Hi I am finally on the move and as part of the move will be setting my lan up fully. I have up to now been using Evolution but am finding numerous problems with it and so a switch is needed. What should I switch to? I was looking at piping through SpamAssassin into something like Exim to pass to the various folks and reading and replying through Kmail. Any thoughts? The other one is a while back some kind person converted some files I had into txt files. I now need the standard Evolution file (.vcf) into txt files. Can anybody help?
