Have you been switching between email accounts in your settings every time that you wanted to check your
mail.
You may want to try running different copies of your email program each set to a different email address.
Also, another and better way to achive this on some operating systems - Mac for sure, maybe others - is to make
a copy of the "settings" file. Rename this file to the email account name and make sure that it is in
the same directory or folder as the original settings file. Repeat this process for all your email accounts. Then
you can make aliases or a shortcuts of these anywhere that you like for easy access. Eudora Mac allows you to double-click
on these as the program is running and switch between settings!

Some sites will store information about yourself and your preferences on your computer so that they can read
them back when you revisit them. If you're curious to find out what kind of information these sites are passing
back and forth, take a look at your cookie file!
Open cookies.txt file in your Netscape directory. For example, if Netscape is installed in "C:\Program Files\Netscape
Navigator" directory: notepad "c:\program files\netscape navigator\cookies.txt"

The "WHO" command
|
|
You can use the "WHO" command with wild cards to find out if anyone using your Internet Service
Provider is online (using IRC -- Internet Relay Chat). Connect to the Internet and then connect to your IRC server.
Type /WHO followed by a space, *. (star and a period), and the domain name of your ISP. For example, if your ISP's
domain name is gulf.net, type: /WHO *.gulf.net Press ENTER. Where you have to enter the "WHO" command
(and other IRC commands) will depend on the IRC client you're using. If you're using MIRC for example, you can
enter the "/WHO" command at any prompt.
