It's handling of IMAP is, well, painful. It really does not do folders well, at all. I use squirrelmail whenever I want to move stuff around, or maybe Mozilla (only issue with Mozilla is its such a hog... I'd really like to see them reduce it's footprint.) (In all fairness to Mozilla, I run it a lot on my 166MHz, 64Mb machine, along with KDE 2.2, and apache, and a TV card... Try *that* with any modern version of Windows). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Date: Thu, 29 May 2003 19:35:06 +0930 >From: "Daniel O'Connor" >Subject: Re: preferred email system >To: Paul Robinson , Robert Stickney >Cc: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org >Message-ID: <200305291935.06164.doconnor@gsoft.com.au> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" On Thu, 29 May 2003 19:19, Paul Robinson wrote: > Mozilla.

You can share Mozilla address books to PalmOS I believe. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 9A8C 569F 685A D928 5140 AE4B 319B 41F4 5D17 FDD5
