GNOME desktops typically offer Ximian Evolution, whereas KDE desktops go with KMail. Both GNOME and KDE desktops often come with Mozilla as the Web browser and Mozilla includes a mail client as well. Debian includes KMail and Ximian Evolution. Fedora Core offers Ximian Evolution as its default mail client. SUSE uses KMail as the default mail reader, and Xandros provides Mozilla Mail. In Debian, you can easily install the mail and news component of Mozilla and then use Mozilla Mail.

You are prompted for the password when Evolution connects to the mail server for the first time. 3. Provide further information about receiving e-mail — how often to check for mail and whether to leave messages on the server — and then click Forward. Typically, you want to download the messages and delete them from the server (otherwise the ISP complains when your mail piles up). 4.
