I am wondering what other Debian Users recommend for an email client program. First, let me state the needs of our company. We are currently very MS based at present. The goal has been set to slowly move over to Linux. Debian has been chosen, as it is the most stable that I am aware of. Of course, I don't know a hell of a lot yet. First, I will have to settle many issues before moving any clients over, although I actually have 1 client on a Linux box and I too try to use Linux most of the time. People here are, of course, used to Outlook. And I have to say that I find that it works very well. I don't think we have ever had any problems with it. We have Exchange server problems, but no client problems. Therefore, clients will be expecting the same quality - no problems. I have tried out a number of email client programs, but am not satisfied by any one of them. I have tried out, KMail, Evolution, Netscape and Mozilla, oh and the email client program with StarOffice. Each one has something good about it, but none of them are as good as Outlook. One of the big problems might be the fact that I don't know how to configure them, of course. One of the big problems is that people will need to read and send mail in English and Russian. I'm trying to recall, but I don't think I could get StarOffice and KMail to permit Russian. Actually I could write in Russian in KMail provided I opened a letter that was already in Russian and composed my letter in that letter. Understand? Evolution and Mozilla basically crash all the time on me. Is there really any difference between Mozilla and Netscape? I liked the fact however that I was able to convert all of my Outlook folders to Mozilla. This will be of critical importance as well. Finally, I couldn't figure out how to get any of the programs to encrypt passwords for logging in to our Exchange server - perhaps this is impossible consider different technologies? Eventually, however, I would like to shut the Exchange server down, but that's not in the planning yet. So, I'm what other programs people use and find to be very good. I haven't tried Pine, but I don't think I could get our users to go over to a non-GUI program. Thanks. Curtis
