130440 - Please run mailer & browser in seprate threads/processes.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 115903

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Girish Manwani]

I have been using Netscape Messenger/Mailer for a very long time. Since Netscape
4.7x till today Netscape 6.2.1 the browser and mailer are bundled together.
Although i like the bundling of these 2 there is an inherent design/architecture
flaw. If while using the browser if something goes wrong i.e. the browser
freezes/locks up and i have to kill it, my mailer also HAS TO BE KILLED. I
believe if this issue is not taken care of a lot MORE people will switch to
using IE as their browser while continuiing to use Netscape as their mailer(just
because they are 2 separate processes) which is rather unfortunate.
