I thought about a complete switch to emacs, too. Given the fact that I 
started to use XEmacs just a few weeks ago, it's perhaps too early for 
this big step now. I don't want to spend too much time into configuring 
XEmacs, Gnus, BBDB, diary etc. now, just to discover that it wasn't the 
right decision for me.

Thank you for your description, it's good to know that not only 
experienced linux gurus (who never used Outlook or something similar 
before) use this kind of setup.
