Why does this message appear at all? ALLWAYS! I was never able to get my mail
with Mozilla 0.9.1 :-( 

When this bug is fixed, I will switch to Mozilla...

This bug appear on new version mozilla 1.2a (alpha test), but does not exists in
previous versions like 1.0 and 1.0.1.

I have the same problem with Mozilla 1.01 and Netscape 7.0. However, when I get
the problem I switch to Netscape 4.7 and all is fine.  Returning to either
mentioned mail client still produced the message.  This morning I was able to
operate for 20 minutes before the error popped-up.

I've had this problem also today. I used NS 7 and the problem wen't away but
only when using another profile. I then downloaded 3 versions of mozilla and the
problem kept popping up too with my usual profile.

I then deleted and recreated the profile and the  message wen't away. At least
for now. If needed I could tar my profile and send it to the mozilla team or the
parts that are important for debugging. I'm afraid that my profile got
corrupted. As I haven't seen this problem at all and I've been using mozilla
since build 0.7 or something like that.
