RE: [TCLUG:22533] GUI mail client

["Austad, Jay" <austad@marketwatch.com>]

What I'd really like is a Linux mail client that I can point at our crappy
exchange server and have my calendar, memos, rules, and all that other fun
stuff work.  The only reason I really need to use win2k is for Outlook's
scheduling stuff.

I forget who this was, but there were two different projects to make a Unix
based MS Exchange clone.  That would be great news for mail admins who get
thrown into a bad Exchange situation.  Still leaves the problem of a decent
client though.

IMHO, Agent (www.forteinc.com) is the best Windows mailer/newsreader. it's
what kept me from moving over to Linux for a couple of years. it's one of
the most stable Windows programs i've seen; it's *fast* (even when dealing
with huge amounts of messages on older boxen); and it's *very* fast to use.
(has a lot of the same keybindings as mutt).
also has a very good filtering/killfile/sorting capability.

the company, unfortunately, doesn't plan on porting to Linux right now. :(
(I asked).

it supposedly runs very well under WINE; but in my experience it locked up
every time I tried to access the network. may be a WINE issue.
