    I have been using netscape 6.2 for almost a month now and just today developed a problem where it won't delete certain messages.javascript:smilie(':mad:')
    mad Says it is moving mail to trash but doesn't. Any suggestions???? These emails are all from infobeat (a daily news report that comes in email). Not all of the emails have a java script in them so I am really confused.javascript:smilie(':confused:')
    confused Thanks!!

    Welcome to the Forum!

    Hi Mylondon,

    See if deleting the summary files help:

    Close Netscape, and back up your User Profile:
    Navigate to
    C:\Windows\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\yourusername\xxxxxxxx.slt\Mail

    Find all files with an .MSF extension and delete.

    Post back and let us know if this was successful.

    If you still have Communicator 4.x installed, you might consider using it for Mail & Newsgroups. Netscape 6 Mail is very unstable.

    Ramona :D

    Deleting email...still a problem

    Ramona~~

    Thanks for the reply. Tried deleting the files but still can't get rid of info beat mail. I'll just have to use 4.7 mail and browse with 6.2. Funny thing about those mails is they all have a flashing graffic of some sort. But oh well..... Thanks for trying anyway.

    A wise choice

    Hi Mylondon,

    You will be much more secure using the Communicator Mail & Newsgroups.

    Deleting the summary files is about the only fix that seems to work, when unable to delete an email. You could try creating a new profile, but I think you eventually will wind up having even more problems with the Netscape 6 Mail.

    BTW, you can get a Standalone version of Netscape 6.2.1, 8.58 MB, or 6.2.2, 8.6 MB, at this site:
