Well most Mozilla users are old Netscape users as am I. The older
Netscape email as I understood it, used aski files and you could dig
into the program files and get to a folder that was the actual emails,
drag it off to a storage medium and later reload the Netscape program
(in the case of a reformat situation) and slide it back.Looked like it
never left with all orig. emails imtact. Outlook express was not that
simple.it was all over.I also have experimented with Eudora, Netscape
(misc versions) and Outlook express. I use a phrase with
programs: "Intuitive", or "clunky". Outlook Express was clunky to use.
Netscape seemed fluid in use to search emails and slide the results
over to a holding folder and further sub-search them...But that's my
opinion after 15 yrs and 4 Pcs networked on my RoadRunner. I think I
have over 2 gigs of mail going back five(?)years. Like test-driving a
car.Some you just hate. OE I hate.
