Add your > username for the mail server in there, and it should shut it up =) I don't receive mail with Netscape, only occasionally send mail. "It *should* shut it up." ??? Outgoing mail server user name was one of the first things I filled in. Everything in the Preferences->Mail Servers dialog box was filled. By default the "Incoming Mail Servers" list contained, "pop". And just now I deleted it. Maybe that is the solution? Am offline at the moment so its hard to say if removing POP fixed it. But so far so good! "Outgoing mail (SMTP) server:" is localhost "Outgoing mail server user name" is dkelly, which still produced the error messages. As did leaving this field blank. SSL is "never" Local mail directory is /home/dkelly/nsmail -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
