password entry dialog continued....

i visited netscape communicator newsgroups to see what they were saying, if anything, about this pesky little dialog. fwiw, i found this....

*******************************

"Q: Can I get rid of the 'password entry dialog box' that asks for my password every time i pull up the mail in NS 4.75?

A: Configure it this way...

The flag waving standalone mail utility program - NS Notify.exe
can be disabled, unless you are on a Net and want to check mail
when NetScape is not running. Remove the NSNotify shortcut from the
START UP menu. To enable the Internal mail checker...

EDIT menu|PREFERENCES|MAIL & GROUPS|MAIL SERVER|EDIT.
Checkmark the two upper boxes and type in a time interval for checking.
10 minutes would be good. (mark's note: i like every one minute <g>)

If you want a sound when mail arrives checkmark the 'enable mail sounds'
box under MAIL & NEWS (GROUPS). Click on OK to exit the dialogue boxes.
The mail sound is set in Control Panel. Click the SOUNDS icon and choose
'New Mail Notification'."

*******************************

there is also this preference setting for you to examine...

*******************************

"Close NetScape completely.

Open PREFS.JS with Notepad or right-click it and choose EDIT.

Add (anywhere) or modify this line...

user_pref("mail.auth_login", false);

FILE|SAVE"

**********************************

i assume that you are comfortable editing this file. if not, or if unsure, please do not proceed. <g>

maybe this added info will help. i hope so

:)
