What site is that?

Shameless plug

Windows users: Install Mozilla Firefox & Mozilla Thunderbird then UNINSTALL Microsoft Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. IE & OE allows visual basic scripts (to name one non-secure feature) which enables a website to execute scripts on your "windows" installation. Mozilla will not run visual basic and runs indepentantly of your windows files. There are also plugins available which block adverts and javascript from sites unless you choose to allow them.

You can't un-install Internet explorer, update it via windows update as soon as there is any fix for it.



Firefix will run VB, but securly.



Be smart about where you browse.



Install Google toolbar on IE, this helps with the popups on IE, if you must use IE.



Be carefull "removing" outlook. this can happen. but you will lose emails if they are saved locally and not migrated to thunderbird first.

I knew about Firefox, but not Thunderbird.



It works as well as Outlook Express?

Thunderbird is the email application originally from Netscape, and it looks similar to OE, I don't think it works as well as OE or as easy to set up. But it doesn't have all of the problems of OE. OE has all of the "issues" of Outlook without any of the advantages.

Naw, the UI hasn't changed significantly, the settings windows still look similar. . Stretching would be to say it came from NCSA Mosaic...

I run Linux (gentoo), but just use evolution. at work I need exchange support. I never looked at thuderbird.



But to be correct. Netscape != Mozilla



Thurderbird came from Mozilla code base, not netscape. Netscape is closed source. The 1-4. x browsers had nothing to do with Mozilla. .



The 'current' netscapes are mozilla based.

Actually, Mosaic Communications was formed in 1995 and became Netscape Communications. Mozilla was formed in 1998 when Netscape released their code for their Communicator to the open source community. Mozilla 0. 6 = Netscape 6. 0 From that point on Netscape releases are Mozilla based as you stated. I haven't used Thunderbird on a regular basis for years. How do you like Evolution? I tried that a while back but ended up switching to a Mac for my primary machine.



But all this, though entertaining, is off on a tangent from the original post.

Evolution is getting rather stable with the Exchange connector. It works kinda.



Doesn't Mail. app support exchange (via the webmail/webdav interface like evolution. )

Yes, I suspect the Mail. app does use the web interface since it asks for the "Outlook Web Access Server" during the setup of an exchange account. Haven't tried it though...

I use Debian Sarge on a daily basis with Firefox and Thunderbird. I must agree that TB was difficult to setup but once is setup has been smooth and without problems. My windows machine has FF and TB installed and uninstalled the IE/OE and as you say they don't really get uninstalled because they are the basis of windows code. But you can go into the security settings and max them out to be much safer. As proof that IE is still present there was a site I was having difficulty getting to open so I went to my windows machine and installed a FF plugin that allows you to right click on a link and open in IE. It opened in IE despite having uninstalled it. There was also a site for testing my employer hired. They said we could access the site from home, well not in FF. After researching it the site used VB and I found some documentation that FF didn't allow VB. I have weaned myself from the windows habit completely. I very seldom use a windows machine anymore.

:-laf:-laf:-laf I really enjoy using Firefox and there is a ton of stuff you can do with it.

I try to avoid everything from Microsoft. I run Eudora for email and Safari for a web browser. Happy with them both.

Im with Blake the heck with Microcrap. I use Opera for my browser works most the time if it doesn't then I use Firefox. The hackers look at all the fixes Microsoft puts outs then they figure a way around them, no thanks.
