    I believe I have the same problem as Alex and I don't think it's an
    obsession -- but would an obsessive know that I wonder :-)

    I am looking for a mail/calendar/tasks solution that will support both
    POP3 mail (for my personal e-mail) and IMAP (or, the connector) for my
    works e-mail -- which, unfortunately is Exchange based.

    I need the system to deal with my address book and the extant mail I wish
    to preserve: both of which Evolution will do.

    I also want to keep my appointments, anniversaries and tasks somewhere and
    Evolution appears to be the only client for Unix to do that too.

    If it can integrate between address book details and anniversaries that'd
    be perfect too -- you know, the address book has the date of birth and it
    automatically becomes and anniversary in the calendar.

    If someone could detail, and then compare/contrast the other solutions
    that could do all that, it would be great!

    Sylpheed Claws has been suggested more than once, but just like Evolution,
    it doesn't seem to want to work with the Solaris 9 (8/03) operating system
    and Gnome libraries -- or rather I can't get it to compile and run; so I
    can't tell if it would be the solution for me.

    All ideas or suggestions (provided they are clean) would be gratefully
    received.

    Regards
