Guest SpaceCadet Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 If and when I do get Linux installed (see my post in Hardware) is there an alternative to Netscape, cuz I hate netscape. Call me a Internet Explorer (l)user but I just can't stand netscape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 There are a number of them... do a search for browser and you will see them. I've been using opera for linux (www.opera.com) since it came out. It's pretty stable and works cross platform with windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannonfodder Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Thing to remember with Opera's mail client is that you only have one folder where the emails reside physically and that is All Messages/Received. All the other folders are what you call "VIEWS". You can delete a view folder and the emails in the view will still be in received. It's a slightly different way of handling mail. I was used to the concept of moving it into a folder physically to sort my mail. Also, when you go to a view and delete the email individually it really does delete it. You should also check out popfile at http://sourceforge.net/projects/popfile for a proxy software that will pre-filter your email before opera sees it. You can have it label your email in various fashions to catagorize it. Opera view folders can be setup to display any email that contains a label. E.g. The header for the email can be altered to show [spam] subject and opera's spam folder can be setup to view any email with [spam] in the header.
