Both are useful and necessary for business use. Exchange, because so many businesses use the exchange server, and HTML for certain interoffice communication that needs formatting, illustration, etc. That's why Evo is my business PIM and kmail is my personal one. I don't need HTML nor Exchange for my personal mail, and for everything else, I prefer Kontact. > What I tend to dislike about Kmail are trivia such as the user > interface > (it seems fussier than Evo for some reason) plus the IMAP support has > in > the past not been so good, though that may have changed. I have two main accounts in Kmail, both IMAP, and one Gmail IMAP. Kmail handles them quite well. I have never tried to set them up in Evo. I have a work-issued windows laptop on which I have put Thunderbird for personal mail. Kmail seems to handle Gmail IMAP better than Thunderbird. It seems to handle my other IMAP account, hosted by Verizon Business (a personal account that used to be a business account) the same as Kmail. -- Art Alexion MIS x3075
