That's what I used to do also. I hate Empathy with a passion. More and more though I am using google talk in the web browser since I have a gmail tab open all the time anyway. I also switched to Arch thanks to all this Unity stuff. If they tighten Unity up though I'll give it another try. It's pretty horrible right now though.
I never liked Evolution. It tried too hard to be Outlook. It was just as convoluted to configure, was buggy as sin and used an enormous amount of screen real estate. Thunderbird has it's issues here also but it's been far better than Evolution for some time now. I'm probably not the target audience anymore though, I've been using webmail for some time and have no intentions of switching back to a client.
Sounds like you're a shitty manager if you're getting that much junk and can't keep it organized. If you can't even manage a mailbox I feel sorry for the poor bastards who work under you.
People that get that much email get it solely to make themselves feel important. They walk around telling all their friends about the 400 emails they got today. They are the same people that have 30,000 friends on Facebook and think they really do have 30,000 friends.
I've been getting email for over 17 years and I've never gotten that much in a day short of when I was active on various mailing lists. Even then, i didn't get that much.
Stop giving your email address out to every bozo website that wants it and spam will virtually disappear. Stop subscribing for every stupid news feed and commercial website and your mailbox won't fill up. I've had the same address for 3 years at this point and I get 15-30 emails a day, most of which are important and valid. The ones that aren't are from my mom.
You do not get to pound your fist about free speech and then deny it on your own website. I'm perfectly aware of what free speech is and how the first amendment works. But being a political pundit(s) who continuously bitch about free speech and then denying it on your own forums is hypocritical in the extreme. You can not be for free speech in one place and opposed to it everywhere else. Not when your goal is to enter the realm of political thought and ideas. This goes for all sides of the debate. If you are censoring thought, you invalidate your claim to be part of the debate.
I had a very very conservative friend (I'm more libertarian) and he ran an oddly popular gaming blog but insisted on tossing his conservatism onto it (his blog, he can do what he likes) but he would go ape shit over liberals posting. He would censor stuff he didn't like but other things he would oddly leave very prominent on the page. I asked why and he said "Because I want everyone to know how dumb they are."
You see this from time to time at sites like michellemalkin.com when she posts the crazy emails she gets from people, stuff like death threats, racial slurs etc. It does your side some good to allow others to see how crazy the other side is. It fails however when you're just picking and choosing what info to leave up Pravda style.
Which is exactly why DKoS is a bastion of group think and goose-stepping morons. For people so into "Free Speech" and "The First Amendment" you would think those morons would welcome, you know, free speech. Instead the collective socialist mentality at that cesspool beats down and oppresses opposing opinions every chance it gets. God forbid someone actually disagree with the mob mentality. At least on Slashdot.......... wait nevermind.
Please o'wise one tell us how Republicans blocked anything with Democrats having a super majority for 2 whole years. Oh yeah, you can't. We love seeing how Dems filibuster everything, even leave states like WI to avoid voting when they can't have their way.
You mean since they took control of one half of Congress while Democrats still hold the other and the Presidency and have blocked every single thing the Republicans have tried to do? You're ignorance is amazing. They win half of Congress and are suddenly "in control." You're pretty much the gold standard for Slashdot posters though. Retard.
If a Democrat had presented this bill the majority of Slashdotters here would be fauning over how this would stimulate the economy, create jobs and advance science. But since the political partisanship here is so pathetic, it's clearly some type of evil corporate money grab.
This site is about as useful for political commentary as a toilet is.
So it's the fault of the devices and not the retarded telcom that refuses to build out it's network, besides the fact that there is an obvious demand. Fuck them.
No offense meant to the OP but posts like this are exactly why this whole thing was a bad idea. It's taken human being who are down on their luck and made them objects of ridicule.
I'm not opposed to the price tag. I think that's reasonable if spent on something motivational. What they did however, was in my opinion, demeaning to the unemployed. It's akin to your boss walking around the office and passing out candy bars for effort. Treating adults like little children is ridiculous. Lift them up, don't hold them down. The last thing these people needed while down on their luck and possibly in dire straits was for some jackass marketing person dressing them up like super heroes and playing fucking games with their self esteem. The people who thought this up should be fired in my opinion.
This is perhaps anecdotal but truthfully, the mp3 market is changing rapidly thanks to smart phones. I gave my iPod away a long time ago and haven't looked back as my Android phone(s) have been capable of doing a lot more. With the rise of smartphones the decline of mp3 devices will increase until it goes the way of the sony walkman. That I think leads into the "temporary" part of the Apple dominance thing.
The iPod was and remains a great device but it's usefulness is going to be short lived if current market trends continue.
Apple stock is way over priced and has been for a while. Microsoft on the other hand is on the decline in almost every way. Not sure I really care about either company.
No idea what you're talking about. I have a 4 digit UID, only because I didn't like my 3 digit one once upon a time. I've been visiting since Taco had this place on his dorm system in college. I even contributed a little code ages ago. This place and its "community" has always been flaming, trolling etc. The "system" has never done anything but promote high school popularity contests.
Don't like it? Don't read it. No one is forcing little Timmy to read it. I've never had a twitter account or Facebook account and don't intend to. Of course, we could just "pass legislation" so that people can't say things we don't like. I'd rather just not click the fucking things personally.
Slashdot Mirror
Open Ubuntu Software Center, click on Installed Software on the left side. Selected Evolution, click remove. No dependency issues.

If you wish to see how they are integrating it into the OS, yes. Duh

Voting fraud is almost a national tradition.
Pretty funny how she's actually right yet people on the left still can't admit it and it all must be some big conspiracy

"And what should they do instead?"
They could try knocking on it and questioning him. You know, like they do for pretty much everything and everyone else.

"The sign of a well-managed telecom is that its network is just at the point of being so crappy that folks are leaving."
Stupidity like that is why we have some of the worst broadband in the world. You sir should run for president.
So it's the fault of the devices and not the retarded telcom that refuses to build out it's network, besides the fact that there is an obvious demand. Fuck them.
Yes, you are the only person on the planet with only "half a brain." You're special.
Who cares? If Adobe can't keep up (entirely their own problem) then they will fade away.
