Please can someone recommend a usable Personal Information Manager (with ebuild) for Gentoo.

I especially need good to-do or calendar facilities to remind me of upcoming domain expiries etc. And if it integrates with sylpheed-claws for addresses all the better.

thanks in advance

Try Ximian Evolution. It's very much like Microsoft Outlook. There
is an optional pay-for plugin that allows connections to Microsoft
Exchange servers.

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?

I've ran into a couple problems with Evolution where the application
segfaults when accessing 'Settings' from the menu. I have submitted several
bug reports with stack traces, and haven't seen any patches yet,
unfortunately.

I would also think that KDE/Gnome would come with something of one that
integrates with e-mail and such.

I do _not_ love sylpheed because it doesn't trim the posts by default. ;-)

I'm to lazy to try it, but maybe it works under Wine...
