Which Organizations Have Standardized on Mozilla?

andy brunetto asks: " We are investigating email clients to deploy as our "standard" at the college where I work. I'm trying to find out who is using Mozilla for their email. When I say "who" I mean organizationally, as I realize 99% of us geeks already use it. What organizations out there are rolling out Mozilla as their standard web and/or email client, and why? Yes, we are considering using Thunderbird, once it is final. Thanks!" Hopefully this will make companies realize that the Internet isn't comprised of just IE users.

  2. I wouldn't touch the mozilla e-mail client... by grishnav · · Score: 1, Redundant

    It's a piece of crap, and far too buggy for everyday use. I have problems with everything from multiple accounts to SSL.

    I use Evolution for my mail client (and NOT with the Mozilla libs, because it inherits bugs from them).

    However, as of 1.3, I've been pretty satisfied with Mozilla as my primary web browser. It seems to work well enough for me to get along with it.

    IE is not so good as you think. IE can crash many ways. it depends how you are "created" new window, in XP or 2000 there might be some settings, but in default if you use ctrl-N then all windows crashes which are started from same process.

    When IE crashes it may take down all Explores whit it. Then Windows try restart Explore and it allways happend so succesfully.

    In worst case IE blows down whole OS.

    then it feels like sucking Mr Gates Balls (Feels not so good)

    Check out "SpamBayes". Their web site says they have an Outlook 2000 and XP plugin, runs IMAP, and works with Mozilla too.

    I never used it, just have it bookmarked.

  5. Outlook = More Features by b!arg · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I just like Outlook because I can do email (POP and HTTP), and have my tasks and calendar all in one. My email is perpetually open so I want all those other things in there as well to remind me to do crap, because I'm quite forgetful and hate paper calendars. I need something that will yell at me and that I'll look at EVERYDAY. I frankly don't understand how there is no complete rip-off of it's functionality out there on Windows. The HTTP mail is secondary but why is there nothing out there that has email, calendar and tasks all in one. Even just email and calendar! Mozilla mail is fine, I like the junk mail feature (except how it alerts me when I get junk mail, but it's pretty accurate once I've trained it). But I can't access my HTTP mail and I can't put things in a calendar or create a task list. I tried Ximian Evolution on my Linux box (which does the trick most definitely), but alas my Win2k box is my main box (flame away). If there is, I haven't found it. Is there?
