It is free and seems to= work pretty well. I don't like either of the programs I've tried in Linux = to access it though: Evolution and Thunderbird. Evolution is slow and the s= etup is way more complicated than it needs to be. Thunderbird's UI is terri= ble. I would like to try slrn, but I haven't figured out how to set it up y= et. There is also Claws Mail, but I haven't figured out how to set that up = either. I just have to get the IIgs out I guess. :-)
