Netscape Communicator

Just as most users these days, a decade or more ago the majority of those who went online looked for an application to help them with more than opening webpages. Netscape Communicator was one such software solution and its popularity was due to the numerous extra options that came by default in the package.
The Navigator is the primary tool and it is equipped with many features for getting useful information from a friendly interface. Nonetheless, the modern standards in HTML and other technologies make the old Netscape included in this suite obsolete.
Inside the Communicator users can find an e-mail client which provides pretty much all the necessary functions for sending, receiving and managing messages. Other features like accessing the preferred newsgroups or editing HTML code are also provided by Netscape Communicator and they can be opened from the dedicated menu, regardless of the application in the suite the user is currently working on.
Keeping track of contacts can be easily done, thanks to the Address Book component, while keeping in touch with friends is a couple of clicks away, with the Netscape Instant Messenger. There is a handy quick access toolbar that makes it possible to open the needed module with a single click.
Insofar as the customization is concerned, Netscape Communicator offers a wide choice of settings which are available from the Preferences menu of the application. From appearance options to reading offline messages everything can be configured to some extent from that area of the program.
