Are you still using Internet Explorer 6? It’s time to upgrade.

Technology waits for no man and once something gets outdated, it is quickly upgraded and forgotten. Most of the time. The unfortunate exception is Internet Explorer 6 (IE6).

This 10-year-old browser is still in use by nearly 12% of the world. This presents a problem because IE6 doesn’t support some of the crucial technologies that are used by many modern websites.

Several major Internet companies (including Google and Facebook) have already decided to stop supporting IE6 on their websites, and Microsoft has recently launched a campaign for eliminating IE6 from the face of the web: The Internet Explorer 6 Countdown website. The website is an educational endeavor that shows the current world statistics for the IE6 usage and hopes to bring it down to below 1%.

The new NutsMail 4.0 theming system also uses some of the technologies that are not supported by IE6. This means that the new NutsMail themes will not work under IE6. All the core mail functionality will be preserved and it will still be possible to check the mail, but when NutsMail detects IE6, it will automatically load its default monochrome theme.

If you are still using Internet Explorer 6, we encourage you to upgrade to a modern browser that will deliver a much better web experience. Take your pick:

• A newer version of Internet Explorer,
• Chrome by Google,
• Firefox by a non-profit organization Mozilla,
• Opera by Norwegian Opera Software.
