 I hate e-mail So, now that I have my own computer, thought i would make my own e-mail account. Simple right? apparentlly not..... I have 3 different internet browsers on my computer (wih you would think would be more than enough) Safari, Netscape, and Internet Explorer. The first one I used to create my e-mail account was Safari (my favorite  ). On Safari it would quit out whenevr i got to the smae place. Safari, you have let me down.Next try was Netscape, which I haven't registered. Part of the registraion process demanded an e-mail address. I tried to continue on, but my progress was stopped. For some reason it doesnt understand that maybe, just maybe I dont have e-mail yet and am trying to create an account? Frustrated I moved on. Final try, Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer opened up nicely, but as soon as I got to the site, it jumbled together into an unreadable mess. Strike 3. So in the end I still have no e-mail, and I need to get problems with all of my browsers fixed. Stupid e-mail.......  |

| Why not use your Mac Mail software? those browsers don't include e-mail functions. Netscape used to, but that version is now obsolete. Internet Explorer, also obsolete, only provides access to the old Outlook Express (also obsolete). Then, Safari, which is Apple's browser, also does not provide e-mail functions. Your e-mail account is provided by your ISP, or you would be using some form of web-mail. Either way, your Mail software is a good way to go, and not your web browser.

| I'd like to hit on the point DeltaMac already brought up: Netscape and IE are obsolete, as in not supported, no longer current. You'd be much better off using Safari or FireFox, both of which are great modern browsers. Oh, and if you've never set up an email account before, www.gmail.com is a great place to start.

| May I put in a plug here for dedicated email clients (applications/programs) that deal with email - and email only. My favourite is Eudora, others I deal or have dealt with are Mail (Apple), also Thunderbird. Is Maztrfred trying to use Webmail via browser only? If so, then Firefox would be my recommendation. |

| Let's not forget Camino. You can also download this plug-in to give Camino a complete Leopard makeover.

| I'm going to invest in an iMac very soon. At last! My G350 Blue has run its course. But still one tough cookie all the same. Been a loyal friend and still is. What will happen with my old Outlook Express Mail for Mac and my old Netscape 7.1. as browser? Will things get better? And how can I keep the old address book and bookmarks intact? For example. Or, what forum should I ask such a question? All the best. |

| Well, Opera has a mail built-in.. at least in their Windows and Linux versions so wildly guessing it would or could be with their Mac client too. And Opera for Mac sucks less nowadays than it used to
