Re: [Evolution] will there be a Windows port?

I can confirm that Lookout does not run all that 'correctly' on CX
Office. It's better than nothing, if you happen to be forced into it (as
I have been), but still. I can't get our IT to either a) go to IMAP or
b) upgrade the excahnge server so I can use the Connector. <sigh>

The REAL opportunity I see is Evolution on Mac OS X, which doesn't
really have a viable email alternative (Entourage does NOT count! in  a
word, it SUCKS!).

If I could have my dream, it would be Evolution on Mac OS X, and, if
this were a perfect world, Mac OS X ported to Intel architecture. Now
THAT would give M$ a run for their money!

Just my $0.02 for the week...
