   Hi,   
      
   I have 7.2 and I told my friend to switch to Netscape and when he did,   
   he got 8.0 which I didn't know was out. (No, I don't come here   
   regularly; my philosophy is "If it aint' broke, don't fix it" and my   
   7.2 works just fine, thank you.   
      
   So anyway, I was trying to talk him through the mail set up on the   
   phone and he can't seem to get to it. That is, it doesn't seem to   
   exist.   
      
   Has AOL dropped the mail program from the new Netscape 8?   
      
   If not, how does my friend find it and get it set up? He loaded the   
   Browser, and is able to use that, but there is no link to the mail   
   that he can find, it seems to just want to take him to the Netscape   
   web site to sign up for mail there.   
      
   Can someone explain this to me?   
      
   I took a look at the Netscape web site and it does appear that the new   
   Netscape does not feature a Mail program... Am I right?   
      
   If so, will Thunderbird integrate with Netscape 8, or is he forced to   
   go to the dreaded Outlook with all its security threats?
