I can name many superior: Opera 9.64 (browser suite includes a mail and news client). SeaMonkey 1.1.17 (browser suite includes a mail and news client). Mozilla Thunderbird Forté Agent (paid version included mail and news). Gravity (and Super Gravity) (primarily a news client). Xnews (primarily a news client). 40tude Dialog (primarily a news client, but can be used for email). Pegasus Mail (email only). Eudora The Bat!

| | Re: Win98/SE Thanks to everyone who responded. I have two computers, one a 2004 Gateway running XP/Home, I have had to replace on this computer the fan (which is not carried by them, only one place on the Internet had it), the DVD/CD drive (failed to open), twice the floppy drive (which I hardly ever use), the Monitor (a CRT type that lasted only one year) and the Mouse whose scroll feature when south. I also have a 1998 Compaq Presario running WIN98/SE that nothing had to be replaced on and is my backup for when my Gateway goes south. Patrick "N.
