I concur. But since it's not listed then I have to go with thunderbird. It's the only client I ever, albeit rarely, use outside of the gmail web app.

Alpine for the console and Sylpheed for a gui.

Another vote for Gmail!

Surely GMail is a service, not a client?

Am I the last guy using good old mailx?
I've been using it since '84. If I have to, I'll s a message and open it with Seamonkey or metamail or munpack. But more often, I want to v ($EDITOR=vim) it to see the headers or save one paragraph or something. Wish it used readline the way bash does, but not enough to hack it myself.

Kmail. Otherwise I would have a different Outlook for my mail.

Interesting to see others using Alpine on CLI and Claws on GUI!

Although I increasingly find myself using Alpine on CLI and then just using Modest (bad quoting though!) and the iPod Touch mail clients and not bothering with a computer except for long e-mails.

Thunderbird 3.0 has come a LONG way and is greatly improved so it got my vote.

Overall, I think KMail is the best e-mail client, but its developers refuse to bring it into the 'modern age' and provide proper support for HTML mail.

I prefer plain text, but since 90%, if not more, of the e-mail I receive each day is HTML, I switched to Thunderbird.

If KMail ever gets dragged into the 21st Century I go back to it in a flash.

Thunderbird!

rocker_geek · 01-21-2010, 03:48 PM

I use thunderbird.

sirscott · 01-22-2010, 12:32 AM

I use Evolution have for many a year. Most bussiness get lost with out a calendering function Ive used Kmail its ok They both mesh with with Outlook users. But Evolution is tops for those needing a outlook or business style mail program

Im not sure that Kmail and Evolution should be in the same boat as Tbird and others. Tbird rules if you just need a pop client And no lighting is not there yet.
When it is ready.Those Outlook users really will have a solid alternative to use on any OS

I am curious why you prefer Alpine over Mutt?

Can't vote on this one. Other than having to use the dog slow and pathetic LookOut 2007 at work, I'm 100% webmail these days.
