Mozilla 1.4a

I use Mozilla for browsing, but mostly for mail. I started using Netscape Mail years back, I think with Communicator 3 Gold. I’ve simply followed the upgrade path and today I installed Mozilla 1.4 alpha.

Up until today I’d been running 1.3a, and before that 1.2a. I could never get the beta or release builds to work – they’d crash when I tried to send mail. I worked out the problem today. I’d not upgraded the spell checker, and it wasn’t compatible with the builds that crashed. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that sooner. (smacks forehead)

Anyway, 1.4a is super quick. I read in the Mozilla roadmap that they’re concentrating on stability and performance at the moment, and it seems to be paying off. I have Mozilla running 100% of the time, so performance is key for me.

On a side note, I notice that MailWasher has gone Pro. Cool.
