Re: any other accessible email client for linux?

Why do they make it so complicated? Wouldn't it be easier if we are put on an editable screen where we can just move from field to field with the tab key or the arrow keys? and at the end submit or save?

I will play with it and see if I could figure it out. If I could hide the chat and the calendar from thunderbird I would not try any other email applications.


Cheers,

Ibrahim

When in the configuration screen, use the 'w' command to search for the string "show-cursor", or the like, and hit 'space' on that.  Once the cursor is showing, you should be able to hear where you are. It is like checkboxes.  There will be an 'x' in the ones that are selected.


You won't find a field called imap server, but you will find various paths, including one for inbox.  You have to include port numbers and remote pathnames.  An example line might be:


"inboxpath={dahunt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:443}inbox"


With your favorite search engine, look for something like "pine gmail". There are several example files on the net.  These files are human-readable and editable.  Remember, the file in question is called "~/.pinerc".  If you want to edit this file with a gui program like pluma, that will work.  In order to have your file manager show you the files with names beginning with '.', use 'ctrl+h', in a file manager window.
