POP3 Email Program

[silver-eagle]

Since forever, I've used NETSCAPE Communicator. It seems that version 8 does not support email via pop3. What would be a good substitute (other than OUTLOOK)?

I use Mozilla Thunderbird. Eudora was always my favorite, but Thunderbird's price is better (free)

John, I switched from Netscape to Mozilla Thunderbird. The transition was very easy and I'm happy with it.

Us three and four. I put Thunderbird on Jann's iMac and was able to copy her PLAIN TEXT email store from her old Windows laptop seamlessly. It's wonderful what you can do when you don't have to deal with a certain company's "innovations.'

I'm hooked! Downloaded Thunderbird. Part of the install included migrating my Netscape 7 mail and settings. What could be easier. And it looks like Netscape as well.
Thanks.

Wow. Didn't know that. Don't want to make it easy for those captive idjits to leave. No wonder Microsoft is thinking about buying them. Birds of a feather.

I had, I confess, forgotten that Netscrape was now property of AOHell. However, I disagree with Mike on the Microsoft Comment. AOL tries to keep you in their realm by blocking ways to leave. Microsoft tries to keep you in their realm by making their realm bigger and bigger.
