It is really a find one you like issue. As long as you aren't one of the nutballs that likes to compile C programs from within your mail reader, then any of the current generation mailers will do. I always hated kmail, but when I was doing the kde 4.3 beta stuff I forced myself to use it for purposes of testing kontact and korganizer with groupware integration -- and against my will, it really grew on me. All opinion aside, there are some excellent technical features built in to kmail that I haven't found anywere else. Thunderbird - used it for years, still maintain a "master copy" of important emails in it, but I hate to admit it -- kmail has it beat in UI efficiency. I've just used evolution a couple of times, so I don't know enough to comment on it. I have it configured in my gnome desktop under my theory of (use the native tools - dummy), but I just can't tell you more right now. Alpine - if you are working from the cli works great, full featured and supports gpg encryption. Until I figured out relay hosts in postfix, I used pine/alpine all the time for email when I was connecting from outside my ISP's network. There are a lot of good packages out there, you just have to find the one that fits your tastes and needs. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
