[NTLUG:Discuss] Offline mail in Netscape 6.1

[Fred James]

First, you really should avoid running as root, especially while 
connected to the Internet in any way.
Second, my experience with Netscape on Linux would indicate that 
Netscape doesn't treat the root user the same way it treats the ordinary 
user.

Please try this:
(1) Create a new user for yourself.
(2) Login as yourself.
(3) Set up Netscape for yourself.
(4) Try again - I think you will like the results better.

I run Netscape 6.1 on Red Hat Linus 7.1, set up as suggested above, and 
I am not experiencing problem you have outlined.

Hope this helps.
