hello again,
I followed your guide lines, and guess what. . . my system's
performance increased noticeably.
Thanks to all of you.
well what's Reiserfs? and how can I upgrade to ext3 file system?
one more query. . .
I have two mail id's ? one at Yahoo and the other at Softhome. In
windows I can check/send mail simultaneously through outlook express (that
is, by creating two accounts) through POP . How can I do the same in Linux ?
Couldn't specify the settings for the two accounts in Netscape
simultaneously. I manually had to switch between them. I also tried the mail
checker in KDE. It can make multiple accounts, but what should I write in
the Server and the Host options.
May be, one for SMTP.mail.yahoo.com and the other POP.mail.yahoo.com. But
again the server name is common for all accounts. I'm stuck again.
Please help me out.
Thanks again.
Mohit Khanna
