I agree with that. I do use IMAP so I am not in danger of losing any emails, plus I can view them from any computer as I store them on my own web site.On 09/03/11 15:55, Gordon Henderson wrote:On Wed, 9 Mar 2011, Neil Winchurst wrote:I do want to see lots of people move over to Linux. The choice of packages is important. I suspect that some will be looking for a reason to move back to that other system. An email client that seems unnecessarily complicated could be enough. CommentsWhy burden them with an email client? Get them setup with a decent webmail system and forget it. Then they have no local emails that'll get lost, can access it from anywhere, and when they're ready, transparently use a smartphone/tablet, etc with imap client to access the same email & folders, etc.If you use an IMAP client like Thunderbird then you have the same set of benefits. Plus, Thunderbird is much nicer than any webmail client I've used (including SquirrelMail). Anthony
