I still don't like it though I have it on a laptop and occasionally use it to check for client when out of the office, it lacks some of the sleek things CE does so easily, or maybe I do so easily with it, IMHO it is still a slow application and like several other MAC OSX programs does not have keystrokes for several often used functions that must be performed by mouse clicks - very unproductive. Just yesterday I had problems with a client using Mail and had no choice but to move her to Thunderbird, which she was happy to do because it felt a lot like the Netscape mail she had been used to. > >But [EMAIL PROTECTED] is more than a little long in the tooth.

While CE IS log in the tooth, I don't think it has become as frail as you express and it is really not that hard to manage. I have had a few times where I needed to reconfigure an account and occasionally Classic crashes but I have not bothered to find out why yet as it only affects CE and a reboot fixes it. I am sure we all realise the day will come when we have to move on but personally I expect to go down with the sinking ship.
