Hi there,
I currently use Thunderbird and have used Evolution in the past. I have
a wish list that I wanted to share with the aim of perhaps finding an
alternative.
My criticisms with TB:
- Changing the UI
They added a archive button to some threads and this is on the right of
the preview pane tool bar. If this does not show then the delete button
is in that location (as the toolbar aligns to the right). So if you are
mas deleting email by scanning the pane then the delete button moves
each time the archive one is shown. This means that you can to move the
mouse (look / read / think) - rather than just deleting email.
- Searching for everything
It shouldn't be that difficult to have some indexes for sender, sender
domain and message prefixes. I would prefer to have a feature to have
tabs / quick lists rather than search / sort my entire mailbox each time
I wanted a type of message
- Tags
Highlighting the row in colour is great.....but that only happens when
you have focus on the message - otherwise the text only is a different
colour. This means if you have a moderate use of tags then you end up
with unicorn vomit rainbow text and have to drill down on each message
to see the colour of it - which defeats the point of MAKE SURE YOU DO
THIS THING IN BOLD RED tags.
- Plugins
I am sure there is a (valid) comeback that there "is a plugin for that
already" or "write your own" [you flatter me :-] but I would like to
think that the core of an email client should cover off:
- Email
- Inbox filters/views/colour tags
- Consistent UI
- Tasks & Diary
...as core and not as plugins.
I get a lot of email across several accounts and perhaps I am being
picky. I am interested in hearing if others have similar / opposing
feedback and recommendations of configurations / plugins or applications
that addresses these issues.
Cheers
Piers
