I've heard kfm, KDE's built in browser, is pretty decent, but I haven't
used it extensively myself. It may or may not run without the rest of
KDE, though. But what problems are you having with Netscape? There seem
to be fixes or workarounds for most of them. The libc5 versions (no
longer available as .deb packages) seem to be the most stable.

I've never seen Outlook Express, so I don't know what it is that you are
missing, but there are probably Unix solutions out there. Personally, I
have all of my accounts forward to one mailbox, and then use fetchmail to
poll that one. fetchmail could just as easily hit each mailbox
individually. Then I use procmail to filter out spam and sort into
seperate folders, and read them with pine. This is everything I need,
and I see no particular reason to roll it all into one program.
