But I so wish it didn't insist on doing them all at the same time. Hateful. I want an email program that does email. And a contacts program that does contacts. I want them to talk to each other but I don't want them to be each other. Fortunately evolution is not just a front end, but has a separate back end too. People seem to be noticing this finally and starting to take advantage of it. Here's a contacts program that just does contacts: http://chrislord.net/blog/Software/Contacts/ (1) It uses evolution's own address book and hence would presumably (ha!) work with glabels. There's also an email program out there that uses the evolution backend but just does email. Revolutionary! Cheers, Martin. (1) Designed for handhelds but it's gtk so I'm guessing it works ok on a desktop (ha!).There's stuff above here
