Re: Help! Need email recommendation
Exactly what you say about NetCOMM is what keeps me using my version (4.79 for the Mac), altho' I'm aware that it's a dead end product. It's official that it will not be supported with upgrades or bug fixes any more. One of the Mozilla products (http://www.mozilla.org/) will take up the slack, however, and those folks are adamant about the quality of the product... so maybe we won't really be left out in the cold after all! keith whaley Ann Sanfedele wrote: Chris Brogden wrote: Now that my university email account is expiring, I'm going to need to get a different address through another provider.

The index is nice too. annsan

Or you could use Linux instead of W98 or use them both with a dual boot.

I'm not sure if they have ssh access or not. TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ

Chris, After trying quite a few, I found The Bat from www.ritlabs.com most to my liking for interface and features. I have had a lot less problems with it (basically none), compared to MS Outlook Express.

I use Hotmail for PDML only, and it is fine except it got trillions of junk mails each day. MS must be selling our email addresses for money. For reliable and personal emails, I use Yahoo.
