I know, that's a terrible way to select a program to use. Thunderbird's slowness and what you see as you type isn't necessarily what you'll get when you're done, vetoes it for me. Likewise with it's modification of received mail to re-render it. I don't use KDE, I can't stand it, and I didn't like their email program when I tried it long ago.I use Evolution on KDE and always have done. Can't get my head around Gnome, but that's another topic.Main criteria: * IMAP * Ease of navigating through folders and new mail * Not making reading a message difficult * Not absolutely crap at replying to messages * Not slow as mollasses bogging down the CPU * Not a complete pain to transition mail from an old install to a new system installation (mostly made easier by a local IMAP server and never using the mail client as local storage). * Able to turn off *helpful* features (continual background checking for new mail, mail filtering, unfettered downloading of things included in HTML mail, etc). * No hideously designed interfaces, which includes how you configure it, not just how you use it.One more: good support for MS Exchange, useful to those in corporate environments that require it. Maybe TBird has this as well, I wouldn't know, but it's worth mentioning.
I have to use Exchange/Outlook at work and I hate it. My view has always been that the Exchange/Outlook combination was Microsoft's attempt to replicate Lotus Notes and it has always been a dismal failure.
Also, in my view, the organisation made a huge mistake in moving off Lotus Notes.
