And it rules  (http://smile.gif)

Mozilla also has native language packs, so I have it in Dutch now  :D

1.1 is the best version I think... cool features, minimum bugs (at least less bugs than Internet Explorer  (http://tongue.gif) )

Also, check out Thunderbird (Pheonix's email client). It should be out soon, and Mozilla is a bit slow ;)

I've heard about Evolution being the best Outlook-alternative, I know someone who uses it at work and he is quite content with it. I have tried finding it for downloading, but couldn't find it ...

I also like PC pine.  It's simple and it works.

It is designed for IMAP and SSL IMAP servers.

Is there any worry that Ximian will be sued for copying, the windows program since I am sure its licensed, registered, and all that jazz?

I can't see how they could sue Ximian without also sueing a half dozen other email clients. Problem is, Outlook is certainly not an original idea. Remember, Microsoft has never had an original idea.
