I use IE 5, on all machines for browsing. Netscape is showing its age and has lost a huge amount of market share, down to about 7%. But AOL is going to combine it with their software, so it might gain some ground back.

But I do use Netscape 4.75 for my email. I need to convert over to a new email program and I'm putting it off because its a huge pain, especially with all the mail I have.

Anyone got any suggestions on what to use?

OS X has a great email application built in. I believe that there is an alternate on Apple's web site, under the OS X header. You might have to register/buy it if you want to do more then try it out (gives you a number of launches, which you could get around by not quitting out of it ). Some of the alternates are not too bad to set up. I know that the one in OS X was pretty easy, compared to how netscape functions.

As much as I don't like saying it, but have you considered/tried to use outlook express???? How about downloading the (free) Mac version of Outlook and setting it up to use your email accounts?? I have only used that one at work, since we have to, but it might be worth considering.

Have you tried Eudora? It's a simple email Application that works in OS X; however, it is in beta 20.

I tried it once in OS 9 and the interface was pretty simple.

Try going to download.cnet.com and try out the free version.

I'dd say Omniweb is by far the best browser I've used (haven't tried Mozilla, but will try it to see how it compares to O)
IE starts up a bit faster than O, but the pages show more quickly in O.
O has aqua look, meaning that all buttons and stuff are really aqua style, which is great (IE has buttons like IE for peecee)
furthermore O is Cocoa, which means it uses the system underlyings eg services, if you see something on a webpage, something you like, don't want to forget just select the text and Apple-shift-y(make sticky) don't understand something or want to know more about it, Apple-shift-G(search Google).
O also uses the systems dictionary and the address-book.
Some disadvantages are that Mediaplayer-plugin does not seem to be working (local radio station broadcasts live in MediaPlayer and that didn't work).
It looks like sites hosted by wintel do seem to have some trouble (tried to download something but O did not react)
Quicktime movies function. and online pictures are really great looking.
Fonts, buttons, pictures, icons, avatars
All graphics are really great.
I think that O is really a worthy browser.
I'm using it now (although I haven't set it as my primary, there are still a few things that I use IE for, I have a lot of bookmarks in IE and since Cookies is such a great feature your passwords and login names are easely forgotten, so after I found all my logins/passwords again I'll switch permanently.

I've used Eudora but never really liked it. I'll see what happens with OSX. I'll probably transfer once I move permanently to OSX, I'm still waiting for Photoshop and a few others. Right now I'm mostly using 9.2.2. on both machines, although frequently booting to OSX on the TiPB more often.
