I tried DavMail last fall for about 30m and couldn't get it working
right so I gave up--too quickly I admit.  Maybe I'll give it another go.

FWIW, I still use lookOut! 2003, not 2007, because running 2007 under
Crossover somehow "takes over" the window decorations as Windows-style
decorations, rather than using my WM decorations, which is a major drag
because it doesn't support things like mouse-2-to-send-to-back and other
common mouse clicks.  Plus, every 20m or so the thing wakes up and sucks
down 100% of my CPU doing who-knows-what for a few minutes, which pisses
me off :-).  So, I stick with lookOut! 2003 and live with its quirks.


Still wishing someone would really concentrate on getting the
evolution-mapi backend working in a solid, reliable way...
