Sometimes (especially when using GUExpress), you may wish to do most of your work offline and connect to the Internet only when you are ready to send or get mail, or update your files. Netscape 7 includes a synchronizing feature that makes this very easy.
Synchronizing allows you to download email folders you might need while working offline. The instructions below will show you how to define which folders you want synchronized. If you don't want to download an entire folder, you can make individual e-mail files available for offline use, and move into offline mode. By working in offline mode, you won't need to worry about your connection expiring. You can reconnect whenever you are ready. |
