Not sure if this is intended for me or for the OP, but anyway: I have tried multiple MUAs over the years, including Kmail, Claws, Thunderbird, Elm, EXMH, etc. They all suck for one reason or another (no religious wars please). About 10 years ago I started using Evolution. It also sucks in its way but less than most in my usage scenario, and I try to make it better by participating on the Evo list. None of the others are worth the agony of switching. No doubt fans of the other MUAs feel much the same towards Evo. My alternate mail client is called Gmail. I find myself using it more and more, partly because it keeps getting better without any effort on my part and I can always find all my mail as long as I have a net connection, including on my phone. Snide comments about Google taking over the world, sucking up all my personal info, being in league with the devil etc., will be cordially ignored. I know what I'm doing and it's my choice. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
