Mail + browser suite that isn't ugly?

I have been looking to change to a browser and mail suite but I don't really know what there is for good. I have had Netscape 7.2. I have looked at Seamonkey. Anyone use them still? Any recommendations? Oh and Opera is the ugliest of all.

why do you want a hybred? Safari works with Address Book for filling out forms faster cause that's the only reason w that I can think of why a combo will work better.


Thanks for clicking.

I don't like Safari very much. Plus I like having my mail and web browser in one app. Guess that is just me.

I tried out Navigator. Pretty good, but I didn't know if there were any bugs in it so I opted for SeaMonkey with Navigator's theme. Isn't there an extension for Firefox to read mail? Well GMail. I would rather have an app or an extension rather then going to the webmail face.

I've found that Firefox and Thunderbird work well together, and, you can get matching themes for them to customize their look.

The transfer of your e-mail from Netscape to Thunderbird should be painless.

Edit:  And Thunderbird works well with the pop3 or IMAP options on Gmail.
