Look in your netscape account. Should be in the help section, search for outlook.

Ah you want to get rid of it? I wrote something about this in the AIM section once, the topic was titled “Netscape Fraustrations” or something similar, check that out. https://bigblueball.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=8910&SearchTerms=Netscape

Here it is. Please tell me if it works, I never tried it (I don’t use Netscape email). I just wrote it up, and it should work.

I don’t know what bothers you, but if it’s the flashing icon there is hope 🙂 I spent a few minutes looking through the resources in the AIM files and found what you need.

I strongly suggest that you backup your AimRes.dll file in case you messed up or my instructions are not completely accurate… don’t blame me if something goes wrong, but it shouldn’t. 🙂

First, get this program. It might be a little while to download if you’re not on broadband, since the only mirrors I found are from Australia and Europe.

When you get that, open ResHacker.exe. This program will let you look inside the resources used in AIM.

1. Go to File -> Open… and go to your AIM directory (usually C:Program FilesAIM95) and pick AimRes.dll
2. Click on the + by “Icon” on the left panel
3. If you have Windows 9x you need to look at number 56, if you have Windows XP you need to look at 61. These are the normal icons when you don’t have any mail (or so I would suspect)
4. Click on the +’s by numbers 108-111 if you use Windows 9x or 112-113 if you use Windows XP
5. Right click on the appropriate number for your operating system (for example 108->1033) and choose “Replace Resource…”
6. Click on “Open file with new icon…” and choose AimRes.dll
7. Try to find either 56 or 61 as I mentioned earlier on. If not there (most likely) choose 120
8. Replace the resource
9. Repeat for the rest of the ones needed, either 108-111 or 112-113… note they are different sizes I don’t know if that is important…
10. Quit AIM all the way… shut it down. Then go to File -> Save

If any other modders find a mistake, please post here.
If you have any questions ask here.
Good Luck! 😀

If you are subscribed to the pay services for the POP/STMP servers from Yahoo and Hotmail/MSN, then you can but if you only have the free accounts then you can’t.

You might want to try free programs like http://www.PopPeeper.com or http://www.EPrompter.com to check for new messages in Yahoo and Hotmail/MSN. Or, have your Yahoo! Messenger and Windows/MSN Messenger turned on.

Shut the **** UP. I posted before I saw his next post. This isn’t the first time you pissed me off.
