  Creating additional profiles in Mozilla 1.2:

Suppose you have several people in the household using the same computer.  If every e-mail address were configured under the same profile, all the e-mail would be downloaded into the same place.  You would then have to sort through the e-mails finding which belonged to you and which belonged to any other user.  Profiles eliminate this hassle.  Creating a profile is like having your own version of Mozilla; they help keep your mail from any other users of the computer.

Important:  to create a profile, Mozilla must be closed.

Click Start, click All Programs ('Programs' (95,98,Me,NT,2000)), select Mozilla, and then the Profile Manager from the menus.

The Mozilla Profile Manager appears.

Here you can create, rename, and delete profiles.

Click Create Profile.

 

The Create Profile wizard launches.

Click Next to continue.

 

Enter new profile name  =  Give the profile a name.  In this example, I gave the profile the name 'John Boy'.

Click Finish.

 

You now have a new profile.  When Mozilla starts, you'll see this screen.  Select your profile and click 'Start Mozilla'.

Important:  you still need to create an e-mail account for this profile.  To learn how to create an e-mail account, click here.
