1) Deleting the inbox will delete all mail in it. Same goes for any non-snm file in that folder. 2) Deleting the inbox will not delete filters you have made, those are stored in the file called abook.nab, or abook.na2 (depending on the version of Netscape you are using) 3) The Klez virus cannot possibly affect a Mac. Trust me, I do this for a living; we've used Netscape as our primary e-mail client for some 400 people for many years. At this point, Teresa, I'd create a new user profile in Netscape, set it up properly to get your e-mail and see if you get the duplicate mails. (If you've already tried this, don't bother..tell Cox it has to be a problem on their end...that you've exhausted all the possible fixed on yours.) Oh! One last thing to check. Select View> Headers>Full Headers from Netscape's menu. Look at the message ID for two duplicate messages: it will look like: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' just to make sure you're not getting duplicate copies because you're subscribed more than once...(Unfortunately, list messages may have the same ID, look for two duplicates from a person, not a list) >> > Some .exe files are self extracting zip files, you may be able to open > with stuffit or maczip, not all .exe's are viruses on a pc, lately > they're embeded in .html or .jpeg files. Actually, no, they're not. Sigh. On PC's the files are mis-represented as being jpegs, html, doc, whatever, but if you look at the actual mail headers you will see that the attachment is actually either a .pif file or .exe file. Again, do this 40-50 hours a week on a network of many hundreds of PC's. In 8 years working as a systems administrator for our network, I can honestly say I have NEVER received a legitimate .exe file in the mail; I get up to 300-400 emails daily sometimes. Never ONCE has an .exe file in a message NOT been a virus. Finally, even if it is a legitimate .exe file, it will do nothing more than sit like a lump of cold dead electrons on her hard drive.
