My sister has AOL as her provider. Is it possible for her to have Outlook Express for her mail program?
Or does she have to stay with "You've Got Mail"?
Thanks

I believe she is stuck with AOL's e-mail client.

But she can use a fine browser, like Mozilla to surf with.

....however, you can't use Windows Update from Microsoft's site with Mozilla.
(There could be updates for Media Player and other non IE programs).

No but she can use Netscape 6 or 7 instead.

There are applications (not free last time I looked) that will do an

Some time, on or about: Mon, 26 Jan 2004 16:21:05 -0600, "malicet"
<nobody@socket.net> was criminally insane in my professional opinion
when they claimed the following balderdash:

No, it's a proprietary e-mail server.

You can download Netscape and use its onboard e-mail client, but NS is
just as ponderous as AOL. NS is owned by AOL, BTW, and downloads and
installs a host of AOL owned applications on your PC
