Mozilla Thunderbird

I agree.  I personally like thunderbird, and believe that Evolution is
more of an Outlook vs thunderbird being more of an Outlook Express.
That is, Evo is a fully featured groupware suite that users can install
if they want it; but TB is the simple e-mail client that most people I
know want.  Even people I know who PAID FOR OUTLOOK don't use the extra
junk, they just wanted it for e-mail.

Thunderbird also integrates well with Firefox.  It has the same look and
feel, and so fits more easily into the typical user's day of
WWW-EMAIL-GAIM.  That's not to say that Evo doesn't look nice, but it
doesn't look LIKE FIREFOX.

If you need groupware, you can get Evo from Universe.  Alternately, a
look at Sunbird may be nice, though Evo looks more featureful than
Sunbird (at a glance).  I also heard there was a project to integrate
Thunderbird and Sunbird.

| For those who really want/need it, Evolution is but and apt-get away.
