4.1.9.2 Netscape Communicator Core Dumps If mailto: Link Is Selected

In a Web Page

Clicking on a mailto: HTML link in a web page displayed with Netscape

Communicator’s Navigator web browser causes Communicator to core dump.

This is a known problem scheduled to be ﬁxed in a future release. The

workaround is to start the Mailbox Messenger component from the

Messenger option in the Communicator pulldown menu before selecting the

mailto: link.

4.1.9.3 Deleting Multiple Mail Messages Causes Netscape

Communicator to Core Dump

Deleting multiple mail messages in Netscape Communicator’s Messenger

Mailbox component sometimes causes Communicator Version 4.5 to core

dump. Usually, it requires several multiple deletions of mail to make

Communicator core dump. If Communicator does not core dump

immediately, deleted messages might reappear in the mail folder from which

they were deleted.

4.1.9.4 Netscape Communicator Dumps Core Intermittently

Netscape Communicator intermittently dumps core and returns the following

error in the terminal window from which it is started:

Memory Fault - (core dumped)

This core dump occurs with different hardware and software conﬁgurations

and under different circumstances. Sometimes it hangs for a time, taking

most of the CPU time, then it crashes. At other times, its process has to be

killed and the application restarted. Numerous problems of this nature have

been reported. None are resolved at this time and no workaround is available.

In all cases, the behavior cannot be reproduced consistently.

4.1.9.5 Cannot Delete Mail Messages From Inbox to Trash When Using

IMAP Server

After upgrading to Netscape Communicator Version 4.5 from a previous

version of Communicator, an IMAP mail user cannot move messages to the

Trash folder in the Messenger component. All Delete options in the user

interface are insensitive (greyed-out). Setting the Move it to trash folder

option in the IMAP mail server preferences window does not work. This

behavior is the result of a new feature in Netscape Communicator Version

4.5 that might require user customization after upgrading to this version.
