Hi David
I use Open Office which has everything you could want like
M$ Office. My preferred email client it Thunderbird.
The nice thing about both of them is that they are usable on
the Ubuntu & Window$ platform/OS.
Hope this helps
Cliff

Hi Everyone.
I'm looking for an email client that does everything that Microsoft Outlook does, and just as well (or better)
I've tried Evolution, and, while it is good as an email client, it has problems with connecting to my Google Calender. I've also noticed some other problems with it.
I've also tried Thunderbird, which is a fantastic email client, but it doesn't have a calender, which I do need.
Needless to say, it must be open-source, and available in the Ubuntu repos.
Thanks in advance,
David

Best email client? That might be a job for mutt, which, as they say,
sucks, but sucks less. Faster, infinitely more secure, infinitely less
buggy, in fact damn near crash proof, integrates well with Unix shells
(a huge plus), works over remote connections, can use your text editor
of choice (and of course there is only one sane choice), integrates
well with procmail, portable - use it anywhere anytime, etc.

Check out Lightning -- it's a TBird add-on that provides calendars and
todo lists. You can sync it with Scheduleworld; I'm not sure about
Google's calendar.

You might want to struggle with other alternatives for a while until
Thunderbird 3 is released. I understand it will have a Calendar
feature as well as many other improvements. When is TB3 coming out
anyway?

Just checked CNET, and it looks like the calendar addition essentially
means turning Lightning into an integral part of TBird, rather than
having it as an add-on. So it might be instructive to add Lightning now,
David, and see if it meets your need.
Best to all,
Pete

I'm a fan of kontact (I'm a KDE user). It has a calendar, but I don't use
it, so I don't know if itwill sync with google.

I'm kind of shocked that Google hasn't made an email client of their
own which can access the features of the Gmail website.

Anybody tried sup here? Looking through their site and forums feel it is
not yet ready to replace mutt.
