Software :: What Is The Closest Mail Program To Outlook
Jan 11, 2010
I use Thunderbird. I find that without using a ton of plugins I can not get Thunderbird to do remotely close to what Outlook does out of the box. Truth be told the Microsoft Office suite is a really good suite of products, especially Outlook and it's integration with Word. I hate how is Thunderbird you have to have a plugin to have a calendar, and then being able to schedule appointments with people is a whole other project.
Also if you Forward an email it just creates a new email with the forwarding email attached as a .eml file. When that happens you get into compatibility of the recipient being able to read it (mainly web mail users). It is little things like that I get worked up about, but I have found Thunderbird is the closest open source client to outlook to manage my mail. I personally would like to find a client more like Microsoft Outlook that I can run natively on Debian.
I use Windows XP with Outlook 2003 (soon to be Outlook 2010) on my work laptop, and also the same on my home PC. I copy the .PST file containing my home emails between the two so I still have access to my home emails on my work laptop when I'm away on business. So, why am I mentioning this on a non-Windows forum?
Well, I'm migrating my home PC to Ubuntu, but I still want to be able to move the mail PST file to & from the work laptop, but I don't know of any Ubuntu mail clients that will work directly on the PST file. Those that I have looked at will import from the PST file but maintain emails in their own file format, which means I can't read the new ones again using Outlook if I have updated the mail folders with the mail client on Ubuntu.
So, does anyone know of and can recommend any mail clients that work with PST files directly? The analogy is like using Open office to read & write MS Word .doc & Excel .xls files directly without any importing or exporting. I should also mention that I've tried unsuccessfully to install Outlook using Wine, but it's not happening, same problems as described in the Wine appdb test results.
I have enforced to use the Linux /etc/passwd file to authenticate myself from Outlook, Postfix will accept mail from any IPs. However, I'm not able to send mails from my Outlook via my mail server to someone else on the Internet. Am seeing the following in Postfix's log.
Code: Mar 11 21:07:39 production postfix/smtpd[16366]: connect from pcdxxxxx.netvigator.com[203.218.211.256] Mar 11 21:07:39 production postfix/smtpd[16366]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from pcdxxxxx.netvigator.com[203.218.211.256]: 554 5.7.1 <someone@hotmail.com>: Relay access denied; from=<mate@mydomain.com> to=<someone@hotmail.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<Windows> Mar 11 21:07:42 production postfix/smtpd[16366]: disconnect from pcdxxxxx.netvigator.com[203.218.211.256] Here are my Postfix settings.
I am using Microsoft Oulook Web App. It is set to play sound whenever a new mail arrives but it doesn't play. I am using Ubuntu 9.04. what needs to be done to make it work?
I am very new to linux. I have to build a netwrok for small lab and office setup. Setup as below I have a PC running with Centos 5.4 and has 4 NIC cards. eth0, eth1, eth2 and eth3.
eth0 --- Connected to DSL and getting the Public IP address using PPPoE. eth1 --- 192.168.4.1 statically configured on the interface eth2 --- 192.168.5.1 statically configured on the interface eth3 --- 192.168.6.1 statically configured on the interface
[Code]...
I am able to browse from all the hosts behind each nic cards. But mails from outlook not working (sending and receiving). I have configured gmail in the outlook with imap and smtp. I tried allowing the port 25 using follwoing command, iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT . let me know what should be done to access mails from outlook
I am using Qmail mailing system. Now I want to block the outlook users to send mail(SMTP). I think it can be done through qmail smtp relay option.Is it the right way to block SMTP for outlook users??
I am a first timer in setting up a mail server. As I heard that Postfix is a very simple mail server to configure I decided to use it on the same server where we have our squid. It seems that it is really simple enough because immediately after configuring,I can send and receive internal e-mails and send external emails. As I replied to the external emails that I received myself I found out that all of them just landed on the mail queue and this is where my problem starts. I cannot make Postfix deliver the messages to my outlook mailbox. By the way, I am sending the emails the through outlook also.
I have Microsoft Office 2003 installed through Wine. However, all applications work fine but the outlook mail setting is not working as the POP setting screen becomes blank. Same with datafile (pst) setting screen.

Can someone please help me get this right. I am very new to Ubuntu and want to stay on Ubuntu but Outlook for me is a must have (I tried evolution but decided to stay with outlook).
I used a self assigned certificate openssl req -new -outform PEM -out smtpd.cert -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout smtpd.key -keyform PEM -days 365 -x509 i followed configurations from th below website [URL].. On my outlook client p.c`s whenever connecting for the first it pops up a message telling mi tht my certificate on my server cannot be verified then it continues after click yes.
