Everyone,

There's one other interesting tidbit here. Apparently, even though my
initial logon/authorization to SBCYahoo fails in Netscape, I can still
compose a letter and successfully send it out. So...., in summary:

1. I cannot INITIALLY log on to the DSL E-Mail account,
using Netscape 4.61. It
tells me that my ID/password is wrong. After I cancel the log on
attempt, I can compose a letter and then successfully send it. When I
hit the send button, I get the password popup again. I type in my
password and hit ENTER. The letter is sent. I sent a letter to myself
from SBCYahoo to attglobal.net

2. I downloaded MR/2 ICE. I can log on to the DSL E-Mail
account and
read the mail. However, I cannot send E-Mail from MR/2 ICE
