Howdy, I didn't want to clutter the other thread any further. So, Seamonkey is about to be removed. I don't have the skills to update the ebuild to manage it locally, plus, even if I did, it is likely just pushing the problem further down the road. After all, the web browser part is almost useless as it is now. The Gentoo website works but it's about the only website that does. Most other websites give a blank white screen or some sort of error. I've discussed this in the past but now the time is here. Here is some info that may help you to help me.
I'm a HTML guy. I figure >95% of my email is HTML. The Gentoo list emails, and maybe a couple other random ones, are text only but that's about it. So, I'm not looking for a text only or command line solution. I've tried some mail clients in the past. I used Kmail for a while way back around 2003 or so. Then I switched to Seamonkey. In all honesty, I like the email part of Seamonkey just fine. Other than having to copy links to Firefox since the browser part doesn't work, it does it's job. I have a encrypted/signed email setup as well. Seamonkey uses Enigmail. I'd like to be able to move that over but suspect it is as simple as importing or something. Also, I have the very first email I ever sent or received. I'd like to be able to transfer all my emails to whatever I switch too. Either by importing them or copying the directory for current emails to the new location. Also, I have a LOT of folders and such to organize my emails. I have a folder for example for Gentoo user mailing list emails. I have similar for my bank, forums, websites I order from etc etc etc. I'd need that ability as well but I suspect most email clients have that ability. Once switched, my main web browser will be Firefox, as it is now really. I do use multiple profiles. It would be nice if when I click on a link in the email software, it opens in a Firefox profile. Maybe has a way I can set it to do so in a selected profile. This has been a sticking point in the past. I find it hard to believe that with Firefox having multiple profile options available that there isn't a way to handle this. Multiple profile support has been available in Firefox for many years now. Some people on this mailing list see more email software than I do. It's mostly me, myself and I here. All three of us use Seamonkey right now. LOL I haven't seen Kmail or Thunderbird in a while. I did try Thunderbird a couple years ago and I couldn't get it to work right. No idea on Kmail. So, my question is this. What is going to be the closest email client I can switch to that is like, or close to, how Seamonkey works? Is Thunderbird my best option? Should I try Kmail again? Is there some new email client that I'm not aware of that is even better than those? Also, I'd like something that is going to be around long term. I'd like to avoid software that will be in the same spot Seamonkey is in right now anytime soon. As people share their thoughts, I may remember more details on things I use that isn't coming to me at the moment. HTML, moving current emails to new software, Enigmail and open links in Firefox is either required or a really nice bonus. Thoughts? Questions? Dale :-) :-)
