Now that I have a ppp connection with ATT Worldnet (thanks to the good advice I received from this group), I'd like to set up Netscape 4.04 (Navigator/Communicator) to handle my e-mail, but when I tell it that my incoming mail is handled by postoffice.worldnet.att.net, I get an error message telling me that Netscape never heard of postoffice etc. So I must be doing something radically wrong, and I would appreciate some more good advice.

Thanks in advance.

Bill, You have to be online for this to work - both mail and news need the connection to your ISP to set those preferences. That's Netscape's idea not Linux. -- Henry White <A HREF="mailto:henryw@gte.net">mailto:henryw@gte.net</A> <A HREF="http://home1.gte.net/henryw/basic/index.html"><A HREF="http://home1.gte.net/henryw/basic/index.html</A">http://home1.gte.net/henryw/basic/index.html</A</A>> -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
