Linux and Windows with dual-boot
by Kelby - Aug 20th 2004 08:34:12
I dual boot with Linux and XP since I sometimes need to work in Linux and
sometimes in Windows. I just discovered Columba yesterday and after some
playing around discovered that I could use one copy of Columba on a shared
FAT32 partition and access all of my email(including local mail folders)
from both Linux and XP! This was always the biggest annoyance of dual
booting to me - not having access to my address book and mail folders when
I was working in the other OS. This is one awesome feature! Two thumbs
up!
To do this I simply created a symlink for the .columba folder that
redirects it to my shared partition. For Windows I used a utility called
'MakeLink.exe', which is a free download on the internet, and it allows
you to create a symbolic link in Windows as well.

Nice work

I really like this email client, one of the nicest java gui apps I've tried
yet.
Top stuff, keep up the great work!
cheers

Java just isn't suited for mail clients
by Ryan Grove - Jun 24th 2002 00:34:13
Columba is one of the nicest mail clients I've used, and even the beta
version worked very well for me, but there's an enormous disadvantage --
since it's written in Java, the program consumes upwards of 30 megabytes
of RAM.
No matter how nice the program is, that kind of memory usage is just
inexcusable, especially for something like a mail client, which many
people leave open all the time. Sadly, Java just is not suited for this
sort of application.

Columba Email Client on Linux
by Dave Records - May 20th 2002 16:26:45
It looks nice, but completely non-funcitonal for me. I attempted to set up
multiple pop clients, it doesn't save the name you assign until you go in
again and edit it, it doesn't create new accounts, except for the imap
one. The imap one crashes every time I attempt to use it. I'll look
later, in a year or so!

What jar do you expect in the class path to resolve the
"NoClassDefFoundError: org/w3c/dom/Node"?

When using JRE1.3 and prior be sure to add
ext/xalan.jar:ext/jaxp.jar:ext/parser.jar to the classpath.
JRE1.4 has those included by default.
