Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.
Its been a busy week for me with work and today is the first chance I have had to sit in-front of my own pc.
Everything seems to be running well with my Ubuntu setup and as yet I haven't had any reason to need Windows.
I decided on Evolution because of the calendar and contacts and the Exchange link. I will have a perusal at thunderbird
and let you know how I get on.
Firefox crashed on me a few times when I was browsing my audible.co.uk account, I clicked a link to an audio book description
and firefox vanished. Other than that its been running smoothly.
Thanks
Austin

Just to add a little confusion.
About three weeks ago I rebuilt my daughter's Athlon 2000+ PC using my old socket 754 Athlon 3400+(?) and a new Asrock K8NF6G-VSTA board. I had a spare SATA 80gig and 2 gig of generic DDR RAM. It was too much bother to install XP so I installed HH 8.04 64bit.
Today I went over to see her and install some plugins.
"Dad" she said " that computer is much better than the old one with Window$ on it".
Sums it up really.

Dave/MMF special, Asrock 775Dual-VSTA, Intel core duo E6600 S775 @stock, 2gig DDR2 Team Elite ram, 300 gig Maxtor SATA, Seagate 160 SATA,160 WD IDE, DVB-T media card, on board sound, Nvidia 8600 GTS. 19 inch AVidAV TFT.

E-mail client software is just so last millenium. 
Webmail rules and it's the future.

E-mail client software is just so last millenium.
Webmail rules and it's the future.
I can see your point: but
Not for business, Webmail is rubbish. (personally I think that for home users too).
Slow, unfriendly and inflexible. ( I should add here that I run and use several different mail services, including Webmail, internal mail, external mail and connectors))
I want to be in possession and control of my email.
Webmail server dies? you lost your email, for a while at least, maybe a few days, maybe forever.
Router dies? see above.
ISP goes titsup? see above.
Non business user, not necessarily a problem, Business user, costs you money.
