Widespread dissatisfaction with current e-mail systems, particularly Microsoft Exchange and Outlook is spurring platform and e-mail server changes, according to Julie Hanna Farris, an electronic messaging innovator and founder of Scalix Inc., a messaging system vendor. In this setting, e-mail on Linux is shaping up to become the killer app in the enterprise application stack, said Farris in this interview about current and future e-mail trends. Also, e-mail client software (think Outlook) may be on the way out, pushed aside by Web-based e-mail systems, or Webmail. Farris has honed her e-mail trend intelligence gathering and prediction skills over 17 years in messaging.

She was a marketing executive at IBM/Lotus and began her career at BellSouth.
