Hi, Ted,

You lost me here. During a visit to my dad's, I downloaded the
Transition Wizard for him, since he doesn't know how to make the mail
server changes in his mail client (OE) manually, and walking him through
the changes on the phone is not possible. My dad runs NAV.


I understand that NAV uses it's own mail locations, but I don't
understand why NAV has to be turned off when the mail server name is
changed in the mail client, either automatically or manually. Can you
elaborate?

Sincerely,
Bruce

Let's see if I can clarify this a little.

Before installing NAV, OE gets mail from pop server a.

During installation NAV sets itself up to get the mail from pop server a,
and modifies OE to get it's copy of the mail from the NAV proxy server.

If you leave NAV set to get/scan the email when you run the Transition
Wizard, it will modify the settings for OE to get the mail from pop
server b. Nav will still be set up to get mail from pop server a.

By uninstalling the Nav email before running the Transition Wizard,
the Transistion Wizard will modify OE to get it's mail from pop server b.
When you then reinstall the NAV email scanning, it will set itself to
get the mail from pop server b, and again modify the settings for OE
to get it's mail from the NAV proxy server.

I don't use either product, so I may well be wrong, but this is what
seems logical to me.

Dave, Ted, thanks much. I understand, and yet I need one more
clarification, as I myself don't run NAV. Does NAV have to be uninstalled,
or simply disabled/turned off? If turned off, I imagine it's a simple
right click on the sys tray icon, etc...

Oops, one more...Instead of disabling, would simply restarting twice do the
trick? Once to transition, and then restart again for NAV to pick up the
POP change?

I'm trying to avoid a trip, but I may just have to drive to my dad's (120
miles) on June 30 to do this for him.



Thanks again, both of you,
Bruce

I would expect disabling would restore the pop server settings in OE.
Then you'd run the Transistion Wizard to update the settings in OE.
Then enabling the email scanning would cause NAV to pick up the new
pop server settings, and reset the settings in OE to pick up
its mail from NAV.

As above, I don't use either product, so this is just speculation
based on how I think it works. Hopefully Ted, or someone else who
is more familiar with these two products will respond.

David, What version of NAV are you talking about? With NAV 2003, this
changing of OE settings is not occuring - it looks like they're
transparently capturing the network traffic to do the mail filtering,
rather that explicitly changing the mail client settings. This is a
benefit, since it'll work with ANY POP3 client. Perhaps this is because
I'm running Norton Internet Security rather than just NAV?
