User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030109 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030121 If one is in Navigator (but is not connected to the line) and switches over to the Mail page, Mail starts trying to download. It is then impossible to stop this futile activity (futile because of not being online) other than by quitting from Mozilla altogether. This does not happen with Build 20030109, even though the Preferences and Account settings are identical (I have both builds available at the moment, but only one set of Preferences, etc.) Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Without making the line connection, open Navigator and Mail. Switch to Navigator. 2. Now switch to Mail. (Usually it starts to try to download mail.) 3. Click 'Stop'. Actual Results: At 2., Mail usually starts tyrying to download mail. At 3., 'Stop' fails to stop the process. Expected Results: At 2., downloading should not have started. At 3., assuming that downloading had started, it should have been stopped. Mac G3 (old beige tower), OS 9.2.2. Modern theme.
Mac classic builds are "dead" You could try a 1.3.1 OS classic build from here : http://wamcom.org/
