In the Microsoft version of Communicator, I don't know about Navigator, there is a Profile Manager, on the Start menu with Netscape. This allows one person with more than one email address to start Netscape with a menu of profiles to choose from. For example, I have email addresses chip@wiegand.org and admin@wiegand.org. In the winblows version I can set up a profile for each address independantly, then I get a menu where I choose which profile I wish to use. It's really quite convenient, and too bad it's not supported in the BSD version of Netscape. > I assume the idea of profiles is to allow multiple people to use the > same Netscape.

I guess I'll have to set up differant logins for myself, or find a differant email program.
