IE4 for Solaris first impressions,

First off it's big, really big. It weighs in at 42Meg compared to Netscape Communicator 4.x at 16Meg for Solaris.

Second, it has no built in email or news reader - however it supports external tools.

Third, it doesn't support Exchange mail.

As for performance, it's much better than the beta, but I really need to use it some more to form an accurate comparison to Netscape.

Wish List:

Add in POP3, IMAP4, CCMail and Exchange mail native support along with a mail creation tool other than Emacs, understand the $HOME/Mail directory.

Add in a native news reader.

Do these things, especially Exchange Mail and you have a viable solution.
