This thread seems to have evolved into a giant "mine is better than
yours" contest.
I am all for diversity, which also means that I am a stron believer in
"to each his own".
What e-mail clients have I used?
Thunderbird in Windows and Debian,
works ok. A few quirks, but nothing i couldn't handle.
Outlook (who hasn't had that at the office).
Balsa, no major problems, apart from it wanting to be everything,
including my new kitchen sink.
Mutt, a nice, lightweight e-mail client. However, initial
configuration was a b¤%&/, and i got bored with it after a few years.
Pine, it came, it lost, it went away.
And a few others. Currently I am using sylpheed-claws, and i like it,
at least this far.
Does that mean i should resort to marginalizing other peoples needs or
wants because they don't have the same requirements as i do??
As for using procmail for filtering, exim4 for SMTP, fetchmail/getmail
for POP-retrieval..... as i said before, to each his own, but I like
having it all in one place, for now. Tomorrow I might change my mind
and go back to the "one tool, one job"-philosophy.
So what is the point this then? To each his own, we all have different
wants, needs and desires to delve into the darker holes of
mail-handling.
