I tend to use Mutt pretty much all the time. If I need to view and HTML mail then I'll fire up Thunderbird (which my wife uses all the time), and for web access I use Roundcube. I have tried the build in mail client on the Palm (Versamail iirc), but I've not found it usable. For a start it doesn't come close to listing all my mail folders (it manages 16 and I have around 1235!) If it just managed the main ones I wouldn't mind, but I've not managed to work out how it chooses the 16 it does have. It certainly can't cope with subfolders. I used a trial of Agendus which is orders of magnitude better. There was one issue which I can't remember off hand. I need to take another look now I have my Palm back from repair and decide whether to actuall buy (shock horror) a copy. That said my Palm is playing up again already. It is just out of guarantee now and I can't calibrate the stylus, it just gets stuck in a loop and never completes the calibration. That was one of the original problems, along with the failure of the main on/off button. It may have colour, sound and most importantly wifi, but it isn't a patch on my IIIx for reliability, and the new Graffiti is much harder to use than the original and painfully prone to getting it wrong. Sadly they seem to have tried to stoop to the level of the Windows CE devices :( -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 ====================================================================== Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Crawford House, Hambledon Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6NU -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
