   Use Thunderbird for mail. Its based on the same root as Netscape 7 (Mozilla)   
   You can use Firebird to get Netscape web mail (with an extension) or get   
   it in Thunderbird (with an extension)   
      
   AOL didnt maintain Netscape 7, they let it waste away while the base   
   product (Mozilla) improved   
   Netscape 8 isnt a replacement for Netscape 7, it isnt even in the same   
   league, its a browser only.
