I'm using Netscape 4.7 at the moment for browsing and mail - I found Mozilla too unstable. To be honest, I'm thinking about switching to mutt in a console window for IMAP mail, as soon as I get my head around .muttrc. Balsa is way too buggy for IMAP at the moment. > Any recommendations ? > Is communicator going to be available anytime in the near future ? It kind of is, but I installed it by running alien on an rpm, because apt-get told me that the .debs dependencies are broken. > Is Mozilla going to replace communicator at any stage ? That's what most of us hope, I think. > Would I be better off sticking to Mozilla and hoping that the features > catch up to Communicator's real soon ? I don't think so, unless you are an altruist. It is virtuous to test open source code, but it is a pain to work with beta releases all the time, laden as they are with bugs and debug code. YMMV. > > I thought that Mozilla and Communicator are from the same source code, > so why are some of the features missing in Mozilla ?

Many people think this was a good thing, others thought it was throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Again, YMMV. > They do look > quite different but someone told me that the new version of Communicator > looks similar to Mozilla. Is this true ? What's been called Netscape 6 is essentially Mozilla. But to me, communicator etc means the 4.x series and earlier. Stephen
