paul... this is all i see/get regarding your email address... nothing else
shows in my 'outlook' client.
How attached are you to using 'Outlook'? I ask because Thunderbird is an e-mail client that works on Windows (as old as Win98) as well as Fedora Linux (as well as OS/X, too.):

Using TBird on Windows will give you a leg-up for when you use TBird on Linux since the interface will be identical (within 0.01% difference). And it works really well. I use it at work to connect to our Exchange server.

As to the Outlook/Outlook Express vs. Thunderbird/Evo/whatever argument, there are many legitimate reasons for people to use Outlook/Outlook Express. Maybe they have a corporate standard, maybe there are technical reasons (T-Bird doesn't handle IMAP right for me), or they might just just like Outlook/Outlook Express better.
To say that using Outlook/Outlook Express is some sort of faux pas is just silly. Making someone feel like they are bad for using a product from big, bad Microsoft is nuts.
