Thats what my wife uses on her Red Hat9 box. What I don't like about it is the way it stores emails. I use sylpheed-claws for email / news because I love the way it stores all the messages as plain text files which you can grep and cat. If Ximian dies you cant read your data on the command line.

I'm sure Ximian would be good for the other PIM stuff but its a bit bloaty to be not using the email.

When (in a previous life) my Outlook pst file got larger than a cd could hold I realised that plain text files are the way to go for simple stuff like this.

Is there anything else out there?
