Yes. maybe Thunderbird's/Lightning 4GB capability is the way to continue the SM Maibox directly ? Firefox is also the default browser installation with every Linux distro, and looks to have more and easier addons and plugins installations. Some suggenstions/thoughts about +/- for the FF/TB/L combination (integration) compared to the SM suite? Another candidate is Evolution which is the default installation on several Linux distributions, though it doesn't seem to be compatible with the mailbox format directly. And I don't know its capacity yet. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
