Any comments about it would be appreciated. I hate Outlook/OE too. But what are the alternatives? I tried just logging into webmail, but that just got to be a pain in the arse. Isn't Thunderbird an alternative to Outlook? I haven't looked into it too deeply, so I'm pretty clueless here. Yeah, I should have worded that better. Thunderbird is an alternative. I tried it, but didn't really like it. I couldn't seem to get it to do what I needed it to do. Could be a case of ignorant operator. I suppose I should have been more clear. What I meant to say was other than Thunderbird and the MicroMafia products, what else is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilpeart_gal Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I've obviously got to tweak my Webemail extention. I can't get it to open anything but google email when I go to tools/Compose New message. When I do 'check email', it does go to Yahoo mail. Must be a setting somewhere that I've not got sorted.

Indica Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 All of a sudden Firefox has been getting errors and not responding then it sends an error report to them. I seen netscape do this before. I'm not sure what the deal is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just downloaded it to use the mail client and found out some interesting things. 1) The mail client cannot be downloaded separately. You must download the browser as well. 2) The free version of the browser allows ads to display. You have to pay if you want the browser that doesn't allow ads. IE sucks and Opera seems to suck as well. Long live Firefox!!! It's FREE and it blocks ads automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisibleairwaves Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 We should have a poll: How much do you hate IE? -I'm a noob to computers and use IE -It's okay, I guess, but Firefox is better. -IE could definitely be a lot better. -IT'S THE WORST FARGIN EXCUSE FOR A WEB BROWSER EVER!!!

Snowdog Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Hey, if any of you FF users aren't using Forecast Fox, you should. This extension rocks and they just made it even better. It displays the current weather along with the future forecast and now, it puts a little button on the Forecast bar and when you glide your mouse over it Doppler radar instantly pops up. It is cool!

Riv Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Hmmmmm. I will have to give this a try. Right now I am running a wireless network and I get a very crappy signal because my room is in the basement and the router upstairs. I am waiting for my signal booster that I ordered through Amazon (through the TRF store, as always!) and I should be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
