It understands IMAP, can use LDAP for lookups (via little brother(IIRC)), is lightweight, highly configurable, can use whatever editor you want for writing mail, does gpg out of the box, and so many more things I'll run out of space before I finish. In short, it rocks. </standard_advice> -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | "There are things that are so serious | | steve@lobefin.net | that you can only joke about them" - | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | Heisenberg | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
