I have been using SeaMonkey to receive / send email messages on my desktop Windows XP computer for many years. It recently refuses to download my inbox emails with an error message "There is not enough disk space to download new messages. Try deleting old mail, emptying the Trash folder, and compacting your mail folders, and then try again." I have archived my INBOX folder and there is nothing in the INBOX, compressing does nothing, have restarted, etc.

Can I change over to the mozilla based FireFox to receive / send my email messages now that I have downloaded FireFox? If so, how do I do this, I do not see any mail or newsgroups or any way to set up my email on FireFox?

Thanks, Bill Skye

SeaMonkey is a suite of things like web browser, email client, irc.

Firefox is a web browser as the only email a web browser can do is say by one of the ton of webmail sites out there.

Thunderbird is the email client equivalent and is a community product now days like SeaMonkey.
