My wife's Powerbook runs Mac OS 9.2. She's fed up with Eudora, so I
figure it's time to install Thunderbird or Netscape for mail, since
that's what I like. OK, so OS 9.x is too old for Mozilla to write a
version of Thunderbird for it. The latest version of the Netscape
software is 7.0. It's rife with bugs! The browser does nothing but
freeze up. I have to force quit many times.

Is there an update or a tip?

I'm willing to try another mailer. It has to speak both POP and IMAP.

Thanks.

My email is easy to figure out by doing the obvious thing.

Version 1.2.1, the last official one for OS 9, has a mail component. So
does the WaMcom version, a/k/a ver. 1.3.

Holy cow! That's much better! Thanks.

It was hard to find it on the Mozilla site, but I managed.

Thanks again!

Thats strange. I have been using netscape 7.03 on os 9.1 for a while now
and have only had three or four crashes. Have you made sure you have enough
 memory allocated to it. I noticed that since netscape went to the
everything in
one package programming that it is a memory hog. Along with that make sure
you have a large cache file. I am using 50 mb for the cache.
