Hey H/A!
My apologies in advance if this has been asked elsewhere, if so please feel free to direct me to it and I will go about my business.

At home I am getting sick of using Internet Explorer and Outlook... can someone suggest some replacements? If I change browsers will I have to manually copy all my bookmarks over? Is there a email program out there that I can link my hotmail to?

Your suggestions are appreciated!

Firefox, it will automatically import all your bookmarks.

Firefox and Thunderbird. There's an extension to use webmail (such as hotmail) on Thunderbird.

Well the most popular secondary choce would me mozilla. Firefox for a browser and Thunderbird for an email client. I believe firefox will ask you if you want to import your favorites over. I personally use Opera, I love it but the problem with using some of the less known browsers is some things on websites may be incompatible with your browser. Firefox would be a safe bet though if you want to try something else.

Firefox is very popular as an IE replacement. Opera has a very loyal if smaller following as well. Google just released a browser called Chrome which is a bare-bones but fast browser. All these browsers will automatically import bookmarks from IE.

For Outlook replacements, the only one I'm directly familiar with is Thunderbird. I've not actively used it myself so I can't speak for it's functionality.
