Re: [orca-list] Introduction and questions

Hello,
My experience has been very much the same as what everyone else is 
saying regarding evolution and thunderbird, I prefer thunderbird and 
find it better. I wonder has anyone found the reverse? If you want to go 
with a text based email client then may be try cone, that's what I used 
to use (I also would recommend using speakup and brltty directly with a 
text based application).

A quick bit more general discussion about email clients. Evolution as 
far as I know is one of the few systems able to access exchange servers 
(I don't know if thunderbird has an add on for that). Also evolution has 
many other features like calendar, etc and if compared to the microsoft 
offerings, its like outlook where as thunderbird by default is more 
focused on email and news (although I would guess many features could be 
added as add ons). Thunderbird may be more familiar to those used to 
other mozilla products (eg. firefox) as its based on the same toolkit, etc.
