Hi Neil: I never used MS Outlook (have a license for Outlook 97), so
I'm not coming from that background. I did use MS Outlook Express for
several years, which from a *security* viewpoint was a big risk that I
regret taking. I *wanted* to use Evolution for my e-mail client, when I
installed Psyche, but the problem I had with the drop down menu not
working for "Copy" and "Paste" into new windows didn't help and I didn't
see that version of Evolution being easy to configure,if it is at all
configurable, for Privacy and Security, like Mozilla 1.0.1, which is far
from perfect. I'm sure the next versions of both will be improved.

Warren's IMAP Server procedure for that probably is the easiest, but I
haven't tried it yet.

Me too. After not doing much with it,until Psyche, it is now the
platform we most often boot into. I'm beginning to understand a little
about what goes on beneath the Desktop, which is UNIX and has a long and
steep "Learning Curve".

Please report back to the list about Quanta. One of our 2 MS Apps is
"FrontPage 2000", which we use for our web sites. The other of course is
"Office".

I haven't tried that yet. In fact this box is the only one without
Integrated Sound and it's the only one that has no sound. It has a
Turtle Beach Montego II card with an Aureal chip not supported. :-)
>Thanks for your help.
If I've helped you at all, I'm delighted. :-) I've learned a lot from
the book, "Red Hat Linux 7.3 Bible" and should receive the new version
for Psyche in 7-10 days. My 2nd book about Linux was "Running Linux,
3rd edition", which is a classic, but it is tough reading for a Newbie.
