Welcome to IWETHEY!

New We use Firefox on our Macs without incident.
We don't have an Intel-based Mac yet, though. I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary with FF compared to on Winders.

Apple's "Mail" seems a little weird compared to Thunderbird, but it works fine. Both are better than Eudora, IMO.

You might want to look into [link|http://www.finkproject.org/index.php|Fink] if you like the idea of installing Free/Open Source software on OS X.

Have fun!

Cheers,
Scott.
New I had to ditch Mail

It very quickly gets bogged down if you're regularly receiving a lot of email (in my case, a few thousand messages a day). Thunderbird, on the other hand, deals with it like a champ.

New Depends.
I get a lot of mail.

*but*

I don't receive it directly in Mail, I use an IMAP server.


Works fine.

New Yeah, so do I

Mail started choking when I had an IMAP folder with about 16000 messages in it; it'd hang for minutes at a time, it'd crash, etc., etc. and finally I couldn't take it anymore and picked up Thunderbird again, which handles the same setup with the same volume, but without the freezing or the crashing.
