Whilst I agree in principal and happily run FreeBSD/KDE as my desktop at home, at work (despite logic dictating otherwise) I really have no option in this. Our choice of email client is decided by force of management ignorance on the issues (it goes in one ear and out the other) and also by the fact that there really aren't many alternatives to Outlook/Exchange's collaborative tools, ie shared calendars, ldap support, etc, etc. Any other option requires much more effort to setup and administer and is much less intuitive to use - management just want things to work, and in way they are justified and I am simply stuck until there exists a realistic alternative.

Cheers
Ric
