I will agree - Netscape's mail client has served me well for a long time.
I have also gone through revision changes, --AND-- I was able to migrate
my mail files from a Windows environment to a Linux one relatively
painlessly.
My only gripe is that I still have about a 45 meg MS Outlook .pst file
that has a ton of messages and attachments that the Netscape migrate
utility doesn't work with. My attachments (Word documents, Excel
spreadsheets, some binaries such as .exe's and .zip's) get munged pretty
bad. After migration, they have no extension and the names are usually
changed to something generic like "attachment."
If I could find a good way to migrate from .pst to Netscape, I'd be in hog
heaven. I could go totally MS free.
