[newbie] Sylpheed
Hi List I have one annoying problem with Sylpheed-Claws after months of usage. When it goes out to retrieve pop mail and the server is not available, it leaves an unable to connect pop-up on whichever desktop I have working, many times under the open work. This leaves Sylpheed disabled. Until I realized what was happening, I killed Sylpheed. Seemed drastic, but apparently didn't hurt anything. Now I search like a kid playing hide-and-seek for the pop-up. Feels silly. I can't find anything in the configuration that allows me to disable the message, or let Sylpheed simply go on to the next task. I really don't care if the messages are irretrievable once in awhile. Any thoughts? Lee -- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

Eric Whoever Charles is..Please send [EMAIL PROTECTED] to him as well. I've been trying to get that name off of the list since I changed adds 6 months ago. Problem has been that I can't confirm because the smtp has already been shut down.

Next ISOs of Mandrake 9.2 Download Edition will be available for Club Members and all people who have contributed to the new version(including developers and translators), prior to retail packs and public download release. Is this in conformance with the GPL? Does the GPL favor any select group or does it prohibit discrimination and restrictions? The GPL does not force anyone to distribute anything. I can write a GPL program today and leave it on a floppy disk, undistributed, or give it only to my grandma. Your next door neighbour cannot come round and demand that you give him a copy of a GPL program that you happen to have. The GPL only specifies what must happen if and when you distribute. So my grandma could demand the source code, and could post it on her website for the world to download. If you know someone in the Mandrake Club who has downloaded 9.2, then you can ask them for a copy, and if they're nice they can burn you one. Mandrake can't stop them doing that. I hope your friend suggests that you join the club instead, though. -- Richard Urwin I'm assuming the original question was rhetorical? If not, I'm impressed.

I know someone told me how to do this a couple of weeks ago, but I just can't find my notes. How do I change workgroups so komba2 will see my 9.2 cooked box as part of the windows workgroup?

[newbie] mail list
Hi All I've been lurking here since 8.0. I thank you all for making me comfortable if not really proficient in ML. I have a problem which I have tried to resolve with ML and my site host. ML won't answer me and my guy says it's all ML's list servers' fault. Here's the deal. I am about to lose my [EMAIL PROTECTED] because Comcast bought 'em. I have tried several times to subscribe to the lists as [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Sympa server is unable to resolve the host-name for some reason. Other lists with other servers and other general correspondence works perfectly. I know there are other ways to work around this problem. That's not what I want. I want to know why this is happening and I want ML to fix it. I'll probably be happy with the why. It burns my butt to get incessant warnings about the expiration of my Club dues and a deaf ear to my plea. Being a stubborn old fellow, I ain't givin' up a dime, sou, euro, or pence until I get an answer. I know I'm a little ripple in a big pond, but Mandrake sure has a way of shooting themselves in the foot. Sincerely Lee Wiggers Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
