You will be hard-pressed to replace Outlook, if you are really using all the integrated and proprietary email-calendar-contact management. However, I run my own mail server and use IMAP to store my email, and I've retained *all* non-spam email received and sent, with attachments, for over 10 years. It comes in at about 12 GB, all accessible almost instantaneously from whatever email client on whatever computer I elect to connect from. I back up my mail store, among other things, from my server in LA to my laptop here in Hollister nightly, using rsync. It takes like 3 minutes. I've long wanted to move to the next step of integrating an LDAP server for my contacts and iCal entries, but haven't gotten that far yet. So, while you won't find a drop-in replacement for Outlook for Linux or Mac (unless you go with Mac Entourage), the pieces are there just not integrated in a monolithic app. Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
