My Parents Switched To Netscape!

Postby Josh » Wed 17 Jul, 2002 8:36 am

Yesterday, my father reset my family's laptop. When he got our net connection working, IE and OE did not work, so he gave up on them and downloaded Netscape. He likes it and my mom is getting used to all of it.

That's great. My wife and my son have been using Netscape when AOL has been acting up, but they will not switch until a Profile can be password protected.
In fact, all of us are using Calypso Mail which is excellent for this purpose.

I guess "Guest" is Fulvio.

There are Password Profile proctions in Netscape Communicators.

What is "Calypso Mail" by the way?

Correct. And, I really don't care if I get credit for it. But, automatic log in may exist somewhere, but not here.

I never so that in NS6/7 or Mozilla.

It was an excellent commercial mail client, which went under(not where you are), but it is being offered for free to home users.

I could be wrong, but didn't password protection exist with Netscape 6.0? I could swear I remember seeing that in the profile manager...of course, that version was just buggy as a naked guy tied to an ant hill covered in molasses. Btw, did anyone besides me like the toolbar icons that were in v6.0?

Not I know of.
It was available in Netscape Communicator v4.xx
