<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?
It used to be the gold standard of Linux mail/groupware. I'm a long time KDE user but used to use Evolution as it was head and shoulders above both KMail and Thunderbird (Mozilla Mail as it was at the time). However, KMail (Kontact) and Thunderbird have done a lot of catching up recently so the differences are less pronounced now IMO.
The biggest advantage it has is its ability to connect to an MS Exchange server though, so for people on corporate networks its invaluable.
