Download the firefox web browser
google search firefox add ons (should be the first link)
search "AddThis" in the add ons search bar
download the AddThis add on

AddThis features
• You can email and use your address book from Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo without opening another application or window.
• Bookmark to your browser
• Print the page


This is an easy way to send e-mails not read e-mails you have received. I am not sure of any all in one web browsers for mac sorry

You can add hotmail and gmail to AddThis and it will redirect you to that page but you will still have to log in for hotmail. Gmail on the other hand will always stay logged in.

Firefox + Add on = Your solution.

Or tell him to stop his whining and setup his mail.app

There's also SeaMonkey, all-in one email and web browsing. I don't like it too much but it might work for you:)

Using two apps is SO difficult...;D

Sometimes I miss the old Netscape App that did both....

Several years ago I tried using Netscape on OS/2 WARP. It's old and causes crashes.

Now, granted that was OS/2, but the software is so old it would probably do that on any platform.

Opera should work. Built in mail client, in a web browser.

You can't browse the net with the mail app. and Hotmail accounts will not work on the mail app.
Hotmail enabled POP servers for there free accounts a few months ago.

I confirmed it by setting up my old Hotmail account in Mail.App. It even setup the account settings (server/ports) automatically.

Now, yahoo is the main webmail provider to not allow POP.

The "webmail notifier" add on for firefox will let you go to your emails page with just a click of a button on the bottom of the browser.
