Along the same lines, solving problems that are already solved is also a waste of time (if you want a virus scanner for your email, this is best done on the SERVER not the CLIENT).Damn Right! And in a corporate setting the likelihood of a mail gateway or central server is much greater.
What about the home user then? Im pretty sure that some of my friends use Linux on their desktops, but I doubt that more than one or two beside me use fetchmail to get their mails.. Windows users are used to mail clients that fetch the mails directly from the server.. You won't get them all to configure fetchmail and procmail an avmailgate.. And the possibility to hook some antivirus application into evolution to scan for viruses in the mailbox will give place for companies to sell such solutions to the end-users that switch from one desktop to "our" desktop..
