She is like me and old computer parts. She doesn't throw *anything* away :) Seriously, she compiles a good percentage of the messages she receives and extracts the information and organizes it by year and puts it into folders. PMMail makes this pretty easy for her and so will Thunderbird and with the additional features like the Calendar and task manager add-ons in TB, it is a dream come true for her. BUT, there is the problem of saving all of that data from PM and getting it into TB.
The mail is easy: create a local imap server, and export all old mail to it from the virtual machine. Then import all that mail it TB, or just leave it there. The addresses... dunno.
Now, what does this have to do with CALLER ID you ask :) ... that is my other problem....every time anyone calls, she MANUALLY records the name and number and time in her computer by hand by transcribing from her phone caller-id log. THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY!!!!! I just can't find it for SuSE. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, so a pointer in the right direction would be appreciated.
Hum! Hylafax can record in the log the caller ID, but it is not clean: it records many thing more. However, the info can be extracted from there. I played a bit with that some time ago, I suppose I can dig out the info again. If she wants to use the fax too, then it wouldn't be much of a problem to do it this way. I don't know if there is a simple app that simply logs the caller ID, which is what you really need. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