How do i do away with tht message other thn buying trusted certificate Or refer me to a good site with Ubuntu mail server configuration which makes uses of mysql
these are the lines in my /etc/dovecot/dovet.conf file ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
This was the most useful program I had under Ubuntu and I miss it greatly; evernote is bloated and complicated. Is there something like tomboy for the mac? Bonus points for iphone sync.
just posted the same question in a thread with no questions allowed. deleted the message and here is the question again: I'm looking into updating my videocard with something more Linux-compatible (read: NVidia instead of ATI). Is there any kind rule of thumb as to what series of cards is supported best? Atm I'm watching a Geforce 7900 GT on ebay, is that a good choice as far 3D acceleration goes? Which card would you recommend to get the closest 3D support to Windows drivers?
P.S.: I'm going to play games with the card. I use PlayOnLinux, which works for a very high amount of my games, as long as I'd have 3D acceleration. Performance is irrelevant as long as it's higher than a Radeon X850XT.
I currently have Evolution 2.24.5 on Fedora 10, but I'm not happy with Evolution. I can't update to 2.30.1. So, Is there a better mail program, ie Thunderbird or SeaMonkey?
So, after over 10 years, I'm ditching KMail. I just can't take Akonadi anymore. After a few hours of running, it just sucks the life out of my system. If I need to run Akonadi to run KMail, then I'm done with Kmail. So, I've got 10+ years of mail stored in maildir format, and I need a new mail program. I'd like to stick with something KDE friendly if possible, but I'll take what I can get.
How is it possible to send email using the "mail" program? I tried: echo "testing" | mail -s "test" myaddress@gmail.com But nothing happened. I made sure that the sendmail daemon was running before I tried. Is there anything else that I have to set up first?
Is there an easy to use program that I can use to send mail from the command line? I want to be able to create a batch script to send mail from different text files. What I'm looking for is something like: mailapp mailserveraddress destinationmailaddress mymailaddress filetosend
I know I've probably should've searched a little harder than what I already did but... If evolution mail is closed, I get no notifications... How can I minimize this to the tray, or have the notifications show even with the program closed?
Is there an open source application that can download e-mails from a generic POP mail server, keep a copy of the mails locally and then deliver copies to multiple accounts on a LAN? I have a friend who uses a group e-mail account, and more than one person is always hooked onto that account. The problem is they cannot leave e-mail on the server, as it eats out their webhosting space, but if someone downloads a message in Outlook, the other users do not see that message.
Suddenly within the last 4-5 days my mail-notification program stopped starting.Googling the error really doesn't give much help, it sounds like the same error message is in tens of libraries.Anyone know what might be going on?Running Ubuntu Jaunty, and already tried reinstalling the program. It's the normal mail-notification from the Add/Remove Programs thing.
Apparently it only does this when it tries to connect to the internet. It runs fine when I'm not connected, but crashes as soon as I hit refresh. (And also crashes at startup when I'm already connected to the internet.)
Can anyone tell me what the pros and cons are between heirloom-mailx vs mailutils? This is for ubuntu 10.04 LTS. AT this point my only purpose is to use the mail command line program to occasionally send log output to email aliases.
The only reason I keep a dual-boot on my computer is because I need the calendar in Outlook. Is there a outlook-style calendar I can use in Ubuntu 10.04? Here is the catch, it MUST be able to sync with my Google calendar. Because I use an android phone that syncs with Google. I would love to totally leave windoze behind me.Maybe I can use Wine to install the entire 2007 MS office suite into Linux?
I'm looking for the outlook2vcal tool but all the links I've found send me to out of date sites or I get an Error 404 message. Does anybody know where I can download this tool or if not any tool that will convert my Outlook calendar into a format that I can import into KOrganizer.
I changed job and my new office uses Outlook. I saved my old emails in Outlook Express .dbx files ... is there a way to import the DBX files into MS Outlook?
Firefox 3.5 still looks like it's 2.5 version on Fedora 12. What ever happened to the round back button theme. It's always there by default on it's Windows equivalent version. We must learn to make open source applications look attractive especially on our platform.
I am probably in the wrong post / tread/ whatever. But maybe someone can put me on the right track.
I try to configure evolution on my opensuse, for using my outlook account. I tryed a lot, and tryed to understand a lot, but all seems to be very diffucult.
What I completely miss on the internet / documentation / everywhere is what to enter where. I can open in my outlook, the account settings. But names there, are not the same names in evolution.
And what to use, mapi, imapi mapi+ whatever. I have no clue about that.
What I found today, is something about proxy. since I was unable to ping a server host with a very strange name. NLCLUEXA11.connect1.local But I also have somewhere a exchange proxy.
Whith a https://www..... url ?? and an NTLM Authentication, no idea about that.
There is also an web interface, webclient, but that also seems to go wrong.
Is there any simple explanation, or just a simple tutorial, which show the outlook settings, and where to put them in the evolution settings ??
how to synchronize Microsoft Outlook with whatever office app of LINUX? What are the office solutions that are offered by linux or what can we compile?I have some CSV files from outlook but it is annoying to daily try to export those.How to synchronize the ubuntu machine, with for instance ethernet
