1. Check to see if you are leaving the messages on the server--in NS you'll find it under Edit|Preferences|Mail&Newsgroups|MailServers|IncomingMailServers|(select you server)|Edit|POP I don't know about the other. 2. You may not have the "remember password" option checked in NS. Windows clients configure this by default. (Instead of the POP tab, see the General tab from above) I couldn't find any option to toggle mail-client authentication, maybe NS tries this regardless? Aside from this I couldn't tell you, but I really don't think it's "Mandrake" that ill-configured. i don't use either of the mail-client for personal use--I got stuck with Outlook "long" ago, and have just too large an archive to transfer to my Linux box. Sorry in advance if this wasn't good enough. --Greg > Hello, > > I am new to the list, and looking forward to reading everyone's comments. > > I have a problem with Mandrake 7.0. > > I have two harddrives, one with Windows and the other Linux.
