Corporate Email Clients Reviewed

Posted by timothy on from the to-head-off-your-whining dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Some companies seem to take the easy way out by depending solely on Microsoft for their email needs. To all IT managers who want to breathe easier, however, there are about eight alternatives in the market today, including Barca, Calypso, Eudora, Lotus Notes, Pegasus, Pine, The Bat and Mozilla Thunderbird--all featured in this review."

    I understand that /. has a serious anti-Microsoft slant, but what justification is there for leaving Outlook out of the related links section? As for the linked article: it is sorely lacking any real information and the "review" is nothing but a poorly written listing of advertised features.

    One of the main benefits to using Outlook is the groupware features. The abilty to use it as an email client is usually the second reason, behind the calendering system combined with email client reason. Comparing Outlook to Lotus Notes or Novell Groupware makes a lot more sense then Pine, The Bat! or the majority of other email clients "reviewed".
