I too prefer Sylpheed - especially on my Pentium II laptop . 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,

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!

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 ). The best e-mail client for me. On Linux I use KMail.

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.
