My most used account is not with my ISP. I cannot stand my ISP's web mail. It is horrible. I never use it. I have used mail2web.com several years ago when on vacation and it is ok for AWHILE. But I need a mail client on my computer...not web mail as a permanent solution. I had assumed I could use Sea Monkey. Claws and Postbox 3 work on Windows 8. Thunderbird works on Windows 8. I haven't used Thunderbird in years but I guess I may have to try it. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
