i especially like the window "tab" feature in the mozilla browser window 
that's been introduced in the latest releases.  for those that have 
version 0.9.6 and later, try typing a ctl-t in a browser window.  :)

i too experienced many difficulties in early releases of mozilla, but 
they really have come a long way since then.  i'm quite pleased with its 
performance.  as far as mailers go, i grew up on eudora light for 
windows, and haven't seen anything like that for linux - the closest 
match was kmail, but i'm not a big kde enthusiast.  and it's been a 
while since i've experimented with recent mail clients, so i'm pretty 
unaware about new clients or improvements to existing ones.  but i am 
happy with the mozilla mail/news client.
