evolution mayb because its closest to M$ lookout in feel and features, and there was a time when with novells dominance it was popular so a lot of corporate clients still need / prefer this. Thunderbird is good, i have used it for years but in the end gave it up because it became unreliable. It could not handle slow net connections and it gave up being able to download gmail. Am using Kontact - which has quite a bit of what you want, and may be more. right now the only reason i am using it is because it is downloading my gmail mails. Given a choice i might still use thunderbird because of its simplicity and ease of use and ease of configurations. But Kontact is much more richer in terms of multi tasking features and quite a decent tool too. ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
