Netscape Mail Really Screwed Up NOW (Saturday 8.26.06) HELP
Netscape has really screwed up now. Since I have both a .mac account, and set up four netscape email accounts, I jump back and forth to both.
As of this weekend, netscape has aparently dropped or trashed hundreds of thousands of their email accounts, while switching over to their new AOL email system.
They only make their email accounts login work for Mac OS 10.3.9 users, running the newer Safari. For all users of Apple OS 10.2+ it seems they have dropped those accounts completely.
I alone, have over three years of emails and linked accounts to eBay and PayPal through netscape. They never even sent out email notices to account users of this switch over.
Is anyone using OS 10.2.8, having netscape email accounts, able to find a way to acces their netscape email?
Looks like I will have to start all over again, possibly set up multiple .mac email accounts. Atleast this way, I will always have control over my email through Apple.
To netscape if your reading this: "I was an avid user of netscape home page and email until this weekend .... now my credo is DIE NETSCAPE/AOL ... can you say CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT?!"
It has been known for some time that Netscape Mail would be upgraded. It is now AIM Mail. Saved emails will have a life of 27 days. If you need them, you should print them as hard copies. I don't think the class action lawsuit will work since the Terms of Use have always stated that any accounts can be terminated without notice. I'd also advise upgrading the Mac OS since future Apple features might require more recent software. Examples are QuickTime 7.1.2 and video capability in iTunes 6.0.5.

Try this - find the /Library/Preferences folder in your user/Home folder and then locate and delete this file:
com.apple.mail.plist
*Caution* - doing this may clear your account settings so be sure to note those first in the event you are required to reconfigure, etc. -
IOS 8.1 Really Screwed Up My 4S!
I didn't want to upgrade. I ignored the reminder for a long time. But last week, suddenly ALL of my apps were showing that they needed to be updated. I ignored that too until I tried to open my banking app and found that it would no longer open unless I upgraded my IOS. So I went ahead and did it feeling I had no choice. Now, nothing works very well on my phone! I am so upset! I'm sure Apple would say, "It's a 2 yr old phone, just get a new one." But I like my 4S. Or I did. Apps crash or don't open at all. If I'm on Google and want to post a link somewhere else, and then I come back to Google, it's been reset and I have to re-do my search and find my place again. It never used to do that. It would hold my place until I closed the app completely or after a longer period of time. The resetting thing appears to apply for all the apps too. For example, a forum I'm on does the same thing. If I leave the forum app to go pull a picture from Flickr or Google, or something, the forum app resets and I have to enter it from the beginning again, watching the ads, and then finding my place. If I had been typing something, forget it....that's gone. Apps like Instagram, Vine, Twitter, and Youtube are hard to look at because they don't scroll smoothly anymore. It even seems that the new IOS has affected my touchscreen in some way because I have trouble using that too. Just swiping to open the phone is a chore! I have to swipe 4-5 times to get it to open! Same with answering phone calls! Typing anything is difficult too because the touchscreen just doesn't work the same anymore. In fact, I started this message on my phone and the touchscreen stopped working so I had to get on the computer to finish the message.
I understand Apple's need to make money and try to push people into upgrading their phones. But when they do something like this...making existing customer's phones practically unusable, it doesn't make us feel all warm and cozy about the company. Apple did not have to FORCE the new IOS on those of us who have 4Ss or even the 5s. It wasn't necessary. My daughter and I both have iphones and right now, we are both so frustrated with how our phones are performing that we're ready to say "screw it" and go buy an Android phone. How's that for instilling customer loyalty? I was just about ready to upgrade to the iphone 6, but honestly, now I just don't know. Why would I subject myself to staying with a company that does this to their customers?
Anyway, I'm going to have to do something soon since my phone is practically unusable now. Thanks to Apple, I no longer have the luxury of waiting.Of course, you and Chris are both right. I'm just really frustrated right now. I do love my iPhone and use it constantly, but this new update has really put a huge damper on things. I am planning to upgrade soon, but I wanted to wait a couple of months since I just spent $1,500 on car repairs. I don't want to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading. I want to get what I want...and that would be the larger storage...and the larger price. So now I'm frustrated because my phone doesn't work properly and I have to live with it for a while. Yes, I have done plenty of troubleshooting. One of my best friends used to work for Apple iPhone support and knows all the different tricks and troubleshooting tips to try. In addition to that, I've deleted several apps, messages, and photos to get my storage down to as low as possible thinking that might help matters. (it didn't) I thought maybe it was behaving like a computer does when the hard drive gets too full and things begin to get sluggish. My phone is a 32GB and I had 20GB full. Now I'm down to about 16GB, but it hasn't made a difference in the performance. I've turned everything off that can be turned off and clear my background apps every time I use it. I reboot the phone a couple of times a day.
Anyway, sorry for the rant. I'm just so frustrated about my phone not working that I'm ready to pull my hair out. -
How to transfer my Netscape mail address book info to my OSX Address Book?
I may have to contact Netscape about this one but thought I would give it a shot here.
I am on a new G5 where all my old Netscape mail was brought over from my G3 via an Ethernet cable and is now living where it should in its place within the Netscape 4.77 mail program which I can access by running Classic OS9 mode.
I would like to import my address book information instead of having to cut and paste hundreds of addresses manually. The Apple mail program doesn't have its own address book (which I wish it did) but uses the Address book application, as you all know. Ideally I would want the addresses right there in mail but that doesn't seem to be how OSX works.
The only other thing I could do I suppose is download another web mail browswer, like Eudora or the equivalent, which maybe would have an import feature. I tried downloading Netscape for OSX but it didn't even have a place where I could drag and drop my mail folders - that I could see - let alone import my addresses from where they live in the System 9 folder.
Any advice appreciated.
Thank you in advance.I have had a look around on Version Tracker to see if anything might help you
and have come up with this
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19382
Product Description:
This is a tool for fixing LDIF files exported from Netscape Communicator 4.x. When Netscape Communicator exports LDIF files, it doesn't handle hard line breaks within the notes section properly. This causes the files to not be imported properly by Address Book. This program fixes that.
Product Requirements:
• Mac OS 8 - 9.2.2, or
• Mac OS X 10.0 or higher including Panther
This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:
• Mac OS Classic
• Mac OS X 10.0
• Mac OS X 10.1
• Mac OS X 10.2
• Mac OS X 10.3
As you have Classic / 9.2.2 ? I thought it might possibly help

