There are things about Outlook that I don't like, but for the most part it's really nice.

Sure enough, there isn't a calendar, or even a task list. So, what do you use for the missing bits? I like Evolution because of the integrated Calender and Tasks. I'd have a hard time switching to Sylpheed-Claws, or any other app, that didn't at least have all three (mail, calender and tasks). Thanks for the "rant". And, I must say that Sylpheed-Claws is indeed nice. Regards, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Systems Aligned Inc. www.systemsaligned.com
