I still use it, but I got the updated # rpm from SuSE. Be warned that one of the things that can go very wrong is e-mail not being deleted properly. If you throw out a mail to the trash it can get _copied_ instead of being moved. Also emptying the trash file seems to be difficult for netscape. You may end up having 100+ MB of e-mail from netscape when you think it is just a few MB. "du -sh ~/nsmail" usually shows the problem. I'm using xfmail though. Like it, you may want to give it a try. # Well Eric, I hope you enjoy Mandrake. Linux is still not a "one step # setup" system.
