As to the Outlook/Outlook Express vs. Thunderbird/Evo/whatever
argument, there are many legitimate reasons for people to use
Outlook/Outlook Express. Maybe they have a corporate standard, maybe
there are technical reasons (T-Bird doesn't handle IMAP right for me),
or they might just just like Outlook/Outlook Express better.
Agreed. But but that doesn't invalidate the two points I was making:
1) Thunderbird works on more than one platform: Windows, Linux, and
OS/X
2) Thunderbird eases the transition from one platform to another,
specifically from Windows to Linux.
If you are using Fedora Core 3, installing Thunderbird is as easy as:
apt-get install MozillaThunderbird
or the yum equivalent.
