NS-Mail Suggestions
Jayme Manning
Here are some suggestions for items that I think would be extremely
useful for netscape mail.
1. Capability to rescan an individual folder and run all applicable mail
filters on it.
2. The ability to insert a "link" into a folder for a message that
really belongs in two places.
3. The ability to have ns-mail automatically download the mail from the
pop/imap server every n-minutes.
4. The ability to process mail filters on all appropriate header fields.
5. Add logical operators to the mail filtering process.
6. The capability to execute a command based on the value of an
arbitrary token in an e-mail message.

I'd like to add:
* Multiple e-mail accounts like in Outlook Express.
* Working address book import from other products.
* Modularized so that browser errors don't kill mail and vice versa.
* When replying to a message, you should be able to highlight a section of
text on the original message, then when you hit reply it would be
automatically pasted as a quote in the reply message (saw this somewhere
else)

It would be nice to use Messenger for checking multiple e-mail POP servers (just
like Outlook Express).

I'm missing a "-getmail" command line option to automatically download
new mails when launching Netscape Messenger from an external mail
checker
program.

It would be nice to be able store the POP password for logging onto the server
instead of typing it in for new sessions.

Sounds like a great idea to me.
In fact, that idea is so helpful that somebody cam up with it a couple of years
ago.
I think you can do that in pretty much every version of Netscape.
As I see that you're using 4.05, check under
Preferences | Mail&Groups | Mail Server -> [ More options ] ->
[x] Remember my mail password
:-))
The only thing that is annoying is that Messenger and Mail Notification don't know
when the respective other one is checking and give you a hrd time if both of'em
are checking at the same time and one of them finds your account locked by another
session...

Actually they do, but it doesn't work right.
Biff won't check if Get Mail is in progress, and if Get Mail is hit
while Biff is in progress, it first shoots down the Biff connection.
The problem is, this doesn't really work: when you shoot down a
connection, it sometimes takes a while for the server to notice, so
the fact that you shot down one and then started another means that
the server briefly still thinks both are active.
I think the right fix is probably for Get Mail to wait until Biff
completes, and then usurp its connection (instead of allowing it to
close.)
