No, that's what Thunderbird is for.

Hello Theo,

Mozilla the Suite is not dead like the media thinks, that media spin.

Read the "Head Lizard Wrangler's" blog and she will explain it as
clearly as possible.

The latest Netscape will be a web browser only patterned after Firefox.

I've never had a lot of use for either Mozilla Composer, or Nvu, but
those that do seem to think Nvu is quite a bit superior to Composer.

Use Thunderbird for Mail/News.

Or keep using the Suite. The Mozilla Foundation will be issuing a
1.8b2, and probably a i.8b, and, most likely a series of 1.9 alpha and
beta builds. They just won't be releasing final builds.

They will also be releasing 1.7.6 soon, and other security release on
the 1.7 branch.

I have been testing 1.8b1, and would have no problem recommending it to
a user. Keep an eye on reports, and go for it.

Then keep an eye on the independent Seamonkey group, who plan to release
final builds based on the suite code in the betas.

All is not lost.

Mozilla.org published this news back in 2002 I believe. And don't panic,
the core of the suite is still being developed. And you can actually get
something new frequently.

Maybe not, the mail and news is the task of thunderbird, but the
composing component is in the core.

But, it become a case of the boy who cried wolf fairly quickly. Only
recently has it became obvious that they probably mean it, but
regardless of whether they do or not, us users will create a separate
successor that won't be subject to the stagnation associated with MoFo
being the maintainers.
