  1. Hi, Roy, and thanks for all your good work. I am looking for an email client which will work on XP and enable me to access my hotmail account using Oauth2, so I decided to try Mailnews. All seems well until I reach the sign in page for entering my credentials. I can enter my email address, but the Back and Next buttons are missing, and I can do nothing else with the screen. I can't try a different browser, as (AFAIK) the screen is built in to Mailnews.
    Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
