Mail Client of the Year
 

How do you read the LQ Community Bulletin?

This poll is closed?

I use the Thunderbird, because of the included Junk mail filter.

yes Thunderbird all the way if we are voting

Thunderbird. It does what it needs to do without bloat. If I want bloat I can grab extensions.

Kmail, you're custom filters can use pipes! GPG as standard. Easy Support for multiple STMP servers. And intergrates nicely into KDE's PIM

All of the poll's are closed to me, so no voting this year?

[edit]
Nevermind, they are now open to me

The polls weren't open when you posted this. They are now.

Thunderbird. Enough said.

Thunderbird

Copy the above post.

I prefer Kmail because it is part of Kontact. I like having one program for email, RSS, Calendar, etc

I wonder if Kmail can bring Thunderbird down this year. :)

kmail was god until it started locking up and forgetting to download new mail. Then Thunderbird came along which was cool especially when it morped in to icedove but I still find myself sliding backto Opera's M2 which like everything Opera is just so 'worky'.

Hey! Where's Claws Mail (MUA formerly known as Sylpheed Claws)????

Kmail, I love it!

Mutt for me to read system mail...I really dont use a client much but if I did, I would go with Thunderbird.

I voted for sylpheed however, I really use claws-mail. It's a fork of sylpheed and I really really like it. It's blazing fast with gpg security with html too on a pentium 133 mhz...yes that's my cpu :D

I still vote for evolution though I am getting bored with its spam filter but the integrated calendars manager is great

Missing Option
 

Aww... missing Emacs/GNUS. That's my fave.

KMail. It has several very useful features and commands, not available (at least as far as I know) in another Mail Clients.

In KMail, you can choose between mbox and maildir formats for each individual folder. Depending of size and usage of message base, it is very convenient, specially with really large message bases. Also increases interoperability between different mail-related systems.

In KMail, you can copy message from one folder to another, not only move as usual. Now imagine e.g. folder WWW-Orders immediately getting copies of your Orders and Invoices while they still remain also in your inbox pending possible letter exchange with merchant etc. Disk space is cheap nowadays :)

In KMail, you have "Remove Duplicate Messages" comand. This is simple but excellent option absent in other Mail Clients, AFAIK. Everybody collecting mail from more than one source will understand me well :)

There are also other nice things in KMail. Sure it has also all usual Mail Client functions as all of them do. Bayes spam filtering works excellent with KMail etc.

KMail
 

I use KMail now, because it is so nice to use when integrated into Kontact. Everything PIM in one place.

mutt / fetchmail combo for me. Got bored with tunderbird so started to expierment.

Definitely Thunderbird.

Kmail has my vote. its simple, elegant and has never crashed on me hehe!

Damm the suspense is killing me! Kmail or thunderbird...

Mail choice.
 

Hi,
What about Gmail?
This is for me the the best, it has great capacity to store all of your mails and a wonderful site to store what I call Nudgers (a poor memory aid for non secure passwords)I just send myself an E-mail!
Happy New Year folks.

I guess it's not going to win but it's still Evolution for me although I would like the 'front page' bit back. I like to have the notes and calendar e.t.c.

Thunderbird has my vote.

Thunderbird has to be the one. In 2005, for about 3 months, I was sharing it between WinXP and Linux with the profile on a fat32 partition. Worked like a dream. Now that I am full converted, I have looked at Kmail, but since I don't use KOffice it doesn't work for me. On my Gnome desktop I have just started trying out Evolution to see how it works, and have been testing SquirrelMail since that came with my new webserver.

I too prefer Sylpheed - especially on my Pentium II laptop :D. I have Sylpheed-Claws on my Pentium III.

Sylpheed is very light-weight, fast, no-nonsense, yet does everything I need from a mail proggramme, including multiple accounts and SSL connections.

Cheers,
Petra

I'm using thunderbird. I love it.

It was a tough choice between evolution and thunderbird. Normally I would have voted thunderbird in a heartbeat, but I have the unfortunate circumstance of having to use MS Exchange at the moment, so it's Evolution for me.

Why no pine?

Pine the best! Mutt just dumps you and makes you fend for yourself when it comes to composition!

pine is option number 5.

Kmail for me.

I think Thunderbird is better with their junk mail and encryption/signing (using an extension) than Kmail. It's a pain in the rear to get these things working correctly in Kmail, but I use Kmail anyway because of its integration with KDE.

TBird for me as it allows me to share profiles and mail between 4 nix installs and my windoz install.

The Bat! (on Windows ofcourse :D). The best e-mail client for me. On Linux I use KMail.

SeaMonkey for uni mail, GMail for reading LQ Community Bulletin :D

Kmail for me! Gotta have that integrationn

Thunderbird, because Evolution sucks with spam.

If I could chose, I would chose None of these. None of the GUI based mail apps seem to get any basic thing right :(

hmm, dont use any of those.

I can't be the only one who prefers browser-based email systems, such as openxchange or hula, or even yahoo mail or hotmail for that matter.

I'm on the go too much to base my email from just one machine. I need mobility.

Maybe adding an option for browser-based client might give this poll a more accurate picture.

I do tend to test with evolution when setting up servers.

Polarbar Mailer still the trick
 

KMail of course! Since I use KDE it da best for me. Its getting better and better with every release.

I use Thunderbird and Mutt...

Sylpheed-claws

KMail ... great integration with KDE, great importing capabilities and can use both maildir and mbox formats ... which makes imports and exports very easy.

thunderbird

How about Firefox/Opera? I use Gmail..and that's pretty much the only way I'd ever consider checking it...
