A Mozilla (Firefox & Thunderbird) Discussion Board ...

... has just been started:

Subject 55208

If there are participants here using the Mozilla Suite, Firefox, and/or Thunderbird, or considering using any of them, they might want to check in from time to time.

I'm a GUI Browser "Oldie" dating back to Global Network Navigator (GNN) days of late 1993 and the original Mosaic and Netscape public betas of 1994, but I am definitely a Firefox and T-Bird "Newbie."

IE6 and Outlook Express are my default browser and e-mail clients of choice, but so far I like what I see of Firefox and Thunderbird and am using them daily so I hope to share experiences with other users while I get myself up to speed on these alternatives.

In addition I like the concept of standards based open source, and I believe in competition, so I am hopeful to see Mozilla succeed.

Possibly the Mozilla board, if we get participation, can be a resource for this board. At this stage. I personally am not much of a resource. Just a "Newbie."

I've seeded the board with a few good links and kick off with a short history of the "Rise and Fall of the Netscape Empire."

Best,

- Eric -

Thanks but the link is no help as that must be for an earlier ver of Netscape. It seem as if Netscape want to be my email client no matter what. Seems as if I can set up my own ISP to del and rec email but it looks as if it will steal focus from Outlook which I do not want. Cannot find anywhere in Netscape to allow Outlook to be my client.
