Was that John Wooden talking about teams or whatever?

I don't know the difference between POP and the other things or what Gmail uses or what my school uses. I tried following the direction's on the school's email thingy, but it didn't work.

Exchange mail doesn't download on your hard drive, it stays on the server… What you see in your client is a view of your folder on the exchange box.

The product was not really hard to configure, the wizard did everything I needed :)

It's not an interface thing for me. It looks a bit like Outlook. I just don't want my email downloading to my hard drive. I also have no idea how to configure Evolution, or how this is all supposed to work. I can't figure out how to use Outlook either, though. I switch into "can't set the VCR clock" mode when it comes to Outlook.

Yeah, Evolution's interface is really ugly, but it connects to my Exchange server and let me look at my stuff without any problems.. I'm impressed :)

Evolution supports exchange servers, and that's in Ubuntu by default (I'm trying to figure out how to get RID of Evolution because I prefer webmail + Sunbird, but that's another story). By the way, check out makingtheswitch.wordpress.com It's a Microsoft employee who just switched to Ubuntu.

Definitely, Linux is definitely more user friendly today then it was back in 03.. thanks to distros such as Ubuntu…

I'm going to set up ubuntu as a VM this week and try to see if I can keep using it in an hardcore MS environment :)

I don't realy have any concerns about doing that, except for interaction with my exchange server.. I'll have to dig up to see what I can do with this.

I just thought of something.. You know how firefox made all those free TV spots from the work of fans? I'm sure something similar would be hugely successful with Linux…
