Email/Calendar softwares testing

Thunderbird with Lightening add-on (winner):

Email - Thunderbird is quite similar to Outlook interface; can set it to fetch only the email headers before deciding to download the desired emails.
Problem: though can use right-click to save email to .eml format, by double-clicking .eml, it does not show pictures.

Calendar - Lightening add-on, also quite similar to Outlook calendar, having pop-up reminder window;
Problem: cannot drag a file or an email and put it into a schedule. This feature would be quite useful to provide some background for a schedule.

 

Opera:

Email - POP3 works fine, can choose to download only the first short portion of email, then I can decide if I need to download the full email. Problem: does not show images (might because of setup issues).

Calendar - NA, except several not fully functional Widgets.

 

Evolution: Does not work well on my WinXP;

Email - Works, though complaining xxx-exchange.exe halted (?);

Calendar - does not work; when I wanted to add a schedule, it terminates.

 

Zimbra: cannot start on WinXP; works fine on Linux.
