[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1764771, member: 190607"] I think that Mail is supremely stable. I strongly suspect that any problems that you are experiencing are due to your ISP, or lack of support from your ISP. (I have Comcast too, and they suck. It's just that they suck less than the other local alternatives.) That said, there are, by my count, over 30 alternative e-mail programs available for the Macintosh. I can give you the entire list if you like.
