Under RH7.0 all the way back to 4.x I have kept
my nsmail directory for netscape mail on my windows
partition and set a link in home my dir (on Linux) to it.
As of 7.1 and the 2.4.2 kernel, it doesn't work correctly.
Netscape can find the nsmail/Inbox etc but does not
read it correctly (most of the recipients are listed as
blank in the window to select individual messages from)
and when I do a 'Compact Disk' or 'Empty Trash'
from the netscape file menu, I get a message about not
having the correct permissions.
I have always mounted /win in fstab with
/dev/hda1 /win vfat
rw,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=110,dev,exec,auto,user,aynch
where 1000 us my user id and 110 is my group id. I have tried
everything
as far as permissions (all the way to rwxrwxrwx) on everything from
/win all the way to /win/nsmail to /win/nsmail/Inbox etc but still
get the same error. It I tar up the nsmail dir and put it on my
Linux partition everything is just fine. I've tried setting the
mail folder directly in the netscape to /win/nsmail in preferences, but
that doesn't
help as well. The last RH version I had was 7.0 and did an
'upgrade' to 7.1. That's when the problem cropped up.
Any suggestions/guesses as to what is happening. I'm running
the latest netscape rpm (4.77) and was before I upgraded to 7.1
Thanks,
Bruce
