Didn't Netscape bundle in a mail client before Opera did?
- guestbest 3y agoNetscape had a separate email and html composer application suite in the late 1990s. Opera had it built in along with a torrent client that couldn’t be separated from what I remember in a package that was smaller than almost all feature complete stand alone web browsers from 2003 and onwards.
- abdullahkhalids 3y agoSomething like that. Mozilla used the Netscape code to first create Mozilla Application Suite and then SeaMonkey[1]. It had Mail, IRC chat and a composer. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeaMonkey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeaMonkey
- asadotzler 3y agoYes. 3 years before Opera. Netscape shipped Communicator in June of '97, the suite that added email and calendaring to browsing, based in part on their Collabra groupware acquisition in '96. Opera released v4 in June of 2000, three years later, with its email client.
