[MLUG] calendar and e-mail programs for Linux

[Mike Miller <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I'm moving this from discussion list because it belongs here.  We are
talking about Ximian Evolution but would like to hear about other
programs, mostly open source programs, that will handle calendaring jobs
and good MUA (e-mail client) programs.  Read on...

Thanks.  I just found this:

http://developer.ximian.com/projects/source/

So it is mostly GPL and LGPL.  That's very good.

Know any names or sites?

I don't know Thunderbird.  I guess that bayesian filtering requires that
the user's MUA can report back to the filter program what the user thought
of the program's choices.  So there's no way to do bayesian filtering
without feedback from the user via the MUA.  It seems like there could be
a trick to getting around that, but I don't know what it would be.  Can
you pipe a bunch of spam through the filter, then pipe a bunch of nonspam
through the filter?  If so, that could be a way to give it feedback
without having to use a particular MUA.

I'm interested in hearing more about Linux MUAs that do bayesian
filtering.
