It's not THAT crappy, from what I hear.

GW supports POP3/imap, right? So just about any Linux mail program should work that understands pop3/imap. You won't get the scheduling and other features, but it sounds like you don't care about those.

So use a different mail client - like kmail or mutt.

Am I mis-understanding something here?

Keep the Novell. Ditch Groupwise, mnaybe, unless you need the scheduling.
