Well this is a real old program. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_Communicator
It was last updated in 2002. An OS9 at that. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/3122 I would say support or anyone using this is long gone. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:macgroup-bounces at erdos.math.louisville.edu] On Behalf Of Beth Phillips Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2007 11:03 AM To: macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu Subject: [MacGroup] Netscape Communicator I posted to the group last Friday, but didn't get any responses. Since it was the weekend I thought maybe it was overlooked. I have a coworker that needs some help. Does anyone have any experience with Netscape Communicator? My co-worker uses it on his Mac at home and is having problems. As near as I can figure, this is what happened. Apparently his Mac was accidentally unplugged and when he restarted it the date and time was not correct. (I've suggested he look into replacing his battery.) He said he reset the time, but then he rebooted the computer again later, which, if the battery is bad, probably left the date and time incorrect again. After this second reboot he tried to use Netscape Communicator and it said it needed to update and so he clicked ok. Apparently it reverted back to some old version of Netscape, probably due to some conflicting dates and times on the files, and he lost all the sent messages and address book entries from the last 4 years or so. His mail settings must have defaulted too because he could no longer send and receive mail. So he can go in and reset them and I'm sure Netscape will work fine, but he can't get his address book and sent mail. I'm guessing Netscape saves that info to the local machine. Question is, is there a way for him to get all that back? Or did it get overwritten when he told it to update? He was able to get his mail account working through Apple's Mail and can get his new mail, but he'd really like to be able to get back his address book and sent items. I haven't used Communicator in several years and wondered it anyone else was familiar with the newer versions and knew if there was a way to get his info back. -- Thanks, Beth _______________________________________________ The next Louisville Computer Society meeting will be July 24 at MacAuthority, 128 Breckinridge Lane.
