You might want to look at Netscape 7.2 (and/or Netscape 9) and see if
that will work for you. I'm posting this from Netscape 7.2

Also, note this: I can pull imap email from gmail using outlook 2000 on
win-98se. You have to tell gmail to allow the use of unapproved devices
or software (there is a setting in the gmail control panel for that). I
could probably find a way to post a link where you can download the
Office 2k-Pro suite if you want to try outlook.

I have Thunderbird installed on a win-7 laptop and find that it does a
horrible job of deducing the correct time that an email was sent, so
sorting messages by date/time is usually screwed up.

If you run KernelEx (I think you said that you do) then you can install
and run Opera 12.02 (the only version of 12 that will run on win-98 with
Kex). This should allow you to browse some sites that FF 2.0.0.20 can't.

I continue to use FF2 as my default browser. One trick for viewing pages
that don't seem to load or display properly is to select View,
Page-Style, and select No Style. For me, this ends up rendering the
text that I want to read that was either poorly formatted or invisible
using the default Basic Page Style.

I also have the mvps hosts file on all my PC's, and on my win-98 pc I
have added to it extensively. For my FF2 browser I use the addons
BlockSite 1.0.3, Nuke Anything Enhanced 1.0.2, Remember Mismatched
Domains 1.4.6, and Yesscript 1.7.
