It's shareware, but worth the registration. I'm using OS X's Mail App now, but used Musashi on my Quadra machine up until I bought this eMac last fall. Musashi is a great email program. The older version that I was using didn't handle all types of attachments on its own, for example photos needed to be opened in some image app, etc. The MacOrchard, by the way, is the place to browse for internet apps.

Okay.
Not that keen on MS stuff myself.
What do you and others use?
This machine (7100/80, 88MB RAM, OS8.6) does four things: 1) Sends files via ISDN directly to other terminals. 2) Occasional web browsing. 3) Email. 4) Acts as a print server to an equally ancient printer.
I once tried installing Netscape communicator but it was s o o o s l o w
that I almost lost the will to live waiting for it to start. I came to the
conclusion that this machine was far too old for the version I tried.
Basically I want an email app that:
a) Can operate with multiple mail boxes
b) Has an address book facility
c) Has a folder system or similar to arrange emails
d) Can handle attachments to Macs & PCs
e) Operates efficiently on on an aged 7100/80, 88MB RAM, 700MB HD, OS8.6
Plain text is fine by me, I have never sent fancy html emails.
I originally used a 'lite' email package supplied by my ISP when I first
started on the net but it had few features other than send and receive.
TIA
