Hi all.
Sorry for the very much off-topic post but I have asked a couple of
other places and from those tried some recommendations and decided I
don't like them. On the whole you guys and gals seem to have similar
sensibilities to me so hopefully can suggest a email client that I
will agree with. Needs to run nicely in Threaded mode (including own,
sent emails in the thread for normal, non-list conversations.)
Evolution, Thunderbird and Alpine are the ones I've tried. Instantly
didn't like Evolution, tried Thunderbird for about the last week (and
currently typing this in it) with the Conversations plugin and it
almost works but there is a lot which is clunky and not quite right.
Alpine I barely got set up, only managed to get it to sync my Inbox
folder, none of the others, and it all of a sudden stopped even being
willing to do that.
Considered trying kmail but it's a huge download for just an email
client (I assume it takes most of the Kontact library/suite just not
the other actual programs) and am currently on too poor a connection
to feel it was worth trying on the off-chance (IE it wasn't actually
recommended by anybody.)
Thanks and sorry for the noise. Dale :)
I'm currently using claws mail, and while it is good there are still a
couple of things I dislike.
One thing you can try if you're not afraid to get your hands dirty is
'notmuch' (
http://notmuchmail.org/) in combination with one of its UIs.
There are a few, the emacs and mutt UIs are most likely the most mature
ones, but there are a couple of others.
Regards,
