Hi there
I am trying to make a swap from windows to linux on my laptop. And i have
made allmost everyting work perfect. I have sniffed on one or two linux
distros earlier, and thought i have a go at slackware this time. But when i
tried to set up my mail account i ran into a strange problem. All the
buttons in Mozilla mail toolbar are disabled exept from the "new message"
button. I run Slackware 9.1 with gnome (and i am logged in as user). Anybody
have any idea why i get this behaviour? And, yes, i am allmost a newbie

i don't use mozilla mail, but usually buttons are disabled when they are
useless in the current state. e.g. if you don't have a received message
selected, the 'reply-to' may be greyed out.

comp.tools.unusable or something... ;-)

Thanx for replying, but i think there may be some problem, the "get
messages" button is also disabled (the menu-items is also disabled), i can't
recieve mail, and i'm quite shure that the mail account is set up correctly.
The only button enabled is the "compose" button. So i can compose a message,
but not recieve.....

Have you clicked inside the window that contains the email subjects,
senders, etc...? I can get it in the same state with only the Compose
buttom enabled, and then clicking in that window causes the other buttons
to become activated.

If I bring up mozilla using an account that has not been configured
for email, I get two buttons that are enabled, the Compose and Stop
buttons.

Yes i've tried everything.. only the "Compose" button is enabled, no

write the body of new messages when i compose new messages... And when i
press the "send" button nothing happens, the message window stays open.
