Based on my own experience, I think as long as Jim is using OS9, he is going to have trouble with Sympatico. I gave up my Sympatico account about a year ago while still using OS9 and that was my experience. I don't think it would matter which browser Jim used in OS9, because my experience was that none of them worked properly, including to check the web mail. My understanding is that Safari only works with OS 10. Leith >I think if you have trouble with OS 9 using a mail client why not use >Sympatico's web mail feature using your internet browser.
