Mail Client of the Year

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

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..

THEHERO · 01-03-2004, 01:31 AM

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

sxa · 01-04-2004, 02:18 AM

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

agiacalone · 01-06-2004, 04:55 PM

Pine, all the way!

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

sxa · 01-06-2004, 05:20 PM

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

Noerr · 01-08-2004, 08:51 AM
