Hehe I need to remember enough about Unix mail environments to get Evo onto my desktop machine whilst keeping new and read mail on the server. > > 3) What *is* the version available > 1.4.5 is the currently release stable version. > It's excellent.

I just want a good solid email client - which Evolution is.

So long as it doesn't go in the direction of super-bloatware :) See above tho... lots of little components with well-defined and documented interfaces can be installed, left out, or even replaced with something from another vendor entirely at the choice of the user is fine in my book :) cheers Jules _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
