I'm back

PS I have gone back to Forté Agent, like 10 years ago... that's progress huh?

Are you using ForteAgent? I'd have thought that more bloated than Mozilla, which seems fine for me....using 17.0.5.

I'm with Jim I felt good leaving Forte and haven't looked back. I have 4 email accounts and this newsgroup to monitor and all work fine.

hmmm, my 17.0.2 constantly tries to compact folders...

I get that about once a week often I ignore it and go one with business

OE is the same. Graham

You have control over this

Yes I realize this and I do have it set to compact at the weekend, but when it starts compacting it never stops and keeps going thru to the next weekend :-(

Anyhow I realized I do not need an email client and now I just use Gmail on the web.

Xnews works fine as a newsreader. It is tiny, no need to install, so you can keep it in a USB key if needed.

Unfortunately, its website seems to be down. Too bad because it is a great little piece of software.

I had to dump Thunderbird for this and the "script busy" issue. Too many mails in various folders, it was choking.

I switched to gnome evolution for mail which is excellent and very fast, pan for ng's, ditto. There may not be a Windows version of these, though.

Welcome back. :)

thx Emery. I'll try your way ;-)
