i think the main problem is that you haven't found out yet how to do all of this stuff.
not linking? what exactly do you mean? you can create url's in pm, no problem. if you will be notified when new mail arrives, is a preference setting. also changable via filters. also shedules exist, choosable which accounts to which intervalls. and clunky? now THIS appears to be weird to me - I used Netscape before ClarisEmailer and CE was so much more slick than Netscape and then I moved to PM which is just as fast if not faster than CE was. but then, if PM is not right for you, it might just not be right and you indeed will be happier with IE or Netscape. your pick :) ---marlyse -------------------------original message follows------------------------- > Just now realizing how much more I had with Netscape 4.79...
