    no good excuse not to uninstall Outlook from their machine
    There is one good reason..
    Like Internet Explorer it's part of the OS now. You'll kinda mess things up.

    For users who want an industreal e-mail client Eudora is far better than Outlook anyday.

    Also some users (*Cough* Rush Limbaugh *Cough*) complain that the massive amounts of e-mail they get kills most e-mail clients.

    As Unix experts learnned long ago Pine has no such problems and there is a Windows version.

    Mahogany is annother full featured e-mail client that could easly drop in replace Outlook in most cases.
    And it's open source.

    I think people go out of there way to suggest Mozilla mail over Eudora becouse Mozilla is open source.

    But... Mozilla is a web browser and EVERYTHING takes a back seat to that. Including the e-mail client.
    If any e-mail client outside Microsofts own Outlook were to support viruses it would be a browser based one and Mozilla is not immune.
    Highly unlikely true.. but it's the MOST likely cannidate.

    Scribe looks intresting for corprate e-mail.

    The point being here there are quite a few alternitives and it might be worth your time to check them out before advocating a client change to your friend or boss.
    You'll go a lot farther if you advise a client suted to the needs, environment and culture of the target.

  3. Spell checking works by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Interesting · on Filter-foiling Gibberish Becoming A Spam Staple
    I've written a bayesian filter into my email client. And it was this added peice of functionality that makes a big difference. It spell checks each word in the incomming email that isn't in either corpus of mail. In the case that it's misspelt it weights the word in the spam direction.

    The upshot is that it makes using nonsense words pointless.

  4. What's on my drive(s) by duckie13 · · Score: 1 · on What's on Your USB Pen Drive?

    Drive #1 - 8 MB IBM M-Systems DiskOnKey

    This is basically for Windows only, i.e. only when I'm at work.

    In the unencrypted 6 MB section, I've got some basic "stuff" - C / Perl code I'm working on, text files, edna playlists, and a copy of FCE Ultra, just in case it's needed.

    In the encrypted 2 MB section (which is accessed with M-System's KeySafe util), I've got a copy of PuTTY + key, TightVNC, and i.FTP, which is a small FTP client that's not too shabby (picked up from TinyApps.org.

    Drive #2 - 64 MB Lexar JumpDrive

    All that's really on here is my Knoppix /home directory. In there is my Perl script, data files, emulators and ROMs that I'm currently working on for an HTPC-type of project (more info can be found at http://dev.tonydanzabonanza.com/tuxstation/ ).

  5. LGI by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Cross-Platform GUI Toolkits (Again)?
    I've written an XP gui lib - LGI.

    It does most of what wxWindows doesm but takes a little more consistant look and feel approach by avoiding the native widgets and having it's own. This makes for very consistant feel on different platforms. Something which I certainly appreciate in my flagship spplication: Scribe (an email client).

  7. Spent 4 hours looking into this yesterday. by Spy4MS · · Score: 1 · on Can We Finally Ditch Exchange?

    I have a similar problem. I'm trying to move all of my clients to IMAP (which I love), LDAP (which I don't like so far), and a nice group calendaring solution (which I haven't yet found, iCal perhaps?).

    I found a lot of projects on Sourceforge that were in various stages and trying to solve the Exchange-on-server problem.

    Courier looks promising. And here's a group calendaring option. Eridu is a sourceforge project in beta that tries to solve the problem with web-based email and calendaring, but you can't drag a message from one folder to another on a web page :(

    IMAP works beautifully for storing and retrieving messages on the server, but Outlook (which I also hate) doesn't handle it too gracefully. Email notifications always send you to the Personal Folders inbox, rather than the IMAP server inbox. No way to fix that. I will probably always have to deal with Windows clients since that's what everyone is used to and programs with, so Evolution, nice as it seems to be, is not an option. I came across InScribe in my searches for a good email client with calendaring and inbox filtering. It might be worth a look.
