IMHO move on to mozilla, unless there really is something showstopping holding you to netscrape. *shudder* have not used netscrape for many moons, didn't even know you could still get it?
Still strong: :: Win: currently 7.2 Lin: currently 7.1
<... *shudder* ...> :: 7.0 was *massively* better than any previous, 7.1 modestly-moderately better than 7.0 (In Win; haven't had Lin-Video up to my standards until just now with Gentoo.)
I *need* all past email to remain in use, without any chance of loss or error, and I need all new email to go to the same place, and I bloody well intend, if possible, to use *one* tool to access all of it. Ditto bookmarks, eddresses, etc..
If Netscape/Linux won't share thusly with Netscape/Win, then I will be looking for something else in Linux, or both. Current thought has Opera for both as browser, and I have no email candidate yet -- *MUST* work same in both o/ss! Oh, and I have at least two mailboxes from two different providers, and Netscape handles both in the same screen.
If Netscape will work & share, there would have to be a very good reason to change. That said, I'm certainly willing to learn newer browse/mail tools for real advantage (but not for 'cooless' or 'religious' nonsense), but I absolutely *need* Win & Lin to play nice by using one file-set for both's everything depending on which o/s I've booted into at any particular moment.
Can Mozilla SHARE the Win/Netscape bookmarks, history, eddress-book, **and** local accumulated-mail folders with my Win/Netscape ?
(I sometimes must spend *many* hours in Win to run tools and applications to make money with. These programs (mostly related to embedded tiny processors) are win-only, and have no linux-equivalents, and won't even run under Win4Lin since w4l9x basically does not support 'random' USB devices like embedded debuggers.)
Feel free to jump in and educate me, Nick, folks!
