I went through that too Jeff. Got tired of Messenger wiping my Inbox (but of
course then I remembered you could just delete the *.SNM files and
restarting Netscape rebuilds the indexes and the message reappear...). I
would have NOTHING to do with Outlook. Deleted it. And then remembered that
Outlook uses Express for a newsreader...

Also got tired of Netscape crashing with and I had repeatedly done
everything recommended on their news list. I wasn't having NEAR the problems
that others were... I have 192MB of memory, running NT. But sometimes it
would just stop responding and do nothing until I killed it. Other times it
would just "end". This was with various revs of 4.7x and I tried 6 but it
was missing WAY to much... Don't think it has caught up much either... Too
bad...

You can definitely use Messenger for mail and IE for internet...

I have put every patch available to Outlook and IE and set security
settings, etc.  I don't use Preview Pains in Outlook. Have decent antivirus
software, etc. Still a little nervous until I get as used to the ins and
outs of Outlook and IE as I was with Netscape I will stay that way !

But man, I like the calendaring and task stuff in Outlook !
