i should be working (but i'm fixing my computer).

OK, I'm legally too old to say, "snaps" to anything. But in any event, I wanted Thunderbird to connect to my office Windows Exchange server.  Which it doesn't.

...

Howsomever, I came across DavMail.  As this is sort of a server-connector type thing, it seems that not only can Thunderbird now connect to Exchange, so can anything else.  (Expect Microsoft to break fix this any day now ...)

In any event, I tried out Evolution for accessing my Exchange account -- which works --  but I'm a lot more familiar with Thunderbird and have always appreciated that it is cross-platform.  Although I have access to the server -- and therefore to Outlook -- via rdesktop connection, a local email program is faster and allows me to print direct instead of the cumbersome process of printing to a local file, then printing out the file.

Snaps! Yay!
