It certainly runs under Win4Lin as my other half tried that with Xandros before he installed CrossOver Office.

Connection Centre under this version ( v2.04 RC/3 ) will not always hide itself, then after using the program for a while it works normally - go figure! ;-) Under Xandros it minimizes fine to taskbar and shows in systray - despite the option to not show on taskbar and only in systray being ticked!

This should work well if the mail directory is held on one of the Windows partitions but I don't know if it will under Fedora on a Linux partition - does Fedora have the option to let Windows see shares like Xandros does? T> I've already accomplished that with Thunderbird. But T> Thunderbird isn't TB! Ahhhh so where did you put the mail directory...? Thunderbird isn't bad per se - it's a good replacement for those who are used to OE and want something simple. It lacks a Dispatcher - which I did suggest a year ago, and the suggestion was poo-pooed by the Thunderbird forum - they really couldn't see the need/use for one! <sigh> T> It's a shame that it doesn't seem like there's any interest at Ritlabs T> to develop a Linux version.

I suspect if further discussion is wanted on this it'd better go to TBOT - where there's been some interesting discussions about running TB! under Linux of late. I think I've set the follow up to this to TBOT - if I've mushed it, sorry mods! ;-) -- Cheers, Anne Registered Linux user #345132 Flying high with The Bat! v2.04 RC/3 on Xandros 2.0 Visit The Bat!
