Pidgin is an instant messaging chat client that can log you in to multiple accounts at the same time, such as Google Talk, AOL instant messenger, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, IRC, and more. 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. |
