Hi all, A few hours ago Russell Brunelle submitted a URL to his excellent blog entry on making a spectacular free software writing appliance. In it he recommended Evolution as an email client.
If you want a we-do-it-all-for-you PIM type email client, then certainly Evolution is the way to go. But standard on-computer email clients also have their adherents, as do webmail clients that often reside on the server. At this point I must inject this: Do NOT use Kmail under any circumstances! As one of the "I want my email client on my own darn computer" people, I recently was forced to bail on Kmail and move to a combination of Dovecot and Claws-Mail, which has been doing a spectacular job for the past three weeks. The following is a document telling how I made this transition, and how anybody else can too: http://www.troubleshooters.com/lpm/201202/201202.htm This is especially relevant because Kmail is forcing its users to transition to Kmail2, which is entangled with Akonadi. As one former Kmail guy told me on another list, "To be honest, I haven't found a single person who was able to convert to kmail2." SteveT
