Subject: [IMail Forum] [UPDATE] - IMail 2006 WebMail Mac Support...


Hi All,

So after taking in all the feedback from the forum, we sat down in R&D to
investigate further and we believe we will be able to provide Firefox
support on the Mac starting in a few weeks when IMail 2006 ships.  Our first
choice was Safari (given it ships with OS X) but using the same code that
works fine on FF Mac/Win and IE Win does not render nicely on Safari.

We appreciate all the feedback - keep it coming.

bye for now,

kg

Hi,

I have to clarify my statement "First of all, I can not understand, how a
web programmer is able to create html/css/dhmtl/js-code that is not
mac-compatible".

We do lot of web design stuff and we create websites without any problems to
run with mac's. I'm quite familiar with the problems that can occur.

This means, a designer must take care, that a modern product runs on a mac
using up-to-date browsers. I agree, that an old IE 4.x on OS9 is hardly to
support and not an issue.

Ipswicth should gives us a clear statemtent, if the WebMail runs on eg.
Safari, Opera, on a tupperware pc, ähhm mac.
