Mozilla 1.3a now available - did I miss a posting, or were we all a little slow off the mark on this one?

I'm running it now - seems OK

The main reason I installed it is for the e-mail client.

The anti-spam looks pretty good although some bits may not be working yet (could be me, but some bits appear greyed-out)

I have had to stop using Sylpheed-Claws, and needed a decent Linux mail client to replace it. The search facility wasn't good enough for me - I am disorganised and frequently need to search all folders at once, which I couldn't do with Sylpheed (is it me again?).

Anyway - its there for download

Anyone got the 'greyed out' bits of the spam controls working?

Ahh... the extre features are supposed to be greyed-out - they are not live yet.

Still, it has some functionaility now, and it will be a killer feature when its done.

I suspect I may be having a conversation with myself here, but...

The anti-spam feature, albeit not fully implemented, is REALLY good.

At the moment, it won't delete or move the spam, but it is flagging it OK.

I spent about 10 minutes training it on recently recvd spam and now it is catching almost everything.

Good enough reason for me to use it as my main e-mail client now.

now if only I could work out how to import all my mail from Sylpheed...:(

I have been toying with the idea of using it for mail but have too much setup to change, too lazy.

I suspect I may be having a conversation with myself here

I realize that, it has been entertaining me ;)

The changes look good, I am wondering what else they will add for the next full release.

I thought I heard someone sniggering in the darkness:)

I like Sylpheed a lot, but I need better search facilities and I HAVE to get a handle on the spam, its getting really out of hand.

I think I have changed mail clients about 6 times in the last year.

Hope this is the last time - suspect it won't be:(
