If you drop just GNOME from "Gnome > email+calendar+addressbook+task management", then there are options. If you drop Linux I am sure you can use outlook. I use a Gnome desktop and no matter how ppl keep repeating the "you can use KDE apps" it does not work. Using KDE apps on a Gnome Desktop is like using a wine outlook on a Linux desktop, it works but there are zillion little things like cut and paste, default file browser, default web browser, system settings etc. that all are different. Using KDE apps in a Gnome desktop is just no option. > If you take out all the +s, then you can find individual GNOME apps that > collectively provide all those capabilities, albeit not in a tightly > integrated fashion.

If those Apps existed it would be no problem, the thing is there is no 100% Gnome replacement for the functionality that Evolution offers. Also when you are connected to some sort of groupware system, it might be problematic when you have 4 or 5 completely separate applications, because they all will need a connection to the groupware server. - Erwin -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
