OK. I'm nosy now. Can you folks share what email software you are using? Is it GUI based etc? Stable and doesn't change settings to something stupid like Seamonkey/thunderbird just did. To put it simply, I'm considering switching away from Seamonkey here and just may do it. One thing I'd like tho, being able to transfer my emails from Seamonkey to whatever new program I'm using. When I switched from Kmail, I was able to do that, can't recall how now. Just curious as to my options here. May as well learn some stuff while we on the topic. ;-) Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
