Have you looked at that? It is very Outlookish. HTH -- Dennis M. linux user #180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

They have a spanish version somewhere. It's pretty much like Outlook without the problems. For an email client I just went back to Sylpheed and use the Korganizer for trying to keep up with things. I find Sylpheed a lot faster though still being developed. saludos, Richard.

Go to http://www.pclinuxonline.com/modules.php?name=Search and run a search for bynari. You'll get a bunch of results. Bynari can be found at http://www.bynari.net/. I personally think that your best bet is Ximian Evolution (http://www.ximian.com/products/ximian_evolution/). It is GPL, and is designed to fit in with the GNOME desktop environment. It can connect with an Exchange 2000 server via Ximian Connector (http://www.ximian.com/products/connector/). Evolution is designed to look and act like MS Outlook (without the security holes or spyware, of course), so the learning curve for existing Outlook users is not steep. Evolution is already included in Mandrake Linux, and also in Ximian GNOME (http://www.ximian.com/products/ximian_gnome/). -- Sridhar Dhanapalan Nine out of ten voices in my head can't be wrong, can they?
