Netscape 6.2.3 mail notification ?

I was using netscape communitcator v4.79 which had 'mail notification' that would allow me to add it to my 'sysstem tray.' I also had it checking for mail every 10 minutes.
When I upgraded to v6.2.3 of netscape, I cant' put the mail pgm in my system try. When I put it in my start folder, it will open on my desktop.
How can I have this great feature back.
HELP>...

 

Sorry, what is "pgm "?

Are you referring to short cut?
Just drag one from Start | Netscape 6 | Netscape Mail.
Mail Notification does work however, it won't use the default new mail sound you set in Windows.(There are some workaround/fixes, sorry don't have the link right now.)

 

w. young,

The below listed Workaround can be used if you still have Communicator on your system:

Mail Notification Workaround - NSNotify

new mail notification

i tried the link for setting the new mail notification in netscape 7 as listed below by Ramona. I have netscape 4.7 and i have always had an icon on the communicator toolbar, and it always let me know when I had mail.

In netscape 7, it never tells me. I followed the instructions to set an icon in the windows (ME) systray but it has to be reopened evertime I log on to netscape. And I still have to tell it to look for mail.

Please advise.

Thanks

Debbie Soll

again, i can't seem to get the instructions as listed above to work every time. It will work once netscape is opened and the icon is set in the systray, but if I log off and turn off my computer and log on again later, it needs to be reset each time.

thanks

Welcome to the Forum, Debbie!

Hi Debbie,

First of all, I deleted your post in the NetscapeMail Thread. It is confusing for everyone when you double post. I have included that post to the above.

Netscape 7.0 Mail Notification only works if the Mail window is open. See this thread, for a report on Netscape 7 Mail.

I haven't yet tested the NSNotify with Netscape 7.0, but will do so, and post back the results. I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

Catch ya' later,

Ramona

 

Hi broni,

Thanks for the feedback. I won't have to test it on Netscape 7.0 Final, since you have confirmed that it works. I know that it worked on Netscape 7.0 PR1.

Ramona

P.S.

debbie

You might try copying these two files:
Nsnotify.exe and nsmailui.dll from
C:\Program Files\Netscape\Communicator\Program

and paste both of them in
C:\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape folder

It shouldn't be necessary, however.

Hi Donna,

Open Windows Explorer
Browse to:
C:\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape
Scroll to nsnotify.exe
Right Click
Select: Create shortcut
The shortcut you created will be the last entry in the folder
Right Click
Select: Cut

Browse to
C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
Right click on the StartUp folder
Select: Paste

Your NSNotify is now in your startup menu.
