Robert,
Thanks for your response. So far I've had still no luck, but you have me a
couple of other things to think about.
This has been a real problem with Netscape. I have lost all my addresses and
bookmarks about seven times over the years. You did not mention what OS you
are using.
OS 8.6 will have to do for right now.
If it is 8.5 to 9.2 here is a solution. Open the system file Folder.
Open the preferences folder. In the preference folder find Netscape. Open
the netscape file and find a users folder. Select the folder with the name
you are using. Copy this to a floppy, CD or what have you. All your Netscape
preferences. Bookmarks and Email addresses are contained therein.
I've been rummaging around in there, and have not been able to find the
address book in question. (I have more that one - don't ask...)
BTW, have not found my most recently opened e-mails either (opened in
4.0.6.) I'm wondering what obscure location those are kept
You cannot just put it on the desktop. It will be changed by anything you
initiate.
Good to know - actually tried to do that
Install the New Netscape. Then put your saved User preference folder into
the new preference file (replace).
Sadly this doesn't always work. The Netscape Email program has proved to be
the best in everyday use FOR ME ... But it is as maddening as MicroSuck
Crash/Ware when upgrading. That is why I am still using 7.0 ... I'm afraid
to upgrade.
Go through your Internet and Netscape preferences very carefully and see if
there is a Check box, limiting the number of persons for your address book
... that may be your problem.
I'll need to check this out
I would also suggest you throw away all the MicroSuck, Opera, Yahoo, Eudora
and any other Email preferences, Extensions, control Panels etc.
Definitely will take another look at this
BTW, having contacted Yahoo about something, I have gone from one spam in
twenty E-mails, to seven or eight in 20 ... may they die with an erection.
Brrr.... I did not know that one could contact Yahoo about *anything*
To me, the main new feature of Nutscrape 7.0 is the ability to print out
your address book. It is a mess with only 4 or 5 persons per page but
better than loosing all the Email addresses. I've been unable to print out
my Bookmarks but that might be cockpit trouble..
Fortunately, I do have quite a few addresses in writing.
I find a Palm Pilot too bulky and prone to damage. Falls out of pocket ...
$100 exchange. Good old Daytimer Jr. (or Compact) pocket works best for me.
It's faster (and more considerate of the other person's time) to jot
something down with a pencil than wasting minutes with the stylus and all
the miscues. The Palm Pilot makes a good data base of address, birthdays,
ongoing To Do's, Air Conditioner filter size etc. in my brief case ... which
stays in the conveyance.
Glad to see that I'm not the only on that has been unable to figure out the
advantage of Palm Pilot over a pocket Day-Runner....
Hans
