I miss having an integrated application such as Outlook, however I also 
recognize that other people feel differently. I think the best solution may 
be somthing like Koffice, which gives you the option of running everything at 
once(ala StarOffice), or individually. It't the best of both worlds and would 
IMHO satisfy the majority of users. Of course there are a couple of issues: 
1. speed - Koffice running in KOshell is not all that snappy(K6-380, 192mb)
2. Implementation - I haven't looked at much of the kde-pim code outside of 
Korganizer, but I would guess this is not a trivial change. But then again, 
if there's enough alcohol...


Just my cent and a half
