    1. Does SCO certify that this does not include source from MS Outlook, leaked by HP :-) ?

    2. Why use a client that apes Outlook behavior, when better faster thinner clients exist.

    3. How much RAM does Evolution need now, for decent response? Last I tried on my 64MB RAM system, it took 72 seconds to load. About 16 seconds slower than Outlook. And 60 seconds slower than Mozilla mail.

    Meanwhile Linux watchers everywhere are waiting for the inevitable splinter group to drop off and start its own 'better' version now that a second release has rolled out. Said one caffeine-addled nerd, "We're just too close to some sort of agreement on what works well within the user community. Can't have that."

    Evolution? Pshaw! I tried it as a drop-in solution for my corporate mail client to get me off of NT. Too bad Japanese support FUCKING SUCKS! Guess I'll be stuck with NT a little longer, until you open sores wankers realize that ENGLISH 'AINT THE ONLY FUCKING LANGUAGE ON THE PLANET.

    Wankers.
