Hm, interesting.  I'm afraid to upgrade my Ubuntu server box, for fear of 
breaking the postfix/courier-imap/mysql balance happening there.  Perhaps I 
should look into Zimbra, if it will be possible to import 2 GB of existing 
email. :-)

Screw Outlook, though.  How's its Thunderbird/Lightning or Kontact 
integration?

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
