I just got Office 2007 (it's awesome!) so I'm using Outlook 2007 now. Wow. What a difference! Spambayes still works with this version. We just bought a new computer (haven't hooked it up yet- had to order it and it just came in today) so I will be using Windows Vista soon. I just hope that all of my important software at least runs smoothly. Anyone have Vista yet? If so, what do you think of it?

Case in point: a family member just dropped off an old 486 and I thought (against better judgement) that I would boot it up, format and install Linux on it and pass it on. It boots, runs win95 (on 20 mb of memory and a 340 mb hard drive) but has data from a previous user, so it must be wiped. Long story short, I use it as a door stop for now and read to my 2 year old and leave computer experiments for when I have time. What version of Outlook are you using? Like Hugh said, until the extension for Thunderbird to sync with PPC is available and is bug free (or reasonably so) then why switch? There is a program which looks and acts exactly like Outlook but is free and open source like Thunderbird called Evolution. It handles sync to PPC and Palm just fine as well. But if Spambayes does what you need then why look elsewhere for another email client. HTH Peter Kaulback Lisa Schnepf wrote: > I installedThunderbird and Lightning, but I like Outlook better.
