I would rather be boiled in oil than use Novell GroupWise.

Well, it's about a billion times faster than the previous incarnations. But it's still slow to launch (JAVA) and I can't resize the main window to see the highlighted message and the message list.

It seems usable for my purposes (once a month check my groupwise mail for the 1 or 2 messages that don't come in to Apple's Mail.app).

For a third beta version, this seems very unpolished and lacking in even basic features. It seems more like an alpha version. For example, I can't delete messages using the "Delete" key. (Only hitting the Trash icon will work.) Posting new appointments results not in their being put on my calendar but rather in their showing up in my mailbox as a message. Proxie access settings (along with a number of other settings) can't be set or changed. Setting up regular appointments with Autodate doesn't work (indeed, the command isn' t even in the menu). Drag and drop functions for attachments don't appear to work. Changes in preference settings often don't "stick," including my .sig file (not that it would matter, because the application won't even attach the .sig file, as far as I have been able to figure out). E-mail containing HTML will all too often freeze the application. The list goes on and on and on....

Clearly this version is nowhere near ready for prime time. A LOT of work clearly remains to be done before it's even close to feature parity (or even usability) with the Windows client. This leaves me stuck with either using web access to read my e-mail or the painfully slow solution of using Virtual PC to run the Windows version.
