The only reason I would want to use Outlook is that it makes syncing between my desktop, company network, and pda phone very simple - guess which OS my pda phone uses :-( ? (This is getting off topic, but I have to add my 2 cents worth in.) Most virus/worm/malware attacks go after MS Windows, and in particular Outlook. That is why I gave up using Outlook, and am trying to stay away from Windows in general. But much of the world is not as enlightened as you or I, so I have to make due. That is where Wine becomes a wonderful tool. Most of the apps that are only for Windows do fairly well under Wine, and that is why I am going through this exercise right now. Back on topic: If there is a way to get Outlook running under Wine, even without email support, I would be happy. So any help in getting that accomplished would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all for your help and comments. ken
