Problems with Mail and News groups using IE4 and Demon Internet.
Using IE3 I had no problems using Demon Pop3 for Internet mail and news
groups.
Demon Colt being my default server account for both incoming and outgoing
mail.
If the Demon Colt lines were busy I could log on to Demon Energis and when I
clicked on the mail or news icon a dialog box would come up �not on your
default news server! Do you want to try and find your mail or news on this
server? Click Yes or No? I would take the Yes option and after a short delay
the news or E-mail would arrive perfectly OK on my screen.
After upgrading using the Demon IE4 CD. The new installation has taken over
all the settings from IE3 all favourites news groups carried over perfectly
so far so good. As expected IE4 Demon Colt remains my default server
account. IE4 uses Outlook Express for mail and news groups while I am logged
on to Demon Colt all works OK.
My problem is that when using Demon Energis the dialog box �not on your
default news server! Do you want to try and find your mail or news on this
server? Click Yes or No? No longer appears. Instead a different dialog box
appears �To send or receive data you must log off from Demon Energis and
redial Demon Colt� As I am only on Demon Energis because Demon Colt is busy
this is not a convenient option. How can I restore the much better IE3
feature? As it was but still run IE4.
How can I make Demon Energis the news default server. Surprisingly clicking
default on Demon Energis does not appear to do the job!
Please help me with Technical advice.
