Mail Client of the Year
 

What do you use to get your LQ notifications?

Thunderbird isn't on the list! I can't vote for any of the others as I don't use them.

Edit - thanks for putting it on the list.

Opera! ( and sometimes kmail and evolution)

Yea, Opera M2 (mainly cause I haven't tried anything else :)).

Evolution. Great full-featured Linux mail client. Their website shows some exciting things to come too :)

Shame shame shame.....

Pine Is Not Elm!

And it rox!

Tried Thunderbird but couldn't get it linked to Firebird so it was a pain trying to get from a link in an email, open Firebird and then paste the link...

Mozilla is good, old fashioned brilliance :) Easy to use and not too slow.

kmail is my equivalent for Eudora on windows. It is as easy to use and as easy to backup.

Well, Sylpheed-claws is the best if you want a fast one... a really fast one :)

thunderbird would get my vote as the best, except as AMmullen said it won't link to firebird, and it also won't open links from within the client, either. so until those two things are fixed, my vote goes to evolution.

>make that AMMullan :o

This is fixed in current testing builds http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o...ux-gnu.tar.bz2 and will be fixed in the next landmark build (0.4). I build Thunderbird from CVS and came back to this thread by clicking a link in an Email.

Kmail would be my choice

Kmail for me, the new Kontact is working fine as well.

Please consider adding gnus

Sylpheed far and away is the GUI mail client of the year. Fast, config'able, and dern stable for Beta :)

Where's Gnus?
 

Ah, yiz forgot Emacs as an option.

I use Gnus, some people use VM, others use rmail, all are part of GNU Emacs.
(could an emacs option be added? thanks)

mew for gnuemacs is certainly the winner

evolution
 

It has to be, with a calender and sync with my palm-pilot. Everything you need annd more.

I'm glad you added Thunderbird. It's fast....

Mutt, running it from everywhere (Console, X). From outside my home I use squirel

Sylpheed-claws

fast Fast FAST

didn't like kmail, i use m2 when surfing the net and to get notifications on email. used to using pine for uni through ssh which is always good, but my vote goes for evolution cause its just the main one i use when i got gkrellm notifying me of new mail.

Sylpheed-claws is an effin speed demon. for anyone who switched from win to lin and misses the speed on outlook express then get sylpheed, its FASTER.

Command line - mutt

In X, evolution

Evolution is nice since it's integrates so much stuff, but its mail features are pretty limited compared to dedicated email apps.

opera

the only thing i use

I really love Sylpheed, it's way faster than the other client, and doesn't contain al the fancy (non needed) functions like evolution does. Hmm... Definately worh my vote!

evolution / unstable and has a very own ghost but if its running it rocks

29 votes for pine?? You kids and your GUIs, what's this world coming to =)

KMail - Eudora-like, easy filter setup for use with SpamAssasin, auto GPG handling

Sylpheed is good, I use it on my sister's PC.

I will keep using mozilla or thunderbird in this PC because it use the Netscape 4.X format which would keep compatibility.

I tried Kmail, Mozilla mail, Opera's mail/news built into their browser, and Sylpheed. Evolution outperforms all of them in terms of features and ease of use. I also enjoy seeing my weather on the log in screen. :)

I remember PINE from around the time the internet opened to the public, and it was my very favorite news/mail reader back then, and even text editor! :) I also used Lynx back then as well. My how times have changed! PINE is still great too. But I use KDE and enjoy the GUI stuff these days.

Right on! Except my vote went with mutt :)

For me, evolution would be the best ...
if I could spare 300++ MB harddisk space just to install GNOME LIBS !!

So yeah ... I better stick with pine on the server,
remotelly accessed from anywhere using ssh (Linux) or PuTTY (Windows).

The only "VIRUS proof" method to read e-mail from Windows :)

Dude, evo rocks -- J.W.

there's nothin better than mutt (gpg/pgp support is just awesome)

Emacs / Gnus is still missing on the list. Certainly the most powerful news / mail client around...

My vote to Evolution... which seems to be winning as it is..

Evolution is ok but i think thunderbird is awesome and has a lot of potential.

If thunderbird the mail client is anything like the ford thunderbird.. yukk

Pine, all the way!

To heck with all these GUI'ed mail clients. :-)

I can't stand Text based email clients...

opera, but still needs some refinements

If you are paying for it.. you should not be paying for something that nees fefinements..
