-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Niels:
I read what was posted regarding Zimbra and Scalix from each respective company. They are both designed for workgroups and currently I'm just one fellow running YDL 5 from a laptop. In essence, what they both offer is way beyond my needs. If I had to make a choice, I'd lean towards trying out Scalix but as I've already stated I've nothing to really test it out against. I did notice that Scalix relies upon Fedora 7; the current release of YDL utilizes Fedora 5. It just may be that whatever future release of YDL may be, a workgroup may want to consider Scalix at that point. If you are willing to consider how a lone individual may participate as a newcomer into an established workgroup using these or other collaborative based systems then I would like to suggest that the program Claws Mail be seriously considered. Claws Mail is designed as a very straightforward, no frills email client which eliminates the excess baggage which comprise many emails today. Although the "frills" may be appealing they also require quite a bit of CPU time and often add nothing pertinent to the actual message anyway. However, Claws Mail has plugins, as well as rules processing which can be installed and utilized or not, as an individual pleases. Claws Mail is very fast. Various plugins allow for catching Phishing attacks, using OpenPGP, various spelling dictionaries, etc. Claws Mail can function with POP, and IMAP and via plugins also handle vCalendar messages used by Evolution and Outlook as well as understand mbox. Personally, I find it quite neat that I can see updates from a cron job while I'm reviewing other mail all within Claws Mail. The version of Claws Mail available with Fedora 5 extras, is not the latest version, but it certainly contains all the features I've mentioned and more which I don't use. It is quite obvious that not all tools are useful under all conditions. However, if I had to participate in a workgroup within a few hours I'm quite confident I could get Claws Mail to meet the peculiar task which I may not have considered needing until then.
