I appreciate this thread - for me Steve's lumail was new info worth a closer look! I currently use "afew" - a notmuch frontend ising Urwid to draw. On my laptops I use interimap - a more efficient alternative to offlineimap (only available in unstable and testing currently). As MTA I use msmtp on laptops, and postfix, dovecot-imap, dovecot-sieve and spamassassin on reliably connected hosts. Enjoy the many options :-) - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
