Not sure exactly what your doing that would conflict, but I share mail with my windows using the following method. This creates a file with the date of the year the hour and minute. YOu can probably figure out a way to do this with the "at" command or cron or something if your really into this. I wrote a script called "woof" I put this script in (in the path) like this /bin/woof I had to chmod it to make it executable. here is the script: #!/bin/bash mydate=`date +%j%H%M` cd /windows mount c cd /home/phil/Mail cp Inbox /windows/c/$mydate This is just MY method. I use thebat! in windows. (it allows import of unix mbox.) kind regards On Friday 29 June 2001 18:11, you wrote:
For the moment I'm using Netscape on both sides of my box and desiring to store the mail in just one location. The chosen location is on drive C in the folder Netscape\DCJOHAN\Mail on the windows side, or more simply C:\Netscape\DCJOHAN\Mail. When viewed on the Linux side in the netscape preferences dialog, the browse option displays it as /windows/C/Netscape/dcjohan/Mail. Every time I try to get my mail (save for once this evening when it all downloaded just fine) I get a Netscape: Error "Default Inbox folder does not exist. You cannot download any new messages."
I can't see what's wrong here, especially since it actually worked ONCE this evening. Can anyone determine what is going wrong with this setup, and yes, the C drive is mounted.
thanks,
