my machine it is the ISP password, that's where Netscape goes to get mail. In thinking about it I would say that the password should be what is required to connect to the POP3 or IMAP. So, it may be either the ISP or the mail server password they could be one and the same. This may be as clear as mud, but I hope it is understandable.

[newbie] Netscape Password Issues
Every time I go to a website that requires a password after I enter the username and password and hit enter it closes Netscape. Has anyone had this problem? Paul Apostolos Manager of Internet Development [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nrca.net
