Re: [PLUG] good linux mail clients

["Lee H. Marzke" <lee@marzke.net>]

My requirements for business and personal were to sync email, calendar, address books, and
todo's across my Android phone, Android Tablet and Ubuntu laptop.   As far as I have
found the only working solution is Zimbra - ( sorry I'm not putting my business on Gmail )
All these discussions ignore calendar and address books.   Don't people need
these on all their devices ?
