mailx

Do you use mailx for managing your personal mail as well or just for browsing local e-mails sent by daemons such as crond etc?

I use and vote for mutt.

I write mail with emacs, send it with sendmail, pick it up with fetchmail, read picked-up mail with mailx. I archive mail (incoming and outgoing) in mbox-compatible files that I read with mailx.

OK, I see. I see you like Unix way :). I also use Emacs together with mutt-mode for writing e-mails, send them with msmtp and download them with either getmail or offlineimap. I use Mutt as a front-end for all of these activities and for reading e-mails. I also use notmuch for searching text in e-mails, procmail for filtering e-mails and GNU screen backtick feature for displaying new mail notification in the terminal. I store all e-mails in Maildir in ~/.muttmail.

I wasn't slanging anybody, just mentioning that some of us dinosaurs still use mail(x), what we had 30 years ago, but it isn't in the list.

I get mostly html email so am limited in what I can use (that displays html email correctly instead of as code), so use thunderbird.

Alpine

I've been poking at setting up Alpine on my Debian system, but it doesn't like me. I can receive, but I can't send. It's about third on my list of problems to solve.

As regards HTML email, I still hold that it is evil and a kludge. In Sylpheed, I can click on the links, but I don't have to look at the pictures. That's fine with me.

Still using Gnus - too lazy to finally get NeoMutt set up. :(

Re: the above discussion: HTML e-mail is atrocious and a mail client that supports it is broken in my opinion.

Happy with Thunderbird. Always have been, always will be.....and use it with FireTray.


Mike. ;)

They're on the list.

What I say about mail(x).


I agree. When I want to use a link in a message I mark it and transfer it into lynx.

Thunderbird is already a great piece of software from my point of view, I'm really satisfied... and, even more, Mozilla has great plans for it: https://blog.mozilla.org/thunderbird...rbird-in-2019/

seamonkey.

Alpine - i began with Elm many years ago, then moved to Pine for IMAP, thereafter Alpine, and now it's all about Realpine which is very convenient, in keeping 4 email addresses under one roof, in keeping all mail files in my homedir, in one single TMUX terminal using one single software :)

ok, at times i need the help of DavMail for an outlooky spooky address...
