[NTLUG:Discuss] Mozilla Mail

[Peter A. Koren]

I still have not found where one actually inputs server names, and
passwords for mail. If I am in a mail dialog, it ought to be there. The
only reason it works at all was that I allowed it to be configured using
my Netscape setup during the installation procedure. 

The windowing is also quite weak in Mozilla -- sizing and scroll bars
are a pain. You are right about other configuration flexibility in
Mozilla, but I will wait until I see an overall advantage in switching.
Netscape is not great, but it is not unbearable.

Regards,

Pete Koren
