[TriLUG] Speaking of Email

[matt-nc]

I'm migrating from Windows to Linux and have been wondering which email 
client to choose.  I've been using Eudora Pro 4 for many years and like the 
way that I can back up the individual mailbox and table of contents 
files.  I suppose any of the top Linux email programs have a good way to do 
backups.

I've mainly heard of Kmail, Evolution and Thunderbird.  Any suggestions or 
comments about the relative merits?  I'm presently running Mandriva 10 but 
I guess that shouldn't make a difference.

Would any of the Linux email clients be compatible with the Eudora .mbx and 
.toc files?

Thanks,
Matt
