But you can replace Exchange on NT with HP OpenMail on Linux. :) It's not Free Software though. Reefknot is an in-development calendaring framework, supported now by e-smith (Skud went to work for them, asked if they liked the idea, and as if they were going to knock it back): http://reefknot.sourceforge.net/ I'm sure someone will develop and Exchange interface for it.

(Planning to give > Konquerer a go but not sure if it would be a problem running it on > Gnome. As I understand it is a KDE app) Konqueror runs fine for me under GNOME. Only two small problems for me so far: 1. Shortly after starting it for the first time, some part of GNOME (the panel?) pops up a window saying that some program isn't responding to the "Save" (?) message and asking if I want to kill it. If I do kill "it", nothing happens. Probably some little helper program or something hanging around that GNOME doesn't like. weird. 2. I've upgraded to the latest 2.1 beta Konqueror from Debian unstable, plus whatever other dependant libs and stuff it needed (kdelibs?). It now seems to have problems showing graphics in pages. But if I do a quick back, forward after it's completed loading, they then show. Where's the KDE bug tracker? Konqueror is very nice. I like it, unlike Mozilla. Mozilla has given me no end of problems. The M18 package in debian is acceptable if you know how to work around its problems. I once downloaded a nightly build and that seemed to work a little better. I recently got the 0.8 release and it royally SUCKED! It would load up my home page incorrectly and crash after I hit reload a bunch of times trying to get it to render properly. I happened to download the "talkback" binary so I was able to send off a good half dozen bug reports with "I just tried to view my home page" descriptions in the space of a half hour :) Does anybody else have problems with the supplied Mozilla binaries? Could my problems be due to Mozilla being compiled on (I guess) a RedHat box and the little incompatibilities between distros? When will the Debian package be updated? Grrr...

Re: [SLUG] Email Programs
Alen, it appears that the only time you set the frequency of auto POP d/l's is when you create the server process. Delete your exisiting one, create a new one and during the process keep an eye out for "Automatic" something or other. Tick it, and set the frequency. Bit of a pain really, hope they fix that.

Re: [SLUG] Email Programs
Hi all, Just sharing my experience with Evolution 0.8. Had a really hard time installing it but finally got it going. Have only been using it for a day. It does support threading. I am still learning how to use it and hopefully this message is not in html. I have been using Mozilla 0.7 but it was just too slow for me as my machine is quite old. So now I am looking for a new mail client and a web browser. (Planning to give Konquerer a go but not sure if it would be a problem running it on Gnome. As I understand it is a KDE app) Anyway two problems I am having with Evolution 0.8 are: 1. it crashes when I want to run Calendar. I think it is to do with the interaction of Evolution and Ical. (The way my installation was going I didn't expect too many things to work.) 2. and just a question if Craige or someone else managed to find where I could set the client to fetch mail periodically from the remote mail server so I don't have to keep clicking on 'Get Mail' button all the time.

John, one to play with now and keep an eye on for when it's really ready is Evolution. I've been using it the last couple of days and it's quite nice, looks just like Outlook 97 which will probably suite your master plan.

Threading is good, subfolders are good, works under KDE2, well, in spite of ;) (it's a GNOME app).
