What E-mail client do you use?
 

recently got sendmail with smtp working and looking for a good client

i know this list is probably nowhere near complete
i got them off of tucows and it seemed outdated

I'm personally fond of Thunderbird

KMail just because I just got this system up and running and its there.

I do like Thunderbird, it's very good with multiple user accounts, so my wife's e-mail account can be checked at the same time as mine - never tried KMail, if I start not to like Tbird I may try it out :)

I like Evolution (Ximian) mostly because of the easy user-friendly interface.
I'm not too fond of KMail.
I see alot of you like Thunderbird - I'll have to check it out.

i have heard some good things about evolution
but it might be overkill for what i need
and it looks fairly difficult to install

decided to give thunderbird a try
installation was the extraction of the tarball
nice feel to it so far

I went first with kmail.

Then I found Mozilla and found that it was more featureful. It was the only mail client that could use my stunnel + sendmail based smtps mailserver for sending mail. So I stayed with Mozilla for a while. Then I got disapponted as a newer version of Mozilla no longer seemed to support my smtps solution.

If I cannot find a mail client that does everything I want, then I go with the lightest one. So I changed to Opera. That is what I am using now.

I use a combo of Evolution, Thunderbird, Pine, and Mutt.

hmm...i just put my local hostname.domainname [fqdn] in where thunderbird wanted an smtp server and it is using my local sendmail smtp server. i suppose i also could have used localhost

the only thing i would like to change so far would be the ability to move/remove my ~/mail folder...but i guess it is necessary for sendmail (because i tried to delete it and none of my e-mail clients liked it...except for pine. pine just re-created whatever it needed)

finally got all the mail for pine and thunderbird in one hidden folder

I use the opera one which is cool...
Just happens to be build into the best browser ever, so i stick with it.

never tried opera


is it worth paying for a browser?

You can get the free one if you can deal with the big ads at the top.

I would pay if I could, but I cannot afford.
But there is no need to pay for opera: it is free if you let it show some banner ads.
Well, yours is a local smtp server, mine is a remote smtps server; those are totally different cases.
In my case, mozilla should do a client/server certificate authentication with stunnel on the remote server. If it was successful, stunnel could connect Mozilla to localhost on the remote server, and then Mozilla could send any mails anywhere, as sendmail is so configured there that all mails from localhost are relayed, even if the domain names do not match.
Mozilla 1.5 did the above trick correctly. When I installed a new version of Mozilla, I could no longer set it up to use that smtps server successfully.
Sendmail, and, I guess, many mail clients can be re-configured to use mailboxes in a directory other than ~/mail. My sendmail e.g. puts all users' incoming mails in /var/mail. All (remote) clients connect to those boxes via a pop3 server.
