[brluglist] converting from M$ Exchange to UNIX mail server

[John Hebert]

Hmm. Good point. Evolution or Mozilla seems to be the
further along to address that, that I know of. I don't
use KDE. Do they have something like Outlook?

I also think that the problem is still being defined.
The argument could be made that Mozilla does most of
this already. Or maybe Mozilla would be the logical
place to start building such an app.
