For Exchange 2003, you can't beat it. And from the chocolate vs. vanila, vs. neopolitan department: I far prefer the Evolution interface and workings to Tbird. And I like kmail far better than Evolution. That said, I am now stuck with Tbird at work (with DavMail for Exchange 2007) because, with all of its warts, it is far better than outlook. -- Art Alexion Attachment:
