I haven't the ability to read all the comments, and I probably shouldn't even write this post (strict work-internet rules here), however Ouch. I know flaming is generally excepted in moderation. But it must have gotten out of hand to have cause that sardonically worded apology. I hoped slashdot (its audience) had matured a little and could actually take the flame and still keep it's attention towards a actual meaningful discussion. But I guess not.
Actually yes, I'm forced to use Openmail everday at my work (I'm not going to mention names, but it's as big and old as IBM, but not as computer related). It's a slow agonizing death to use Openmail under NT (yeck on that NT word by itself). Granted the Linux port, while still beta, works as well/better than the equivalent Windows version which seems to have been designed originally for 3.1 and never left that era. But Outlook is far better than Openmail. Oh well, whenever the people making the decisions on technology actually become the people who understand the technology....
Yes! I agree with everyone, this is wonderful, I might actually buy a PDA now. [that is, one without a keyboard, the one I had gotten before was a Sharp Zaurus which was nice, it had a stylus and a mini keyboard, even with my huge fingers I could still type about 20wpm. unfortunately it broke:( ]
