| 249457 | 2004-07-03 08:56:00 | I've used them all Rosie,and I now soley use Opera. It does have mail facility as part of it, and you don't need to travell around looking for a specific plug in for different sites,like you have to constantly have to with Firefox etc.I sure got tired of having to do that. As for speed,it's on par,or faster than the others,but leaves IE standing. Hook |

| 249458 | 2004-07-03 09:02:00 | For free (and advert free) give Firefox 0.9 and Thunderbird a try or for a little more convenience in setting up browser and email together Mozilla is good. I haven't tried MY-IE but have heard it can cause some of the same issues as IE which it essentailly is with add-ons. People swear by Opera, the latest has a new built in email client and wemail is available but, the free version is supported by adverts the paid version is not. Why not give them all a try. It will boild down to personal preference and what works for you/your need are. Cheers Murray P |

You're dead right Murray, I have the free version,and the only add is a small insignificant one on the right of the tool bar.You get a choice of who places their adds there,I opted for the google adds. The beauty of the email is I just click on the icon on the toolbar,and I'm set to go. Still,I reckon everyone has their favourites,and endeavor to support what they use.Like me. Hook. |

| 249461 | 2004-07-03 10:47:00 | Hello Rosie 1, Computers are alien to me but two years ago I was given an old pc with Win 95. This was mindboggling -please don't laugh- but the hdd died and like you I thought that there has to be a better OS than IE etc. Hence the foray into Linux. The PC I purchased came with CD's to install Mozilla with KDE desktop. Again I was all at sea, but that was just me, not Mozilla. If, unlike me, you know anything at all about computers, then you will have no problems with Mozilla's GUI and web-browsing and emails will be easy-peasy. If I can do it in Mozilla I can guarantee anyone can. I am afraid that I know zilch about Firefox, Opera etc so cannot comment on them. Hope that my 2 cents worth is of use to you. LenD |

| 249462 | 2004-07-03 11:15:00 | One problem I had with Mozilla was with my network (wireless); I installed Mozilla on my laptop and found that browsing was a total shambles, same with Firefox. But IE worked fine as did MyIE2. I made posts to this site, but no one could really help me. Then one evening in a flash of inspiration I found, from the Mozilla help site (I think Linux Guru's used to say RTFM), that my "Proxy" server might be causing a problem and by going to Edit - Preferences-Advanced-HTTP networking and changing HTTP 1.1 to HTTP 1.0, the problem was solved. There are some quirks with Mozilla, but once I got used to them it was fine and I quite like it as a browser and e-mail client. My son, the programmer prefers it for his work. Another thing, from Tools - Cookie Manager, just be aware of the settings there as some passworded sites might not work unless you allow cookies. I've found I still have to have IE for some things, but I might get rid of MyIE2 off the laptop. |
