The mail it sends is the _least_ of its faults.
The problem with Outlook is that for many office workers its the ONLY application they know, and they use it for absolutely everything. Storing files, Documents, Mail, Spreadsheets, projects, everything. They can't even launch Word, or Excell unless they start from outlook. They are lost without it.
So blame the application for the idiot users. Any diffrence between that same user using Outlook vs Evolution? Or even Kmail? All their stuff arrive in email and they don't know how to launch openoffice... just click the attachment.
Only to be rudely awakened when they run up against its limitations (which are not at all hard to exceed), and it barfs its index and they are hozed. Since their entire world was in there, often stored on their local hard drive, with no backup it takes a major effort to salvage anything.
You mean the 2gb limit that was expanded years ago? Who's fault is it that they don't have a backup? And I never got the memo that its impossible for files to become corrupt in openSuSE....
Its another one of Microsoft's lock-in products and it appears that at least a few posters here have drunk the coolaid.
Like I said before I don't think there's a linux-based enterprise solution that's fully equivalent to exchange/outlook. I've been searching hard. Do you know of one? This includes support for the client on a Linux desktop.... well I never tried Groupwise maybe its evolution connector works? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
