Well, as others mentioned, OS X is a good idea. I have it here running even on a 300 MHz iBook.

Consider using a archive database. There are a couple of them on the market. A simple filemaker-solution is shipped with PM. The PM database can be up to 2 GB. For having a database big like this, you need a license. > >Just now realizing how much more I had with Netscape 4.79...

Under preferences you can configure how PM should behave on incoming mails. Under the schedules menu you can configure how often mails should be pulle from the server. >And it seems kinda >clunky overall compared to Netscape. Maybe I'm just a creature of habit >but am really >wondering what the point of PM is. I used Netscape and Eudora before. PM and Eudora can use several mailservers and accounts. The big advantage of PM is, you can send and receive mails in different languages and it has a user-interface which is strate forward. PMs user-manual is somehow a bit outdated, but instead of that there is this list and some people nearly immediately respond to your mails. >I have plenty room for Netscape and >IE in my machine, so Instead of IE, try iCab <www.icab.de>. It's a nice and fast Browser for both, classic (OS9) and OS X.
