Hi,
I'm now interested in seeing if I can run my favorite Windows email client (The Bat!) in my Mandrake. I've read various accounts of people running TB! very well under Wine, and others saying that they've had problems (like not being able to completely import all folders, etc.). Considering the latter, I'd also be willing to start from scratch with it, creating all the accounts afresh, and creating all my folders, filter rules, templates, etc.
Are there programs other than Wine that I might also look into?
Is there an online tutorial somewhere that explains how one goes about installing/using Wine or other similar programs?
I'm not sure if Wine would be good for operating essential services like a mail client. It works for a lot of programs, but it's quirky: your program might not run at all, it might run slowly, or it might run fine until you use some obscure feature, then crash. Try wine by all means, but you might first consider looking at the multitude of mail programs for Linux. Whatever features make you like the Bat, you'll probably find somewhere.
