<What exactly happened when it "suddenly failed" ?>
Well, one day I double clicked to open CE on my iBook and I got a dialog
box telling me Emailer couldn't open because of the "connections" file
being lost, or something like that (this is now almost a year ago). I
gritted my teeth and resigned myself to the idea of "no more email on
the iBook," and only did email on my G4 Quicksilver for another few
months. Then I suddenly got the same problem on the QS too. I brought
the issue up to this list -- not sure if it was when it first happened
with the iBook or when it happened on the QS. Our Great CE God Chris
posted some suggestions, which I tried, but I was never able to get it
up and running again. So, I moved over to Thunderbird.
It's been a couple days, so I should mention that the issue I was having
with TBird has been resolved. I still miss CE but unless someone can
actually come over here and fix it for me (I totally lack the patience
at this point to do any more troubleshooting of anything
computer/software, EVER...er, rather, at least for a very long time),
I'll just stick with Thunderbird. I don't love it the way I loved CE,
but it's better than Mail which is reminscent, to me, of MicroBorg
Outlook, and, it didn't cost me any money.

wrong with that? I should be good until somebody writes the
OSX version of CE (As the old song goes, "I can dream, can't I?")>
No Intels for me either! I did get a "new" Mac Mini recently, but it's a
G4 Mini, not an Intel one!

LOL, not an "attractive" proposition? For me it's not a proposition at all!
Okay everybody, I got a list question for anyone who can answer. How do
you SUBSCRIBE to the CE list? I ask because the email address I've been
subbed with is soon to go bye-bye (I finally got DSL). I have noticed
that at the bottom of list emails, it tells you how to unsubscribe, but
I'm afraid to do that without first subscribing under my new email address.
