I have been using a ver. of Netscape that I thought was 8.0 for monthes. It worked flawlessly and although I am a confirmed Firefox user, I preferred using Netscape for monitoring multiple investment accounts. I enjoyed the passcard fill and submit feature and the fact that all my logins were protected by a master password. Then yesterday I did something really stupid. When Netscape offered an update I said OK. I found myself stumbling around in ver. 8.1 dodging error prone dll's, freezes and Windows crashes. When it actually worked the passcard submit feature NEVER worked, only fill for manual login. Then today the passcard bar (or whatever they called it) disappeared. I've since removed and reinstalled every 8.x I could find and I'm here to tell you nothing works. No websites except some text. Firerfox 1.5, Netscape 7.2, Communicator 4.78 and IE6.0 all still work fine. I've used (and bought) Netscape browsers long before I ever used Mr. Softy's, but am I getting what I paid for?

If you prefer Netscape 8.0, you can get v8.0.4 (the last in the 8.0 series) from Netscape browser archive here at SillyDog701.

I tried 'em all: 8.0, 8.0.1, 8.0.2, 8.0.3, 8.0.4 Nothing worked and/or recreated what I had before my foolish acceptance of an unproven upgrade took it away. BUT since my last post I did manage to restore 8.1 (on the fourth download) to it's glory hours of yesterday. Still no auto fill and submit and most of the features in the passcard help section refer to last years version and are nonfunctional. I guess for me this "upgrade" is a retrograde.

Literally overnight my Netscape 8.1 deleted all of my email settings and now the email manager won't add anything. Anyone know how to deal with this?

I did not, quite, get an answer, but you seem to imply that the settings you had entered for the Webmails are gone. Like you had the Webmails working, and then it was not.
I have never seen anything like that, but it indicate that some file of your profile are corrupted. I would try with one type of account, and see if it holds up, at least from one day to the next. I have gone through all updates of NS8.x, and, I have had NS8.1, and I can get Yahoo and Netscape webmails.
