1. I have never installed IE7 because I understand Juno 4 will not run =
properly. I don't recall what the prob is, but when I run Opera as a =
default browser, Juno 4 loads and sends/receives, but refuses to render =
=
any formatted email. My guess is IE 7 would result in the same problem. =
=
We have asked if anyone knows of a solution here, and no answer occurs. =
=
The only solution I have read is to upgrade to a version of Juno 5 =
which either works with IE 7 or Vista, depending on "where you are =
going today."
IE6 is OK, but I think it is and will be less secure than IE 7, in =
terms of unpatched critical vulnerabilities.
2. MSOE has had a very poor reputation for many years being susceptable =
=
to vulnerabilities. There are those who say now that XP has SP2 IE and =
OE are very safe, and that things are even better in Vista land. =
The answer to these concerns has, in the last several years, been going =
=
to Thunderbird email client. Now Mozilla/Thunderbird/Firefox are not =
free of vulnerabilities, but the are at least smaller in number and =
more quickly patched. =
Discussing/arguing/debating email clients is futile, as there are too =
many opinions and considerations for people to agree on anything. I am =
heading to Thunderbird because it seems to work fairly well, is well =
supported both as an email client and by various indexing software, has =
=
its email contents in non-proprietary uncompressed stores, and likely =
is less vulnerable to attack. =
OE also works, is supported in a fashion, and is indexed by even more =
software. If you are getting Vista, it comes with indexing--and I am =
sure it indexes OE.
Depending on what O/S comes with the Dell you have alternatives. =
You can upgrade to a version of Juno 5 which runs with IE 7 or Vista. =
As I understand all you have to do is install it over your current Juno =
=
4 client, and the email will be converted to version 5 style. =
I would think this also means you could install the proper Juno 5 in a =
Vista computer, copy your Juno 4 user folders over to the Vista install =
=
and the new Juno would convert your email to the proper format and you =
would be good to go in Vista. =
If you ran XP I would think the same thing could be done with the =
suitable version 5 for XP-- and why not just use the latest [Vista] =
version--I would think the "vista" version would work as well on XP?
The only thing bothering me about Juno 5 is the "dreaded folder =
collapse" which has been reported for Juno 5. Since I never owned one, =
I don't know if this is something which happens to everyone, which =
happens when folders are large, or which only happens under certain =
predictable circumstances. Anyone "know" what's up with the folder =
collapse phenomena?
You can convert your email and address book to format to run on another =
=
email client of your choosing. That sounds like a lot more work. =
Now that I have written out all this, the "easiest" solution is to =
install the latest Juno 5 client to the new box and copy your user =
folders to its Juno 5 directory [same structure as Juno 4?], and let =
Juno set you up.

(1) What's wrong between Juno 4 and EI7?

I expect my new Dell Vista laptop to arrive next week and wonder what I
