Doesn't support local mail. It only handles pop etc-( Pronto just seems to hang while the installer is running-( Nick

I run Pronto at home on a K6-500 with 48 MB. The starting up is indeed a bit slow, but once the stuff is loaded it's FAST! -- Koos Pol ---------------------------------------------------------------------- S.C.

I tried it too... Running on a Pentium 200 with 96 MB RAM... no problems there... performance is great (especially the mailchecks in the background). No crashes, so stability seems rather well... only the GPG support is still very low... and a couple of bugs in the search function... (GPG/PGP messages are not decrypted by pronto, don't know why). I guess this is going to be one of the better mailclients, but it still has some hurdles ahead...
