everytime I try to login with Mozilla to my @excite web mail, I get the following error:

The browser you're using is not allowing you to sign in to Excite.

Right now, your browser's settings are configured to disable cookies and/or javascript. In order to access your account, you must change your browser's settings to accept both cookies AND javascript.

How do I change my browser settings?
This depends on the browser you're using. If you are getting a message asking if you want to accept cookies, choose Yes. Otherwise, we recommend that you click the "Help" button at the top of your browser in order to learn how to properly accept cookies and javascript. (You'll most likely be able to enable these settings by locating the Security and/or Privacy tabs found within "Internet Options" in your browser's "Tools" pull-down window.)

Tip: If you are using the same browser that came installed on your computer when you bought it - and if you've owned your computer for a couple of years - we recommend that you download the latest version. Internet Explorer users, click here. Netscape users, click here.

Tried everything and still can't sign in? It could be due to one of these issues:

* Your computer's clock may be set ahead 10 years or more. Your clock may be showing the correct time of day, but is it set to the right year? Believe it or not, this has prevented some Excite users from being able to sign in.

* Your computer's hard drive (C:, most likely) has low disk space. If your computer's operating system uses Windows, and if your hard drive is nearly full, this may prevent you from being able to sign in to your account. You may want to delete some old files or move a number of your files to another drive on your computer.

* Your computer/computer's network is using security software or a firewall that prevents you from signing in. Some security software and firewalls use settings that make it impossible to sign in to an Excite email account. These settings can be changed, so please check with your network administrator or call the security software maker if you believe this may be true in your case.


i can login with IE, but I cant with mozilla, even on different isp's.
It's never been a problem before. Last week tho, when I'd try to connect I wouldnt get this message, but mozilla would bounce from one email server to the next, to the next, etc etc.
anyone else having similar problems?

That error message pretty much tells you what to do. Aren't you familiar with Netscape?
Click on Edit (on menu bar), click on Preferences, click on Security, set Cookies preferences properly.
Click on Advanced, set Java preferences properly. Under Advanced, click on Scripts..., set JavaScript preferences properly.
