Hopfully Simple Netscape Question
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, dave
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:
