mailwasher / kshowmail replacement


years ago when i used to use windows i used mailwasher to check details of email from my various pop3 email accounts. since moving to linux (using opensuse) i have been using kshowmail. this programme is no longer maintained but I have a rpm for kde4 which works fine with plasma5.

i am giving mint 18 kde a go and am impressed so far. coming from a world of rpm apt seems a bit strange but i am getting there. i can't find a deb for kshowmail that installs correctly.

Can anyone recommend a simiiar programme that i can use instead of kshowmail?

Many thanks

Three things:
"installs correctly" needs verbose clarity.
Usually a sign of Dependency Hell
What kshowmail version is the last one that worked, or which recent version did not?

What architecture?

Thanks for posting.

I found the most recent kshowmail 64 deb which is version 4.1-1 but it would not install as it needs lib files that have been superceded by more recent versions. I tried the 32 bit version which installed but when run (from a terminal window) gave the error:

$ kshowmail
kshowmail: error while loading shared libraries: libkdeui.so.5: wrong ELF cla
ss: ELFCLASS64
