A Couple of Questions

I've run both Mozilla (1.0 nightlies, 1.0 final, 1.1 final) & Beonex (0.8
stable) under Win98SE.  I like both.  But, in both cases, I've had instances
where my mail/news prefs went south on me, sometimes beyond repair.  So, I
have a few questions before I try with Beonex 0.8.1 stable.  Right now, of
three mail accounts in Moz, I can receive on one, but can't send on any.
And all three news servers I have set work fine for both send & receive.

1)  When I tried Beonex, I still had Mozilla installed.  Are there any files
that Beonex &/or Mozilla places in any of the Windows system directories
that might "confuse" the other & possibly cause my prefs hassle?  I know
that it's recommended to uninstall previous Mozilla builds before installing
a newer version.  Is the same true for uninstalling Mozilla if you're
installing Beonex?

2) I have three mail accounts, of which two are on the same server.  And
usually four news servers I access.  Is there a limit either in number of
total accounts or number of accounts on one server that might cause my prefs
to go haywire?

I like the way the Moz/Beonex mail & news client is set up.  But I don't
dare make it my default till I can be sure I have it running stable.
