Ximian Evolution's New Clothes
Lispy writes "Looks like everyone's favorite graphical email client, Ximian Evolution, will get a new interface with the upcoming release. I found a posting on the Evolution hackers bulletin board which leads to some mocked-up screenshots (here: calendar, tasks, mail, contacts and one of the shrunken navbar). Although this is mostly eyecandy, this could be the right time to make yourself heard. What do you think about a maturing Evolution that goes its own way and leaves the Outlook-like interface behind?"
When evolution supports multibyte characters - that's when it will surpass outlook. Seriously - I use Japanese and English email and as soon as I tried migrating to Evolution all my email just &#"%"#%\'"&#%\%"'&%!>('$

I have a mirror / cache of the mockup screenshots. Not all of them are up there yet but I'll put them up as soon as I get them

The beauty of POPfile is not that it is a spam filter. In fact, it's not a spam filter. POPfile is an email sorter/classifier. Subtle difference, but very important. You can train POPfile to sort email into "buckets" or categories of your own creation. Of course, one of those categories will be spam - it's just that catching spam isn't the *only* thing that POPfile does and that is why it's far superior than other spam filters. At work, I have about 8 different buckets set up that my email sorts into based on content. AWESOME for keeping your incoming email organized and keeping the spam all to itself.
