sorry to ask here..

[Frances Del Rio]

I lost my Netscape profile this afternoon, was using N client for both
e-mail and news.. (this happened after I dl'd FF and Mozilla, b/c I
needed to test some stuff on them (this was at work..) profile IS there,
I know where to look for it (am on W2000) this is not the 1st time this
happens to me w/Netscape... so: would like to find another e-mail/news
client.. I know there are lots of them out there, but I like to use same
client for both news and e-mail, and also like that in Netscape client
you can type phrase on top of window to search for articles (you can't
do that in Outlook for Windows..) so: anybody know of any freeware
clients out there that support POP, SMTP, AND NNTP connections? sorry
to ask here, couldn't think of a more appropriate spot.. thank you very
much.. Frances

You're right, this isn't the right ng for this kind of thing, but I'll
answer anyway.

I was a die-hard mozilla suite user for a long time (years!). I was
seriously dismayed when I heard mozilla was going to discontinue the
suite and concentrate on just separate browser and mail-news clients. I
didn't think it possible to convince me that separate apps could be a
good thing, at least for me.

Having said that, try the Firefox/Thunderbird combination. They work
very well together. You won't even notice they're separate apps. I just
wish transfering profile data from mozilla to FF/TB was less painful. My
sister needs to make the switch, too, and I don't relish rebuilding her
profiles. :(

There is Thunderbird, the mail/newsgroup client.
<http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/>
The Mozilla suite has a browser, mail/news, html editor, and IRC.
Both provide SMTP, POP3, IMAP, NNTP in mail/news.

Ummm...Mozilla? It's effectively Netscape (I assume you're talking about
version 6 or 7) without the crud (though NS is based on older versions
of Mozilla). Or, if you are only looking for a news/email program, not a
browser as well, try Mozilla Thunderbird.

Add another vote for Thunderbird. I love it.
