I just loaded Netscape 6.1 this morning to see how it would handle IMail
and IMAP . So far I have not had any of the IMAP problems that I have
experienced with Outlook and OE. So, is this a bug with the interaction
of IMail and Microsoft or what? Has anyone else found that Netscape
handles IMAP better than the Microsoft clients?
