+1 for mutt
|
|
i tried claws-mail and sylpheed, i could get my mail no problem, but i couldnt get the changes i made (deleted messages, archived messages) to reflect on the gmail server. so when i checked my email on my phone, the messages were all messed up, and i was rereading mail, which got irritating. my solution was to stop checking email on my computer, now i do it exclusively from my phone. thunderbird and claws/sylpheed were the only ones ive tried, if anyone has a different suggestion (which is also lightweight) i would be interested in this as well.

I use fetchmail to collect gmail. I then read it in mutt. Not had one problem.
|
Installed, configured and tested claws email :)
Thanks all. |
mutt is by far the best thing you can use to handle your mail. Powerful and configurable, although it take some time to configure it and get use to it.

I use claws-mail and Seamonkey mail.

Claws mail user here too.
Handles 2 of my Gmail accounts, some other POP3 accounts, Gmane, RSS Feeds, and text based NNTP groups I follow. I do not use Claws with Gmail's IMAP though. Claws is seriously slow (IMO ;)) with Gmail's IMAP implementation. Gmail does some funky stuff with IMAP. Gmail and POP3 works fabulous. There's a few postings on the Claws mailing list about Claws mail and Gmail's IMAP. http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mai....general/46795 |
george, let us/me know what you think of claws after you use it for a while. How does it handle html mail, etc. I'm really curious
I use mutt, fetchmail, procmail, lbdb, and abook. |

It definitely works as advertised and I see myself using it as my default email client on this machine ;) |
Thanks george.
I was just curious how you liked it so far :) I've used all that have been mentioned plus more than I can remember in the past 25 yrs. m |
