Matthew's Journal

I'm still at work, and it's nearly half-past nine. Why? I've been battling for a few days now with trying to install linux on my Mac Pro at work. I finally succeeded in doing this earlier this afternoon, and have since been trying to configure it to my satisfaction. More details about that later (or, more likely, tomorrow, given I've not eaten yet).

There are a few outstanding issues, which I'd be grateful for pointers on:

i) evolution - is it possible to get it to show a combined INBOX view from my two accounts? having to click back and forth between them is somewhat irksome. Also, it doesn't seem to scroll down to show new messages by default.

ia) is there a better email client? I suspect not, as they're all crap IME. It needs to do IMAP+SSL well, really.

ii) X - I have an Apple Cinema display, which X drives just fine. It's not, however, detecting the VGA monitor which is attached (the console just mirrors the two monitors, but obviously that doesn't work in X). How can I go about sorting that?

[more to follow later, I'm sure]
