what's this netscpae 4.x bashing I see repeatedly? IMO it's a fairly good email client, stable (well, as stable as browser and it's really only stable when you disable java), has the main MUA features... I use it as my main MUA and the only problem I can see is that it does not check all the IMAP folders for new eamil (it only checks INBOX). It has one huge advantage over outlook though - it can open a URL in new window which seems impossible in outlook. netscape is pretty basic as far as functionality goes but we're talking about outlook replacement, not mutt replacement... I have tried most of other main MUAs available that support IMAP (evolution, kmail, mozilla, mutt etc.) and still find netscape 4.x most useful - most other are fairly unstable (most gui based ones), not likeable (pine, but that's just personal preference) or have other important problems... about the only one I haven't tried is gnus... erik
