Hi Phil,
When we were talking about mail clients for small machines earlier, I mentioned that kmail was not very good if you have large emails or large volumes of smaller emails. I got a response from one of the KDE developers that said kmail with KDE2.2 has been vastly improved for the lots of small messages senerio. Any chance you could check that out for me and let me know what you think.
I have been using kmail as my email client for the last few months and even prior to upgrading yesterday to the 1.3 version, I found it to be very good. I get over 300 emails a day and currently kmail is holding over 27,000 email messages. The only problem I have with it is it sometimes hangs when moving the cursor around in the To: and Cc: fields - but it has never lost any data - if I kill it and restart it, it starts up exactly where if left off before the hang.
On a side note, I've noticed that you seam to want to stay away from a LTSP style setup. Is this through personal experience, or just personal preference? Have you evaluated/tested this sort of setup?
I have nothing against it at all - it's just that on the current project, the school has zero money to buy any servers and many of the machines have to be used away from the network.
The reason I'm asking is that I'm going to ask here if I can pilot a LTSP/WINE/Win32 APP scheme and I was wondering if anyone had had a go at this.
I'm sure there are several on the list who are using LTSP. Cheers -- Phil Driscoll
