Re: netscape-help!!
Well I don't have any exact error, but I'm having some strange
occurances now. I thought I had the problem fixed by downgrading, but
then it started up again. Here are my observations.
Fetchmail has been able to download most messages if netscape "freezes"
The freeze seems to a stall the download(I've wait a long time for
progression before)
One time I got all my msgs with fetchmail, and netscape still said some
were on the server, none there were according to fetchmail. I also
noticed everytime I sent a msg to the server to test it out(I was using
mailx to send the test message), netscape would add one message to the
count even if I download the test message with fetchmail
Recently I was downloading 300 some message from my pop server and the
download froze on msg 39. I tried getting them, but fetchmail told me
none were there (where do 300 messages go???)
If neither work netscape under win95 works fine(I don't like to use it)
I one got some strange messages, one day about "THESE ARE IMRPORTANT
EMAIL FILES, THEY ARE NOT MESSAGES, DO NOT DELETE THEM" win95 downloaded
and I expect erased them anyway...
Here's what I have done recently. Erased and reinstalled netscape.
I left the .netscape alone, since I've already tried clean out anyway.
I replaced smail wtih exim.
I don't suppose netscape writes to logs? I have seen anything that
would indicate this....
