Late versions of Netscape and early versions of Mozilla included email clients. Mozilla later split the email client and web browser into two separate programs, Thunderbird and Firebird. Firebird became Firefox.


Didn’t they also include calendaring at some point?

Didn’t JZW once famously say all software grows until it eventually has an email client?


You're thinking of Mozilla Sunbird.

Netscape Communicator included a calendar at one point.


And Usenet! That never caught on either, though. We've had more web browsers with RSS support than web browsers with email support.


Opera was also a mail client and IRC client at one point.
