Problem is, what was normally working has begun crashing. We are
trying to look at a solution for that. Settinp up a mail retrieval and
forwarding system, though a solution for mail issues, is not the answer
I am looking at.

FWIW, the gmail notifier extension for firefox works without a problem.
The crash occurs when we try to read the mail. So far, the Inbox screen
is displayed and within a second or so the browser crashes :-(

I tried with swiftfox also. Same behaviour noticed. onqueror has not
crashed, but I do not get the enhanced view of gmail.

Thanks for your suggestion.
