Thanks. I thought I was going out of my mind. In Netscape, the following
was edited in Netscape:
Under Edit
A) Select Edit->Preferences ->Identity. Type in the Email address field:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
B) Click on the Mail Servers. Under Incoming Mail Servers, you should
see POP
C) Click and highlight POP and the Edit button. Change the mail server
name from POP to mail
D) In the User Name field, type in: User_name
E) Next to 'Outgoing mail (SMPT) server, type in: mail
F) Next to 'Outgoing mail server name, type in: User_name
In Windows, @Home usually has your last name as the user name. This is
where the password problem appears in Linux. The server is recognized
but you are locked out because the password applies to your last name
not User_name.
I am still looking into this.
