Or are you looking for an open-source (or freeware) PIM (Personal Information Manager)? One good free email client is FoxMail. V. 6 Beta <http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/E-mail/E-mail-Clients/Foxmail.shtml> V. 5 <http://www.majorgeeks.com/Foxmail_d2055.html> The Bat! <www.ritlabs.com/thebat> (shareware) is my main email client however. A good free PIM is EccoPro. This is where you can find the latest version of Ecco: ftp://ftp.netmanage.com/support/pub/utilities/EC401/Ecco32/ it's the Setup32.exe The network files are here: ftp://ftp.netmanage.com/support/pub/utilities/EC401/Ecco32/Network/ The Tutorial is here ftp://ftp.netmanage.com/support/pub/utilities/EC401/Doc/Tutorial/ The User's Guide is here: ftp://ftp.netmanage.com/support/pub/utilities/EC401/Doc/Tutorial/getstart.pdf And a Tech Note is here: ftp://ftp.netmanage.com/support/pub/utilities/EC401/Doc/Technote/technote.pdf There are a number of mutual help discussion groups for The Bat! and EccoPro and an effort is being made to acquire the source code for the latter and make it public. Hope that helps. -- Douglas Hinds --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
