Linux Desktop Email Key to Success 478
littlepill writes "It looks as though email clients are vital for Linux to succeed in the desktop battle. ZDNet says, "the lack of a powerful email application could hinder the adoption of Linux on the desktop". So, even though Novell's Evolution is one viable and valid product, it seems that there is a clear "message to application vendors to focus on developing a quality email application for the Linux desktop"." I'm unconvinced- I think webmail will soon be replacing client side readers for all but power users.

Soooo, it's not so much that there's any hindering going on. And like the Magic 8 Ball, Ask Again Later.

Although I have a feeling it would never be too popular in Kansas.

The fact that the ZDNet guys are to journalism what China is to freedom, and couldn't understand the difference between an Email client (Thunderbird, Mutt, Pine, Outlook Express) and a Groupware application/client (Outlook) to save their lives.

That's a grand idea. wait, lets make it even better! I'll write down what times I'm available, put it in a small paper sleeve, write your name on it and wait for someone to come pick it up from me, and bring it to you! You can check off what times you have available, slip it in another sleeve, write my name on it, and send it back! Cool, huh?
