It's actually quite good; very MS Outlook-like. It's *almost* ready for prime-time. It's lacking a few features (nothing truly show-stopping), and the IMAP support needs a bit of work (I'm told; I don't use IMAP myself). It's quite sensitive to the theme you choose in Gnome, tho. Has a tendency to crash (or show blank emails) if it doesn't like the theme used. Altho they're still working on that, and - if you stick with the default GTK+ theme - all is cool. It's still "pre-beta" they say - the version number is meaningless. It has no relation to how close they are to 1.0 (i.e., offical release). Official release is "early this year", FWIW. Yeah, I use it as my main mailer. You can, too. > I run Mandrake 7.2 and love it. Though at the moment I can't get the new evolution to run. Yeah, that's my only concern. Still, eventually they'll get the RPMs. And ya never know - maybe I'll be brave, and try compiling from source. ______________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group - http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements-http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug
