For 20+ years prior to the mid 90s almost all email users used separate
standalone apps for email, ab, and calendaring.
We when apps that combined those functions came out users rapidly migrated
to them example include those above and program line Pine.
There are some of us (Luddites) who are not fond of this convergence.
In particular, I find calendar apps particularly annoying, and iCal is
in my view the worst App from Apple in many years.
I strongly prefer POP so I can keep my emails local (being able to check
emails when on airplanes, etc, and not being subject to server outages
or the massively horrible Outlook Mail Synch times, has been a real
advantage.) I get tons of those invitation.ics files on my job, and 99%
of them I do not want in my calendar.
Given the choice between 3 independent apps, where I can chose the app
that fits me best (or choose to not play) or the one-size-fits-all
approach, I strongly favor the former.
