| 493103 | 2006-10-22 05:44:00 | Thanks for the replies, given me something to ponder upon. I have been with IE & OE so long it is hard to make a move. PJ i made the move to firefox and have never looked back :D as for thunderbird, my one friend said not to bother while the other said do. i trust the latter more but really cannot be bothered |

| 493104 | 2006-10-22 05:44:00 | PJ, I moved to Eudora for email about 6 years ago (From Outlook). They have a "lite" version (free), a full version that is ad-supported (free) or a paid version which removes the ads. (The ad is a 1" square moveable overlay, quite tame) I feel a great deal of sympathy for those still using OE and it's overly complex requirements for file management. |

| 493105 | 2006-10-22 06:12:00 | Internet Browsers: Firefox Moxilla Netscape Navigator Opera Gecho Konqueror Internet Explorer many more Email Clients Thunderbird Pegasus Opera Netscape comunicator Mozilla Outlook Outlook Express many more Mozilla! I guess Moxilla was a typo . . . First there was Netscape . Then MS came along and killed them with IE . Netscapes developers all ran away and started Mozilla . Mozilla went along for a bit then they stopped and made Firefox and Thunderbird instead . And lately Seamonkey too . Netscape got bought by AOL so really doesn't count anymore . I stuck with Mozilla . Theres various others too although quite a few really use IE and are just a skin . Mozilla (and its children) are true options, Opera is too but I didn't like its layout . For email theres Eudora too, basic, small and no HTML . |

| 493106 | 2006-10-22 07:00:00 | ... I personally use Firefox and Outlook as I have no problem with OE but IE is just too much of a let down to use (Dunno if it's just me but doing a scan after a day of IE surfing brings in heaps of adware while the same surfing in FF brings nothing). Maybe, to be more precise, IE brings heaps of adware, while FF brings NOT SO MUCH. :D It's misleading to say it brings NOTHING. |

| 493108 | 2006-10-22 17:33:00 | To clarify some comments above, Mozilla is a browser of its own name. It incorporates an excellent email client. Used to be called messenger, now doesn't seem to have a name, but is referred to as Mozilla Messenger or Mail. Mozilla is not Firefox or Netscape - both of which are based on it's engine. Netscape Communicator isn't an email client - it's an earlier generation browser/email package. Eudora free version has ads, but they can be manually omitted so they don't show. |

| 493109 | 2006-10-24 23:04:00 | And to clarify further, the Mozilla browser suite development has been effectively halted and has been picked up by another group and rebadged as SeaMonkey. I find SeaMonkey to be a lot more stable & more configurable than Firefox out of the box, and only needs a minimum of plugins to be useful. |

| 493111 | 2006-10-26 07:36:00 | So PJ, what have you decided to run with, if anything? ;) Probably IE7. I am a cowardly conservative type. I would like to experiment with some of the others. Metla is working on my computer this evening. I will talk to him when he brings it back. Thanks for asking. PJ |

| 493112 | 2006-10-26 08:09:00 | There are some good things in Outlook that OE hasnt got . ie: The calendar, appts . And u can add photos to the contacts in Outlook . I dont think u can in OE . And if u save contacts to an Ipod, it will also add the photo/s . (If its a video, and most probably a Photo Ipod) . And maybe others . Thats the only thing I use Outlook for, once I pay my bills, I put them in the calendar, and then save the entries in icalendar format . A format Ipods understand . So, I can save them to my Ipod . Since I shred the bills once theyre paid . but I still have a record of paying the bill/s . Actually I dont use OE or Outlook that much . If I have to send something I use Poptray's new email option, and type it up then send it (altho that still uses OE to send emails) . |
