texstar's evolution -> never had a problem , 100% stable for > 3 months.
i was using a mandrake version, which would not refresh imap folders if
you had that folder open, so i never noticed new emails..

as for viewing source, that then shows me the binary that is in the
winmail.dat file.
this often happens when outlook sends an email with an attachment.
the attachment and some other stuff ends up in the winmail.dat file.

I'm told by a friend that this is used by outlook to add extra info
about the attachment. there must be a way to read file this in linux?
