None .... Yet I belive MS is porting it to Solaris. anyways... I think it's
X which is weakened by not having Outlook. But then everyone is entitled to
his/her opinion.
One thing's for sure. There are more Outlook or Lotus Notes users than Linux
users worldwide.
Whether that's good or bad ? I dunno. I don't care.

Hmm.... How ?
Does it classify based on content ? I mean can it read a message (in
English), use some sort of AI to figure out how you'd like to deal with the
message ?
MailCat does.

I have 34 GB of it. I'll purchase another 17GB soon. 600 MB is cool.

Rgrep does not use an Index. try grepping 6GB. Try running a query on 6000GB
in altavista discovery. AV is quicker. But then.... use what you like. And
if you can't cope, don't crib. Filter mail you don't like.
