<snip> I used to be a Zetnet user a few years ago and I remember back then that ZIMACS was a horrible e-mail client - so much so that I refused to use it. Seems like it hasn't changed.
Talking about mail clients - I've heard lots and lots of people rant about evolution and how great it is, so here I am, fresh from thunderbird, with evolution - but what the hell are they ranting about?
Am I missing why this is supposidly so good?
My review:
No you're not, it's awful unless you're under the thrall of Windows because of Exchange.
If you don't (1)have to use it because of such groupware requirements, or (2)need the HTMLificated ambience of Outlook Express, I wouldn't bother.
I would have said Thunderbird until version 1.7.1+ of kmail, when kmail finally "got there". It's now my favourite gui mail client, mostly because it's so featureful.
