Another vote for Kmail here. Great integration, and its got some neat tricks up its sleeve. I sent a mail yesterday which happened to have the word 'attached' in it, and before sending it, kmail asked me if I forgot to add an attachment since I seemed to have mentioned it in the content. Very thoughtful of it

I would like to propose an 'old as hills' tool for reading mail that I'm the last 'real man' to use, but I just slipped my finger over the mouse few times and voted for kmail

I guess it's fair to leave my vote as is.
All in all it's for 2k7's Mail client and not for best ever mail client.
I rest my case.

After using Evolution, Thunderbird and KMail (briefly), I am now hooked on claws-mail. It is a wonderful, light, fast email client with lots of features.

Migrated from KMail to Thunderbird. Thunderbird is good, especially with Add-Ons installed. Miss the integration with Kontact though a bit, and I hope the developers of Thunderbird and Sunbird will work on a suite as well...

Thunderbird for POP and IMAP, using the Enigmail and GnuPG for security. Nice combination!

for me am receiving thousand emails from routers/servers notifications, am using different browser, including outlook express (hehehe) yeah this really sucks. am using thunderbird for my business emails, kmail for servers/routers notifications and evolution for mailing-lists, all of them have pros and cons. it depends on what really really prefer. i want evolution for its mailing-list features on the filters, kmail for fast downloading since notifications are being sent every minute or two, and thunderbird for better archiving of emails. that's only my experienced. i can't tell other's experienced, maybe they can share theirs so we can have a justification too on this item

I just had to vote for Thunderbird. For me, it's fast, and it does everything I expect from an e-mail client. But I will be honest, the only other client I've tried was Evolution. The problems I had may be system-specific, but it was painfully slow, and horrible for dropping attachments (recipients received a blank page) and strange reformatting of text in the main message during 'send'. I wasn't really nuts over the address book 'cards', either. Just my

Cheers

gmail

I used to use t-bird, but my son got me hooked on gmail. I love the off site storage and access from any computer. Too bad webmail options are not included in the vote.

This was actually a difficult choice. I use Evolution for most of my mail needs but I couldn't do anything if I didn't have pine/alpine.

I voted for Thunderbird (Icedove, in my Zenwalk). It's really good and complete, and support gmail too.
