I've not found one of them I could tolerate yet. Gmail works fine with Evolution or other pop mailers. Follow the instructions here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=1555 to configure pop access and use authenticated smtp over ssl to send. You can configure gmail to archive a copy when you download via pop so you can delete your copy after reading and still be able to go back with the web interface to search old messages - very handy. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
