Thats a bummer,, Still, I already have a mail server using Postfix and pop3 for pickup.. Never used IMAP before, might be worth a try... is it hard to setup? I was pretty sure that pst files would be yet another proprietry format, but figured I'd ask anyway... I could do this with mozilla I think.. put the mail box's on the shared fat32 drive.. and set both mozilla for windows and mozilla for linux to use the same files.. that way in theory, I'd have exactly the same details in both.. that would have been great.. I love Evolution, (using it to write this email) but I do alot of work writing scripts for windows users and need windows for that.. I suppose that getting the wine for office would work to, but I like evolution more then I do lookout, so that seems the wrong thing to do. I like mozilla mail least of all... :-( I really hope they do port evolution over to win32.. it would be the step that alot of dual booters would love.. one mail box for both win and lin... yum... rgds franki
