I would recommend kmail/kontact that comes with every KDE desktop. It has a lot of features, integrates a calendar, addressbook, news reader and rss feed, and even syncs to my Palm Tungsten E. Kmail can import a wide variety of formats of mail, including eudora's mbox format. (Eudora is one of the few reasonably well behaved Windows email clients that actually conform to unix norms). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil.
