[plug] netscape working off line.

[stephen.]

Thank you for the replys- i knew it was someting like that - i just
could not seem to find 
out where to change the setting - 

who said GUI's are user friendly ?


That sounds like Netscape Messenger is trying to access a pop server.
Edit your preferences, mail server, edit the pop server and turn off
automatic checking. I also turn off "what's related" in
Navigator-->Smart Browing too. In my opinion it's a waster of time, but
some find it useful.
