Well, I'd like a graphical application. I know Mutt exists... but I'd
rather something a bit more user-friendly. I'm pretty comfortable with
package management with aptitude, but I'd like my mail to be a little
prettier. Also, I get Dilbert comics in my email, which I doubt Mutt
would display.
Same for calender program. I want a GUI.
They do not necessarily need to be integrated. It's nice to have an
all-in-one program, but if there were separate components, that would be
alright with me. As long as I find something somewhat lean, and very
functional, I'll be happy.
(i'd also not have to install KDE just for Kontact... but if it's just
the most functional thing around, I might do it)
