Hi :) I think Evo has released a new version very recently, maybe last week or last month or something?
Some people prefer to use separate apps to replace Outlook. Thunderbird/Claws is good for emailing. Claws is much lighter-weight and good for low-spec machines. Perhaps try Thunderbird first? There are a lot of choices out there and we had a discussion here about the different ones a few months ago. There are good options for calendars too apparently or project management if you want something a bit heftier. If you are on Windows then a regular search-engine such as google might give you options but be careful to try to prefer OpenSource and/or Free Software rather than FreeWare! Check it's got a GPL or LGPL or MPL licence or feel free to ask somewhere like http://www.linuxquestions.org and just tell them you are trying to be prepared for a slow migration.

I do have plans for an added partition for Ubuntu some time in the future. Saw an article the other day M$ is going to make Win8 incompatible with running another OS side by side. Hmm - M$$$$! And, I am most appreciative of all the folks that work with LO, as it is an excellent path/replacement for many $$$ it takes to run M$O!!! Its too bad the same group is not handling Evolution as from what I can tell it is pretty much an "Outlook killer". But it is very unstable on Win7 - so much so I would not depend on it for my email. Roxy Hi :) Impress is not perfect but it is being worked on so if something is not working now it might well be fixed in a scheduled upgrade.� I don't think this problem is anything like that tho.� I think it's just that we are being a bit hopeless and don't know a good answer yet.� There is a LOT of other software out there especially in Gnu&Linux.� Try a quick search in your package manager and try things out until you find something that doesn't feel too alien.� Hopefully Regina or someone will magically appear and solve it.

Why go outside the program and try to learn something I'm not even familiar with? The biggest problem was that the included program help file does not describe "how" very well.
