I recently got sbcglobal yahoo dsl service. Netscape Communicator 4.8 could not open the home page or the email from sbcyahoo. The whole program would crash every time I attempted to open it with sbcyahoo as the home page. Finally, I turned off the modem and changed the home page - logged into the net via my old AT&T account using the dsl modem. I downloaded Netscape 7.0 and installed it - only to find I had to manually transfer all of my email address book. 7.0 is slow in opening the same lists (110+ names) that Communicator opened quickly and easily. And now sbcglobal/yahoo tells me I can't send emails with more than 15 recipients. Yet I can do it through AT&T just fine. I am feeling crazed after four days of working to get this all up and running to find this glitch. The tech guy at sbc said that maybe Communicator could send the large list through sbc/dsl when 7.0 couldn't because of differences in the programs. He implied that Communicator should have worked just fine. ANYBODY - HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Greetings,

Have you tried Netscape Communicator 4.8 with a different home page than sbcyahoo?
There may be some code on the sbcyahoo page that's causing 4.8 to choke.

Try Netscape Communicator 4.8 with a non sbcyahoo home page, connecting to sbcyahoo, and see if your sbcyahoo account's mail access works then.

I do not see any mention of change the mail account to sbcyahoo.
You should have been able to Import your address from NS 4.8 to 7.0, using Tools/Import. And, RootsMan is correct, and you are comfirming by saying that you can do things ok , that there may be something funny about sbcyahoo. I have several setups of Netscape, and not one of them has a homepage dedicated to the ISP. With DSL, you have choice of anything you want, as long as it is set up correctly. The only catch is if sbcyahoo wants you to use a Proxy, instead of direct connection to the Internet, and you have not change the mail set up for sbcyahoo. It should be easier with NS7, since you can have multiple mail accounts. But, if you have problems getting Internet Explorer, then it is a basic set up problem.
DSL is broadband, always on, like Cable, which I have. And, I can do anything I want , accessing websites.
Now, the mailing lists is a different problem. You may have to break the list in 15 recipient sublists. They will go a lot faster that way.

I've always had to break a large email list down, even with NS 4.79. It's my IP that won't let me send large lists because of their anti-spam software. NS has nothing to do with it. Any large list is treated as spam... Perhaps that's what sbcglobal/yahoo is doing, too.

It is the ISP, and it is because of anti-spam software.
