Poco Systems Inc. wants to change your outlook on e-mail clients. I've been wishing for (Novell) Ximian Evolution to be ported to Windows because it's a great e-mail client on Linux and supports groupware connectivity to Exchange (amongst others), but that doesn't seem to be in the cards.Barca is pretty good as a replacement, though the import capabilities are minimal (vCal, iCal, CSV, Netscape, Outlook Express) and it only uses POP/IMAP/SMTP. Even with the groupware connectivity of Outlook it won't be a perfect replacement, but from the bit of playing I did do if you don't need synchronization to a PDA then Barca might be an option for you. It isn't vulnerable to the virii and worms that periodically hit Outlook, so that's a definite plus and it's priced at a mere $59.95, which isn't too shabby.
