this is my uncle's band new computer & of course it is running Vista & i know nothing about Vista.  I installed Netscape 7.2 because that was what he was use to .  Set up the mail, & received mail.  Left.  He called & said he doesn't receive mail.  Of course the service he is using only works 8-5 m-f.  I tried Seamonkey, love that it looks like Netscape, it brought over all the info from Netscape automatically.  Still no mail.  I have unistalled & reinstalled as Administrator.  Even tried another email account.  I think this a Vista thing, but know nothing about Vista.  This is also a dial up account (slow), but no problems there.

thanks for any help you can supply.

Maybe any Personal Firewall blocking Netscape and SeaMonkey?

No reply from reporter.

NS7.2 is not our product (and is maybe even older).
Anyway, this "bug" issue is reported as broken in NS7.2, even before installing SeaMonkey !

R.Incomplete

Reopen if you can reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9.
