yes - but... I really would love to use the same mail client among our
linux and Windows users. And occasionally (and lukily) ther are windows
builds available from time to time. I would love to see them on a more
regular basis and would not mind to test them and report back to the
list/developers.

Jepp - but in this case, i don't think it's an missbehaving mail-server.
The one in question serves several million T-Online (German Telekom)
accounts/users and just insists on beeing RFC-compliant.

Unfortunately i am not an experienced programmer. So i have to stick
with testing/bug filing and perhaps building MSIs due to some binaries
beeing available.

I am on Linux, but on Windows as well (as most of my collegues/staff as
well). In addition i would love to encourage more people to use evo as
an alternative to Outlo.., as there is - in my oppinion - no better free
solution than evo out there which will be accepted as an outlo..
surrogate. Others fail because lack of integrated
Kontakts/Kalendars/etc.

Best regards and again many thanks for providing great software and
support.
