I need help designating my own mail folders as the location recognized
by Netscape.
I have six computers networked in my home. Since this is at home, I
have no security issues about sharing information including passwords
between the computers. I use Netscape 7.0 and Windows XP. I store my
mail on one of the computers, on the desktop, in a folder named "My
Mail." I have a Bookmark.htm file on the desktop. I mapped a network
drive for this designated as z: drive. My Prefs.js file is currently
located at C:\Documents and Settings\John\Application
Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\kuqhg0l9.slt. I mapped a network drive
for this desgnated as y: drive. When I installed the other computers,
I directed them to this location on the z: drive. I created my
User.js containing the following lines:
user_pref("browser.bookmarks.file", "z:\\bookmark.htm");
user_pref("browser.cache.directory", "y:\\Cache");
user_pref("browser.download.dir", "z:\\My Download Files");
user_pref("mail.newsrc_root", "z:\\My News");
user_pref("mail.root.nntp", "z:\\My News");
user_pref("mail.root.none", "z:\\My Mail");
user_pref("mail.root.pop3", "z:\\My Mail");
user_pref("mail.server.server1.directory", "z:\\My
News\\cnews.corel.com");
user_pref("mail.server.server1.newsrc.file", "z:\\My
News\\cnews.corel.com.rc");
user_pref("mail.server.server2.directory", "z:\\My Mail\\Local
Folders");
user_pref("mail.server.server3.directory", "z:\\My
Mail\\mail.hajicek.com");
I can see that these lines were automatically added to the Prefs.js
file.
When I start netscape I am able to access the bookmarks from all six
computers. At one point, I could access the mail, but now I cannot.
I have tried removing the Netscape program and deleting all Netscape
folders and Mozilla folders. Why is the program trying to access the
empty mail folders that it set up on the reinstall? How do I get it
to accept my changes? I cannot even successfully do this on the main
computer where the mail is stored and where the User.js is set up.
