[Discussion] JAVA e-mail clients and OS/2.

[JohnK]

Short:
    Does anyone use the Java e-mail client Columba on a recent release ( 2 n ) of eComStation, and/or does anyone know if the 2.0 release is/will be up to the current release with Java?

Long:
I used the JAVA app PolarBar for a long while, liking that I could use it on eComstation 1.2, that it saved it's posts in clear text, and also have it run on W2K (where it never worked properly but would allow me to sent attachments).  But  eComStation 1.2 is behind the curve with JAVA updates and PolarBar wouldn't send attachments because of this, and, besides that PolarBar's no longer supported.
  Upgrading my OS/2 and Windoze platforms (every 5 years or so, whether they need it or not), I found the Java e-mail client Columba (http://sourceforge.net/projects/columba/).  First platform to complete* was Windoze and Columba seems very nice: stable, all the features I need, makes sense in the way it operates.  I'm waiting for eCs 2.0 GA to start building a new machine and am hoping Columba works there so I can avoid Win most of the time.

Cheers,

 the 'activation' intrusion, but this
 version has it too.)

  Nett: really fast, but Windows is
 still  a crummy piece of work.
 Older apps won't run - like my student
 edition of Matlab, MetaDesign, ...
so I have to keep my old W2K box
working.
