PS e16 == Enlightenment 16, e17 == Enlightenment 17
I have lots of mail in some format that KMAIL can deal with. Is there a way to transfer that to Enlightenment?
The format that Mail is stored is largely independent of the desktop that is used, it is more a function of the eMail client. There are two primary approaches mbox and maildir. In the former mail folders are stored in (usually indexed) files, and in the latter in a directory structure. I tend to prefer the latter because it is usually less vulnerable to corruption due to unexpected system events, ( and as I primarily write and test code on my machines the possibility of generating such an event is rather higher than I care to admit to :-) ). AFAIK There is no reason that KMail should not run on a desktop other than KDE provided the right libraries are in place but (and it is a very big but) this is not something I have ever tried out.

HA! Same with me. Makes me feel like an aging Luddite. My kids (all in their 30's) use their fancy cell phones like ducks use water. I almost need to rap my knuckles on their heads to get their attention away from their phones.
Stroustrup is one of the primary players in the development of C++, and I have always interpreted this as a comment on the bad habit of programmers and designers of over complicating to an extent that something originally simple to use becomes unusable.
I never use any of the fancy stuff, except for saving names and phone numbers -- that's great. For example, whenever I try to put a call on hold I always inadvertently hang up on the current call. I can actually put them on hold but can never gat back to them. The only relative action I can find is "end current call" and that hangs up everything.
I have been a strong fan of handheld computers since I acquired a PSION 3c, and currently use an ageing Nokia 9500. The integration of telephony and handheld has greatly simplified the tricky process I used to have to go through to get a PSION 5 to connect with a mobile phone.
Also my blackberry's numbers and letters don't match the rest of the world. So I can't dial things like 1-800-FLOWERS.
I'd better stop here. :)
