Famous last words, I dropped OE as soon as I found hotmail popper, this utility gives me client access to my hotmail email. Otherwise I would have dumped from even before. If your AV should fail because you were hit w/ a newer worm/virus/tojan that could disable your NAV, then you coudl potential infect your pc more w/ OE. I don't say that to try and scare you, but I do believe that if you can move to a better platform why would you NOT do it? COST = $0, everyone's usability is subjective, but imho I think a product such as thunderbird is awesome. Comes w/ built in spam filtering, and doesn not launch potential harmful html content nor mime. JUST a few of the reasons to stray from OE.
