In other news, I want to point out guys to our Latest Evolution beta which comes with SSL support (IMAP and SMTP), Pilot syncing and LDAP in the default build. The team at Ximian has been busy fixing every bug you guys have reported (feature requests will have to wait until 1.0 ships, we are in feature freeze now) and we are closing bugs faster that you can report them. What are you guys going to do about this huh? HUH?"

    A company called Microsoft makes a product just like this. I think they call it Office or something. Actually, it might have come out a little earlier than this Ximian thing.

    Check it on on their site.

      Problem is, there appears to be no Ximian support for MY operating system


      Perhaps you didn't look hard enough? I mean the answer is as clear as the nose on my face Yeah you need to compile it right now, but its still beta, give it a couple months.

    I pledge fatwa on all GNOME users and their leader Josh Steiner (who uses satanic words like Yoshi!!!!!!!!). I also will kill any Ximian monkeys in the country of Afghanistan!
