In various times I tried to escape this affliction by trying out: T'bird Opera's built in Mail client Claws Evolution GNUmail mutt I must have tried others too, but forgot over the years. I'm still lamenting the demise of KDE3 and all that came with it, including Kmail as it was then. I'm still using mutt occasionally, especially when I find myself on a console, although like most email apps (except for Kmail) I find mutt awkward and at times getting in the way of managing my email. I don't blame mutt for this, but my addiction to the Kmail interface. Almost everyone who seeks my advice these I direct to Thunderbird, unless I feel vindictive, in which case I tell them to try out Kmail. :p Enterprise users who have been programmed to work with MSWindows, I direct to Evolution. Those who like tinkering and use keybindings for everything, I direct to mutt. One of these days I may try again T'bird because it must have improved since the late 2000's (can it work with maildir now?) I find Alan's solution of dovecot appealing, perhaps another project for me to look into during the Xmas break. -- Regards, Mick
