Any pronto mua users here?

As you may or may not know, I am working on moving a 2GB, ~1000000
message, ~500 folder, ~400 messages per day mail archive to debian
woody.  Currently, this is used by netscrape mail in an convenient and
elaborate hierarchy of folders sometimes (10) or more levels deep.

I'm testing mutt; but, I have not found as convenient a solution to the
many nested subfolder syndrome, especially regarding the navigation of
folders from within mutt.

Further investigation shows that pronto supports nested subfolders; but,
<http://www.muhri.net/pronto/> has not revealed much detail.

So, I am soliciting comments from any of you kind people, especially
regarding pronto's nested subfolder facility _and_ how pronto compares
to mutt -- especially bad comparisons ;<

What do you think?

I don't know about pronto. What version of netscape? Is it on windows?
Mozilla works just like netscape, but is *much* faster at handling
large mailboxes than netscape 4.7x. Later versions of netscape are
based on mozilla, iirc.

Yes, nt4 and netscrape v4.8.  No, I've looked at Mozilla, and -- nice as
it is -- its nested mbox configuration still risks corruption of too
much mail and offers nothing to me for remote mail perusal.  I like it
more than my current netscrape; but, it is not enough of a change to be
warranted.  Please, review the details in my response to Vineet.

What do you think?

I don't know about corruption problems, but maybe mozilla 1.2.1 for
linux has less risk than the wondoze version. It might be the
easiest/quickest way to get off the windoze system, then you can
look for another mailer. I've shared the same mailboxes between
two PCs with mozilla, but only have one mozilla running at a time.
So, you could install linux mozilla and point it to the windoze pc
mailbox for a quick start.
