Pidgin (formerly known as Gaim) is a Jabber instant messaging client. This means that it is a chat program that is compatible with the AOL instant messenger, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, and IRC. It supports tons of smiley faces, WYSIWYG editing, away messages, buddy icons, a spell-checker, plug-in support, and file transfer capability. The only feature I wish it had is profiles, where different people could use Pidgin on the same computer. |

Mozilla Thunderbird is a mail client that allows you to check your email (pop and imap). It has built-in encryption, junkmail filters, anti-phishing protection, a spell checker, and supports extensions and themes. Thunderbird only replaces the email functionality of Microsoft Outlook, if you need a calendar, I suggest Mozilla Sunbird. |

Evolution is an office productivity pack, including an email client, an address book, a calendar (that supports the open iCal standard), a to-do list, and Palm Pilot support. While it is mostly developed by Novell, it remains open source. Evolution supports Microsoft Exchange servers and Groupwise. They are working to bring more integration with the Gnome desktop. Or if you only need an email client, try Claws Mail. |
