This may be off
topic but it also relates to Imail.
I'm always on the
look out for Microsoft alternatives related to client apps such as browsers and
email clients. Reason #1: usually I get very unusual results. The
drawback to going non-MS is that most of the app developers base
their web and email apps on MS apps. one example is cisco forces you to
use IE to manage their Call manager which has an admin web interface, you can't
use Firefox.
I switched to
Outlook 2003 a week or so ago and it is indeed very different from the previous
one that I was used to. GUI is attractive but a little noisy, more
features, rules, filters, blahblahblah. After I installed the first patch,
I noticed a new feature: Junk E-mail. Beautiful; the default
settings was getting alarms from my whatsup and I said cool. but after a
few days later, I heard screaming users saying that they couldn't send messages
because the server ran out of space. What?, my server w/over 100Gb free
disk got full overnight? It checked mailboxes sizes and the problem was a
nice and beautiful folder named junk e-mail under my account that grew to
109Gb!
Has anyone had this
experience? Also, I started using a TREO's versamail which somehow
duplicated all of my mail stored on the server (I have an IMAP
acct).
I like to use
Outlook just because it's an integrated program w/email and calendar but are
there any options besides MS that can take advantage of imail's email and
calendar facilities? I read something about Mulberry, how about
thunderbird? or am I out of luck? I haven't found a good solution
yet.
