Yes. Netscape 4.7x/mailnews is many times faster and much more usable than Mozilla 0.93. KMail has better performance but it does not have IMAP support (will be there in KDE 2.2 ), Balsa (from GNOME ) is nice and fast and it's crashing all of the time. Outlook, Outlook Express are insecure. So the best mailer is the good old Netscape. And 0.93 is NOT faster than 0.92, and the performance page on the mozilla confirms this.
Cannot understand. Is that so problematic that Linux is not a consumer OS? Think about a specific 'consumer'. I don't think so that it is so important to make Linux the favorite choice of those users. Am I wrong? So it is extreme to say that cmd line is enough. But... Why Linux advocates are so frustrated that Linux is not Windows? The problem could be the advocates, not Linux.
