I guess I will test it this weekend or within the next month. But I also will test KMail on different installs. I'm undecided what DE I will use in the future and also what MUA. For me it's important that I can use the same DE and MUA when switching a distro. I'm not fixed to a distribution, DE or MUA, I simply use what will fit best to my needs. I just don't want to switch too much at the same time, assumed there should be the need to do that. Switching the distro and MUA very seldom happened in the last ten years, but unfortunately I had to switch the DE too often for my taste. IMO you simply should install several mail clients and keep the mails on the server after downloading them, so you could test several MUAs without loosing Emails, or without having to worry that you unintended download some mails duplicated. If such an issue happens you simply can delete the MUAs mail folder. Once you know what MUA is the best one for you, you only should use that one and then it's no risk to delete the mails after receiving. MUAs could behave different depending to the usage of IMAP or POP, you perhaps should test this too. Don't believe a claim that something should be the best MUA, that are just our opinions for the way we use MUAs. You should read about advantages and drawbacks of mail directory formats, IMAP, POP and then verify it on your own ;). 2 Cents, Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
