Margaret and Group,

I'm posting this to the group because others may have similar problems.
When I first signed onto a commercial ISP, I received 2 very large
graphics files. My system just locked down and would not allow me to
download ANY of my mail. I called the ISP tech support, and he said that
the mail in Netscape can only handle about 300K of mail. More than that
clogs it.

I asked what he did to get around that because I receive LOTS of mail. He
said he uses an e-mail program instead of the Netscape mail. When I asked
which one, he said Pegasus because it's free (program is free; manuals
cost). Others use Eudora and Eudora Light (?). Anyway, I went to the
tucows web site and downloaded the Pegasus program and installed it. I
haven't had problems since and I really like using Pegasus.

To get my mail going again, the tech support guy had to go in and delete
the file that locked my system down; I couldn't do it myself. Your uncle may
have to have tech support do that for him.

I would be interested in other e-mail programs if you have one that you
just LOVE! Actually, I really like Pegasus, but I'm open to suggestion if
there are better ones.
