I was just wondering if there's an equivalent to Microsoft Exchange (Outlook). See I want to be able to use a KNOPPIX tool to download, read and sent Email through our Exchange server at the office. I really want to step away from Microsoft products Smile Thanks, Marc.

There are other decent clients like Kmail and Mozilla Thunderbird but I'm not sure about Exchange support for them. __________________ Registered Linux user #378740 New members read here / Forum Rules #linuxforums on irc.freenode.net

You have to install the Exchange plugin. I think it used to be called evolution-exchange but I noticed in Fedora 7, they had it named evolution-connector. See if you can't find one of those.

I'm not sure what packages are available in the repositories but try executing Code: apt-get install evolution evolution-connector as root. Or it might already be installed on your system, if so just run Code: evolution
