Hi,

Netscape / AOL have been making a lot of changes to how access to Netscape Web Mail works.

I have problems with my account on different days and times.

IE 6 cannot access the account with ANY privacy restrictions set.

K-Meleon, with pop-ups disabled, loops around the log-on windows.

Netscape Messenger 4.79 cannot access the account.
Netscape Communicator 4.79 can access the web site version with no visible problems.

Mozilla RC2 has some problems loading messages from the web page.

For the last few days, I have only had full success retrieving my mail useing Netscape browsers.
It appears that they have limited the mail program access to Netscape 6.2 only.

My guess is that AOL wants to force users to use Netscape, and accept extra advertising and tracking.
I suspect "revenue enhancement" is at the root of this.
(Last week, they had a full screen pop-up when you went to access the mail from Messenger)

i have solved the problem. normally i make manual lan-settings.proxysetting. i have seen an automatic script-configuration at http://127.001.8080/proxyconf
this is new to me. i have now changed to manual setting.
i will check the 127.001 which iam not familiar with.
i will change to netscape, but i like more the favourites being lined up on the left side. thanks a lot. i have purchased-for a client-a p4-shuttle ms51n-ddr-ram, very cheap. i will mount win2000.
