Re: [newbie] Netscape mail problem
Yes, I can browse the web; as for the mail settings, I used the same ones that work in window$ (except for having to deal with an error message, "Netscape is unable to use the mail server because you have not provided a username". The current problem surfaced as soon as I got past this.
Re: [newbie] Netscape mail problem
Maybe if you tried to upgrade your communicator you would meet with success. Isn't there a new version out? You could use KFM to get there to get it. On another note, I think the Mandrake people deserve a lot of praise..this is the best distro i've ever used! It's fast, too...much faster than win'blows on the same machine...I'm really impressed. I've even gotten my TV working on my ATI all in wonder card! I was amazed! Mark - Original Message - From: Joseph S.

I've even gotten my TV working on my ATI all in wonder card! I was amazed! Mark Hav'ta agree. After a year's absence from Linux (RH5.1 for several months was my only other experience), for Mandrake an' Linux in general, it's clap clap clap, hip' hooray!! needless to say, I enjoy the hell out of it. I'd even go so far as to say the install and maintenance is easier than Windows now Nutscrape, that's a different story .. My best advice is to go with 4.7 and _don't_ install Communicator. jus' Navigator. I like SO for news, and Kmail, with either, it's no problem to clk on a link and see what's referred to, KFM does well. I've also run Agent (usin Wine) and don't see what the fuss's about. It's good for grab'n multi-part binaries off NG's, but that's about it. Kernel 2.2.13-28mdk (Cooker) is the best one so far for me -- .. Tom Brinkman[EMAIL PROTECTED] .

When I start NS from a console window, and it crashes, I get the message "Bus Error" You should try doing this as well to see if we get the same message. I have also resorted to saving password in NS Messenger to overcome this problem. I am also very sure that it has got nothing to do with my mail settings; it happens randomly and sometimes more than others. Upgrading doesn't seem to help as well. I have tried L-M6.0 with NS 4.6 to 4.7 on my notebook and L-M6.1 with NS 4.6 and 4.7. I have also encountered occasions where Netscape itself takes about a couple of minutes to start. It comes up blank and the botton bar show "Reading File". My initial reaction was that it was waiting to connect to the server, etc. Apparently not, as my NS starts up with the generic L-M page which is actually a file on the HD. Would be most grateful if someone has got a real solution to this.
