    What email/brouser software do you use?

    I'm just interested since I have only just started looking for other stuff to use apart from the MS stuff.
    So far, I quite like the latest OPERA browser, simply cos it's so skinable and looks really nice. Mozzila too ,is pretty good.

    Does anyone have any good recommendations for Windows email clients?

    browser Opera 7
    email - OE & Outlook - I've never really got into M2 although I know people that swear by it.
    Mozilla's email client is fine.

    The only problem i have with Opera is it's lack of support for Active X. Some sites use this and it's annoying when you get pop ups saying that it could not connect to such and such.
    Is there an unofficial active X plug in for Opera?

    IE 6 and Outlook 2002 for me.

    We have Eudora available to us at Uni but, and I don't know if it is some old guff version, it is the biggest bag o' shote EVAR!!!
    It's reminiscent of some crappy old DOS-shell interface (perhaps not that bad) and really is just rubbish.

    What's this Opera lark all about?
