In fact, I switched to Evolution for a while back with Evo 1.4 and then back to KMail with Evo 2.0 and KMail did all the conversion just fine. But I didn't have to convert much. Only one of my email accounts is POPed. I use IMAP for the rest so it doesn't matter what email client I use, conversion is as easy as connecting a new client to the IMAP server. > kmail is a really good mail client.

You can run KMail and/or Kontact on GNOME without installing the whole environment. You only need a couple of libs. I use GNOME apps on KDE, too, and I don't have GNOME installed. I have a few dozen MB of GNOME libraries installed and it just works. OK. All that said, we can not suggest Kontact as a replacement GNOME app (since it isn't a GNOME app) for Evolution, which is a condition some have already expressed. Some people hate using GNOME apps, other hate using KDE apps. Me? I'm fine with using good tools, regardless of which environment's tools they are written in. Personally, I have found more stability and reliability with KDE. I have friends who spit out the work "KDE" like chitlets, vowing to never leave GNOME. That's fine. I just roll my eyes while they have printing and evince issues and I can print anything I want and have never seen KPDF crash or screw up rendering once. My point is, my experience is mine. YMMV. Don't flame me because my environment works and yours falls apart. To be totally fair, there are, of course, bugs in KDE apps that I use and love. It took a year for Konsole to finally get rid of the "reloading tabs with the same name causes renaming of tabs" bug, which annoyed me (but at least, it didn't break and crash). That's just one example, and there are others, but for me, on the whole, KDE is far more stable. Again, YMMV. That's *my* story and I'm not going to impose my opinion on any of you...even though I'm right :) hehe. -- Lamont R. Peterson <lamont@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Senior Instructor Guru Labs, L.C.
