Tony,
In the Cookie Manager, you can choose which sites to allow cookies from, and which not to. Obviously it would take some time to set up, and I admit is not an ideal solution, but I suppose you could build a list of cookies to block, then you would not have to delete the ones you want to keep, if you see what I mean. It would be nice to be able to save certain cookies from being zapped, I have to admit, but that's a minor gripe in my opinion.
Yes I do use the Mail Client, simply because it's not quite so vulnerable to all these bugs and holes that Outlook seems to get. Not having a central Inbox does take some getting used to, particularly if you have multiple mail accounts, but it's perfectly workable. Here's a little tweak - if you want to set the background colour of your e-mails, you can do this in
about:config (type that in address bar), but putting in the HTML colour code, under
msgcompose.background_color. A list of HTML colour codes can be found
here.
The pop up stopper is the best I have come across, which doesn't seem to stop the ones you actually want, unlike most of the third party ones used with IE. If you come to a site where you want pop ups to get through, just click Tools > Pop Up Manager > Allow Pop Ups From This Site, and job done. It also blocks those pesky pop unders.
Lona, I can't understand why it would have affected your OE log in details. I think that may have been down to the other thing you changed, as it may now think you are someone different! Anyway, if you use the password manager in Mozilla, you'll only have to put your passwords in once, and it will remember them. Can't see why your Hotmail shouldn't work, but I've always found that downloading Hotmail in Outlook / OE is not always that reliable.
Anyway, keep at it guys! There's loads of features to discover! I must get to work now - catch you later!
