I've used sylpheed before as well, but I liked Kmail better because it integrated with KDE better, and had almost the same set of features. With Evolution, it has about 95-99% of the things Kmail or sylpheed have. i can't figure out how to make it use maildir instead of mbox for example, but thats really a minor thing. for example, it has what are called virtual folders, where i can do a search of all my regular folders, and save that search in a virtual folder. the v-folder's show up and act just like a normal folder, except that they contain messages that matched the search. you can store them and go back browse them at any time. it's got a integrated calendar and task manager, as well as a spell check that actually works! I've just recently started playing around with it today so i don't know alot about the more advanced stuff yet. what got me interested to start with was this article at slashdot http://slashdot.org/articles/02/05/02/1140205.shtml?tid=170 Nathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
