I don't want to annoy the engineers or slow down the bug-correcting process, but
I don't know where else to list these problems.
1. My Yahoo email page loads very slowly, and opening email is very slow. I'm
talking three or four minutes here. This is not how it was with Netscape. I
don't know if the problem is with you or with Yahoo.
OK i can live with this.
BUT…
2. When I downloaded Mozilla I expected it to be discreet, not affecting my
Netscape files. But I had a problem opening my email in Mozilla (my problem, not
yours, I stupidly put in a password for the security system, something really
simple which i forgot, of course) and when I clicked on my Netscape alias to
open it to read my email, lo and behold I was asked to set up a new user file.
All my saved email, my sent file etc. is gone. This is unacceptable. I should be
able to load a new program to see if I like it without destroying another
program I was using.
You should try to consider fixing this in future versions.

Not sure what to make of problem #. This, however, looks to be mailnews.

> and when I clicked on my Netscape alias to

Changing component.

john, you need to file each of these problems as a separate bug.

Thanks.
