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.)
I use mutt [1]. An useful option for muttrc is
set sort = threads
my muttrc without italian comments is:
# ~/.mutt/muttrc
set folder = "~/.mutt/Mail"
set from = "Gallo Dice <la@faluovo>"
set alias_file = "~/.mutt/aliases"
source "~/.mutt/aliases"
set reverse_alias = yes
set postponed = "+da_spedire"
set record = "+spediti/spediti_`date +%Y%m`"
set copy = yes
set fcc_attach = no
set reply_to = ask-yes
set recall = ask-no
set mime_forward = ask-no
set ispell = "/usr/bin/aspell --mode=email check --lang=it_IT"
set sort = threads
set pager_index_lines = 7
set pager_stop = yes
set pager_context = 2
