Re: alternative to groupwise?

Hi Maura,

Maybe not as much to help in this matter, but to express compassion.
I have almost exactly the same situation as you - use only Linux, and
hate groupwise.
I used to forward groupwise before, but eventually I gave up and
learned to live with checking my groupwise account every now and then
via web-browser. Somehow the groupwise client I tried a year or so ago
did not work, and I gave up. There is a possibility that they fixed
that Linux client now. However, I would rather have all that mail to
come to my gmail, which is fantastic. So, if you find a way to make it
work, please, let me know.
