Comment from new user of PM: Am a system 9.2 holdout... Running beige G3/ 448 mgs ram, add-on usb, firewire etc., I push huge art files around and send them worldwide, do loads of emailing to my established customers and prospects... a few hundred contacts a week... also use Photoshop, Graphic Converter, MS Office, Filemaker, etc., daily and am on the machine constantly and email an integral part of my work and Netscape has been fine (v 4.79).
Am just not seeing point of X's bells & whistle, and ditto newer re all Netscape design changes since 4.79, but lately occasionally Communicator browser doesn't work for me anymore with new web sites... so am considering dump of Netscape and a switch to PM to run with IE 5.1. and now trying PM. Accordingly spent many hours sheparding over a gig of large email records into PM and have been fiddling with it all day... but now think I may be coming down with a sever case of buyer's remorse. Just now realizing how much more I had with Netscape 4.79... PM doesn't allow linking of regular mail text to urls or to email addresses within mail, doesn't notify when messages arrive or even regularly the check server for me without an add-on... And it seems kinda clunky overall compared to Netscape. Maybe I'm just a creature of habit but am really wondering what the point of PM is. I have plenty room for Netscape and IE in my machine, so am really beginning to think I'm better off as is. Can anyone show me where I'm wrong here?
