I have an Intel Pentium 166MHz w/MMX computer and use Windows 98SE. Recently I installed Earthlink's WebMail to use for sending/receiving email after my Netscape 7 email PROGRAM malfunctioned. But lately I notice that email messages are going to BOTH PLACES and I am very confused because I am unable to reply or even print a message from Netscape. It seems as if the two email programs are competing with each other. Since I prefer using Earthlink WebMail, should I uninstall my Netscape 7 email program and hope that my messages would all go directly to Earthlink WebMail? Is there a risk in uninstalling? Any ADVICE is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

jandalI have no idea how you have Netscape set up but I see no point whatsoever in keeping it if you have an Earthlink account and your Earthlink mail is working, which it apparently is. I USED Earthlink for 5 years or more until a change of telephone providers in the area forced me to change to EMBARQ.

You can access your Earthlink mail via their WebMail interface and/or receive your mail in an email client installed on your computer, such as Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, or Mozilla Thunderbird. Netscape won't look for new mail until it's open.
If you're still using Netscape, so you have to open it, you can disable mail pick up, under account settings:
"CHECK for new messages at startup".