When is my mail really outgoing?
This is a copy of my post at http://oyvteig.blogspot.com/2009/04/011-when-is-my-mail-really-outgoing.html - as of April 8th 2009. If anyone has a comment, you are alternatively free to comment there.
I would like to know about outgoing mail
I have this interesting case that when I am a visitor I am not allowed to send outgoing mail with my mail client (Mac OS X Mail 2.1.3) , but I am with my iPhone (2.2.1, April 2009). Both, over the local wireless network at the places we visit.
I don't think about browser log-in and use of browser as mail client for both reading and sending. That always works, from any location. I guess - since I am a known user.
Also, if I try sending mail from an iPod under these circumstances, I am neither allowed. With same mail set-up as the iPhone.
At home
There, the outgoing mail server is smtp.online.no. All users of the wireless which uses that server with my name and password could set up their clients to send in my name. All machines on the net, including iPhone.
Visiting
The network at a friend we often see has smtp.bostream.nu as outgoing mail server. Since I want to send as myself, I have not asked for the friend's log-in details. So, Mail "refuses" me do send over that server, and trying to use the same set-up as at home it refuses me to send over smtp.online.no. I guess it's because the latter server knows the ip address or network provider I use, and then it knows who is sending: it's me, at home, I have paid for the connection: all is well. So, it's not Mail that "refuses", it merely reflects the outgoing mail servers' responses.
My queries
But why am I allowed to send via the visiting wireless from my iPhone (and neither iPod nor Mail)?
Observe that I have told the iPhone not to use the telephone connection by giving it a rubbish APN name - and configured the iPhone so that the telephone provider's server is second to the wifi server. I can see on the mail I this way am able to send from the iPhone that it's routed from bostream's dsl.bredbandsbolaget.se directly to my mail address's incoming server at start.no. My iPhone telephone provider does not seem to be in the expanded mail heading anywhere.
What are the (protocol) mechanisms?I don't have an answer on this.But I'll close it now.

This is what came up on my Mac:. Hope it means more to you than it does to me. I know my internet connection works, because I still get email, and access the net (as I am right now) thru Safari.

1f1a0000 /System/Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle/Contents/MacOS/RawCameraI encountered the same type of problem. Firefox running terribly slowly and slowing down my entire machine (Core i5 with 256GB SSD). Searching the forums, I found a couple of things about troubleshooting performance issues, one of which was to use '''hardware acceleration''', that is on by default. It was turned on on my PC, '''so I tried deactivating it, and it worked!'''
So doing the exact opposite as Mozilla support said solved the problem. It is really a pain now to work with Firefox. I'm using it because I have no choice, but I'd recommend IE and Chrome over Firefox... Whatever, the market will decide once Firefox has become to crappy... -

How do I import my email and address book from Netscape mail 7.1?
I've been using Netscape Mail 7.1 since it first came out, but I'm moving to the Apple Mac world and need to keep my old emails. I've been told by the Apple Genius Bar people that I could do this with Thunderbird.
In the absence of anything to the contrary I will assume a US version http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/3.1.20/win32/en-US/
Thunderbird 3.1 is linked. stable and has the necessary bits. -
My old Macbook Pro (10.4) died and I need to locate from the HDD where Netscape mail data resides so I can import it onto my new laptop, any ideas where it is located? I have tried home/library/mail.
Might be in /Home/Library/Netscape/ or in /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.

when I download a podcast on my iPhone why is the release date missing? This really screws up the sort order.
Hello yung ron,
It may be that your iPhone's set to sync automatically, which can potentially remove any music that's been added to the device. It may help to set the device to 'manual mode,' so that you have complete and total control over what content is on the device.
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod

Mail stopped working. Now get blank screen with icons (delete, file, forward, etc) at top. Then goes blank. iPad 2 purchase 12/11
Try to reset your ipad and/or force quit the mail app
Reset
Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.
Force close an app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
