Judy Richards IT/DIS (for the Mail Support team)
In this article the "Mail Services" team at CERN review some important and useful "tips" related to e-mail on the central services.
Three topics are proposed for this CNL:
1. Displaying the size of your messages in Netscape
Unlike pine, the default Netscape display
does not show the size of
individual messages when you display a folder. If you want to see the size
of your messages, simply click a few times on the
Since the format of mail folders is dependent on the system, it
is not possible to move mail folders from one machine to the
Mail Server simply
using a 'copy'
or 'ftp'
command.
It has to be done with a command that
understands the folder format.
Moving a folder from VXCERN or AFS to the Mail Server is possible with pine, but certainly not obvious! So here is a recipe:
';'
for 'Select'
,
'A'
for 'All'
,
'A'
for 'Apply'
,
'S'
for 'Save'
,
^P
or ^N
as necessary,
Note that Netscape 4 users can move folders from one location to another simply using a 'drag and drop'.
There are four things to try:
"ZapTCP"
extension in the "extensions"
folder
in the system folder.
folder|preferences|netscape users|your_name|
delete folder
"IMAPmail"
.
"Netscape
Preferences"
;
in that case you will have to redo all your preferences
in Netscape.
