If you like to fiddle a little bit, I would strongly recommend Mew as an IMAP-mailreader, especially if you already are comfortable with emacs. http://www.mew.org/en/ -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
