e-mail password

I don't use Netscape 6.2 but Mozilla 1.0rc3 may be similar. This is from Mozilla Help:
===========================
Turning Password Manager On and Off

Password Manager is on by default. To turn it off:

1. Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
2. Under the Privacy & Security category, choose Passwords. (If no subcategories are visible, double-click Privacy & Security to expand the list.)
3. In the Password Manager section, deselect "Remember passwords for sites that require me to log in" to turn Password Manager off.

To turn Password Manager on, follow steps 1 and 2 above, but select the checkbox in step 3 rather than deselecting it.

Managing Stored Passwords

To see a list of the user names and passwords you have stored:

1. Open the Tools menu, choose Privacy & Security, and then choose Password Manager.
2. Select Manage Stored Passwords from the submenu. You see the Password Manager window.
3. Click the Passwords Saved tab. You see a list of all the stored sites and user names. (Passwords are not listed.)
* To remove a user name, click it and then click Remove. The next time you visit the web site, you will need to enter your user name and password again, since Password Manager will no longer have the information.
* Click the Passwords Never Saved tab to see a list of the web sites for which you instructed Password Manager never to store user names. To remove a web site from this list, click it and then click Remove. The next time you log into the web site, you can use the stored user name and password (if available) or indicate that you want Password Manager to save the information for that site.

You must click OK for your changes to take effect.

When I installed 6.2 it setup the netscape email account as the one to go check imediately when bringing up the email program. Well I did not know this so when it asked for my password I put in the one for my other account, and checked the box to remember it in the password box. Well it is wrong, it tells me it is wrong every time I hit the netscape email account, but it does NOT allow me to change it. So how do I correct it????

EDIT / Prefs / Privacy and Security / Web Passwords / View Stored Passwords

Scroll the list until you find your mail account, hilite it and REMOVE.
========================
I don't use Netscape 6 or 7 but I'm assuming that, once you remove the stored password for your Netscape mail account, the next time you acccess your Netscape mail, you will be asked to enter your password. If you are asked to store it, say "never for this site "

 

Broni,

Glad to hear it worked out.
