Any reports?
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. -Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
