*** Now talking in #browsers
<Jayne> in mail & news preferences where is the server tab
<eagel> let me go look
<eagel> click on the + next to Mail & Groups
<eagel> then hilight which you want mail or group
<Jayne> well it says the news RC directory field,,would that be the 
group server.
<eagel> group is so you can read discussion groups
<eagel> yes news
<Jayne> it tells me to write down the info found in the lower part
 of the window, but on the group server page it has addy for disscussion
 groups and the port and then the discussion group folder ,,would that be it 
<eagel> I believe so
<eagel> are you trying to access newsgroups?
<Jayne> oh sympatico did alot of changes here this week and lost alot
 of the accounts while moving the emails and now we have to reset things,
 and everything. 
<FlorenceF> I tried to find your EaglesNest but it seems to have moved. 
Florence
<eagel> oh no flo
<eagel> Eagel's Nest- the URL for study groups info at
<eagel> http://members.tripod.com/~MCW_2/EagelsNest/en
<eagel> I certainly hope not unless
<eagel> please let me know if you still have problems with Nest

<eagel> can you go pull up a browser window?
<eagel> if not you can pull it up from inside mirc here
<eagel> in the url icon
<eagel> once you have your browser window open cut (which is hilight
 in mIrc) and paste to the address window bar
<eagel> Eagel's Nest- the URL for study groups info at
<eagel> http://members.tripod.com/~MCW_2/EagelsNest/en
<eagel> then hit enter
<eagel> once the page has loaded
<eagel> you need to decide how you are going to save it
<eagel> I save all html stuff in a big html folsder
<eagel> there are some subcategories in there
<eagel> like sounds
<eagel> gifs
<eagel> clipart
<eagel> mid
<eagel> txt
<eagel> and there are also odds and ends file
<eagel> you can also just drag
<eagel> the flag to the toolbar avove
<eagel> that Is where I have it cause
<eagel> I am in it every day
<eagel> done
<eagel> so now you all have at least 1 good url in your bookmarks;-)
<eagel> I am ready to get my mail set up is 
that in a coming lesson correct?
<oz1> I believe so eagel.
<eagel> ok next question 
<oz1> What do you need to know to set up your mail? 
<eagel> well I follow all the directions but it still doesn't work
<eagel> I also use outlook express for my mail
<oz1> All you really need is your SMTP server name and the pop 
address from your ISP.
<eagel> yes I have put those in
<eagel> let me go get the error message I get
<eagel> go on if there are more questions
<z-Jayne> what is outlook express??
<oz1> It is part of the Microsoft Office program.
<z-Jayne> thanks
<FlorenceF> I can compose & send & receive e-mail on Netscape - 
but it won't let me open the address box so that I can transfer my 
adddress from Outl
<FlorenceF> from outlook Express or from Eudora.  Why? florence
<eagel> export I think is command for that transfer  Maybe?
<oz1> Go to Communicator and then address book.
<FlorenceF> I have done that many times & it always tells me it
 is unable.  florence
<eagel> then import
<oz1> I think in the UFAQ it addresses the transfer from Eudora to Netscape.
<FlorenceF> I tried again & it just says "unable to open adddress
 book data base file. Florence
<oz1> Go to this page -question 8  
http://www.jazzland.net/jgarcia/ufaq/section_three.html
-z-billobee:#browsers- DCC Send quickbooks.pif (12.68.165.24)
<eagel> ok this is what I get when I try to send an email in 
netscape Netscape is unable to locate server:stmp.email.msn.com
 The server does not have a DNS entry,Check the server name in the
 location URL and try again.   I have also tried w/o stmp
<eagel> billobee what was that?
<z-billobee> what was what?
<eagel> -z-billobee:#browsers- DCC Send quickbooks.pif (12.68.165.24)
<oz1> Eagel-have you asked your ISP what to use. Mine is a001.sprint etc
<z-billobee> I didn't know I did anything did you get a  dcc send from me
<candyman1> me too, I rec'd the same message from billobee
<oz1> Didn't get a send - just what was written.
<eagel> yes they said to use for pop3 email.msn.com and for stmp 
stmp.email.msn.com
<oz1> Then there might be a conflict with outlook.
<eagel> ok I really like out look but
<eagel> would like the convenience of being able to do in net since
 I am there more than IE
<eagel> all you copy is the url the bookmark part?
<z-Jayne> eagel did they give u the port numbers for incoming and outgoing
<eagel> dont have that written down here
<eagel> I will go see what they are set at
<f_eva_f> Oz can you repeat the URL for the UFAQ. FLORENCE
<oz1> http://www.jazzland.net/jgarcia/ufaq/section_three.html
<candyman1> having several email programs can cause conflects
<oz1> Have you looked at the newsgroup eagel. I have found all sorts 
of help there.
<eagel> well my news server port is set at 119
<eagel> no is that the url you just gave?
<oz1> Did you go to more options on the Mail server page?
<eagel> LOL In preferences mail server pref there is nothin in the IMAP box
<oz1> Does it say POP 3 in the imap server directory?
<eagel> says nothing
<oz1> Mine says POP 3
<eagel> ok will add that 
<eagel> how about the rest there
<eagel> use metscape messanger,,,,,,,,,?
<eagel> check for mail I will set fo 10 
<oz1> What does it say in Local mail directory?
<candyman1> I have had no problems with NS mail since DLing
<f_eva_f> Thanks Oz. I wrote down the URL, Netscape is so difficult. 
I took this course to find out why so many use
<z-Jayne> there is nothing in mine either eagel (imap)
<eagel> hmmmmm
<eagel> well it cant hurt so we will see
<z-Jayne> yes m that pop3 is checked
<f_eva_f> why so many use it. Outlook Express is simple in comparison. 
When I had a bit of trouble with my server, I had to use Eudora a few times.
<eagel> I wonder how you dns in netscape I will have to go see
<eagel> I know how to do that here in mirc I wonder if it means the same thing
<eagel> I am still getting no DNS entry
<oz1> Try leaving out the email part or putting in MCW and see what it does.
<oz1> You might have to close Netscape and put in the server name and then
 open it and see if that works.
<eagel> shouldnt the local mail deliver path be to my outlook mail box?
<oz1> If it goes there you will have to read it there won't you?
<eagel> Yes I would like to only have one place to read all mail I hae
 all my other email address being delivered to outlook express but
 I would like to be able to send email in netspt
<f_eva_f> I think the mail comes thru on which ever browser you are on 
when you look for mail. Mine does. florence
<f_eva_f> But my big problem is that I will have to type in all the e-mail 
addresses until I can find out how to open Netscape's address box. florence
<oz1> Read that url I sent florence. That is what question 8 is about.
<oz1> Where is  Utilities section of the Communicator Program
<oz1>     Group. 
<f_eva_f> My server just cut me off.!!!!  Please Oz check out what I have 
written.http://www.jazzland.net/jgarcia/ufaq/section_three.html
<oz1> That is right Florence
<candyman1> I always log.  I have it set that the computer will auto. log for me.
<eagel> me too but sometime I turn them off when I know a popup is coming and
 forget to turn back on
<candyman1> yes, the crazy numbers !
<eagel> LOL
<eagel> thats why they aren allowed in any classrooms
<candyman1> it is a good idea
<eagel> you can strip some of the code but not all
<eagel> I also have notning coming to this screen
<eagel> all to status
<eagel> less to edit out
<eagel> all the joins and parst and such
<candyman1> yes.  It is less work if someone can delete all the hellos and good 
byes and the entering and exits of people.
<eagel> well just dont have those in there at all to start with
