  I have tried them - I was disappointed with both. Now remember, I use Microsoft
Outlook for my e-mail client, so I want a full featured client with good contact
management, multiple account support, KPilot support (for Palm Sync'ing), etc.
Both of them had those features, but fell short of what I wanted.
  Which mailer met my demands? I've found KDE 2.0's Kmail is excellent, and I'm
hoping to switch to it from Outlook very soon. Kmail has a lot going for it -
built in HTML engine via KParts (Konqueror), great contact manager (KAB), and a
nice interface.
