Well it's official. I have been given orders that if I can not fix these two issues:
1) Reply on behalf of for a mailbox (I have skirted this one for a while but an IMAP mailbox does not have the ability to 'send on behalf of). 2) View Flags (which I was going to skirt by watching the messages in Outlook client via WINE then pull the file back local when I pick it up) I have two weeks to find a solution or I have to convert ALL my mail back to Outlook. This will effectively end my 'experiment with Linux if I can not get Outlook to work correctly (their are a few stability issues with Outlook reading large complex emails under WINE which is why I looked to evolution). Any comments are welcomed. I understand their perspective but am racking my brain to find a way around these two issues.
