8/1/2023 0 Comments Communigate pro release notesOne of the IT faculty at my college was sitting next to me using PINE on XP. One note: though I have used a lot of mail clients, I've never had the need to use any groupware features in a mail/calendar program, so take my comments accordingly. On top of that, it's configured just the way I like, with easy and very fast access in a terminal or over ssh. And, with lbdb it can access my Palm databases (otherwise managed with jpilot, which is also my calendar app) with auto-launched external viewers, I can see pretty much any mail content or attachment with procmail and spamassassin, I have all the filtering I need with offlineimap, I can use it on my laptop without an internet connection. No other e-mail program I've tried has let me be so efficient in handling e-mail. Sure, the initial setup of config files can take some time, but to me, it's worth every last bit of effort (we're willing to install Gentoo, after all!). Personally, though, after trying a lot of programs, my hands-down favorite for e-mail is definitely mutt. Both also have good addressbooks, and Evolution can sync with a Palm (if you can get gnome-pilot to work). For calendar/appointment stuff, Evolution has a calendar component, and Mozilla does, too, if you compile with "mozcalendar" in your USE flags each, I think, is iCal compatible. I've not used the KDE stuff, but for e-mail alone, either Evolution or Mozilla's mail component (or Thunderbird) are excellent. I'm using the CVS ebuilds, and it certainly does. Kontact hasn't been released yet, but I fully expect it to kick some ass once it does in a lil over a month. I think of released software, Evolution is the best client groupware solution and kollab (the new name for the kroupware software) is the best software solution. If an organiser/scheduler, mail, PIM is all you need (without groups) - the kde's apps: kmail, korganiser and kopete are the best i've seen so far. Or even Organizing software without group aspects What I meant with Groupware is software that allows you to organize timetables and data accross a team of users. Luckily I could import my mails from Balsa which I tried before. Try Evolution as well, been out for ages now, very stable. KMail, Kontact and Kalendar and a few other bits n bobs have all been integrated fully. (deep inside i'm still a tux's little helper)īy the looks of it KDE 3.2 (to be released in December) is going to have a killer selection of fully integrated groupware apps. AFAIR kolab fits under kroupwareītw: what does a groupware app do?. I don't have much experience with groupware apps, but i've read an aritcle in LinuxFormat, saying that Kroupware is ATM the boest groupware package in linux. i have to say that i like kmail the best (comes with kdenetwork) I've tried pine, mail, evolution and kmail. Before choosing one on my own I'd like to ask you as a comunity what your experience has been.Īnd by the way - Gentoo needs an official WIKI!! I'd like to start a thread about what group or email Software fit's best into Gentoo, what are the supposed ways to install (I couldn't find an ebuild for Kolab.), what are the meanings about the strengths and weaknesses in the comunity?Īs I am beginning to switch to Linux permanently I need an email client to satisfy my comunicational needs.
