What do you use to read/write eMails under Arch?

mucknert · 2006-08-28 19:05:46

Since polls seem to be the new kid around here I am asking a question I am interested it: what are you using to write Mails under Arch and why?

Something *totally* different
Web Based Mail

prolly many use gmail...

I use Kontact (because I use KDE and wanted something that integrated and did my PIM as well). All my email does through fetchmail, then procmail to maildir, and I use courier-imap to access it. This gives me the option of using Squirral Mail to read my emails when I'm away from the desktop as well, which is pretty sweet. I also use googlemail if my desktop is off, and the web interface my uni provide.

All in all, I have options

I use Evolution at the moment - but it's recieving mail from GMail, so when I'm not at home I use the gmail web interface.

"All mail clients suck. This one just sucks less. - MichaelElkins, circa 1995"

It's still true, it's hard to compare anything to the sheer power and flexibility of mutt.

T-Bird/Gmail

arooaroo · 2006-08-28 22:07:02

I use four email clients on a fairly regular basis. Outlook at work. Pine at uni (I still have an account at my department). Thunderbird on my windows partition. KMail on my Linux partition.

I personally prefer KMail the most. Of course, if I wasn't a KDE user as well then I may not be so drawn to it.

I also blogged about KMail a little while ago: http://blog.andy-roberts.net/2006/05/06 … underbird/

@arooaroo: I totally agree with you on the 3 small reasons.

It's something that everyone gets accustomed to

lumiwa · 2006-08-28 23:07:16

I am still using telnet too but first one is KMail.

T-Dawg · 2006-08-28 23:14:26

sylpheed because its simple, lightweight and works 100% of the time.

McQueen · 2006-08-28 23:17:11

Kmail. I mostly use KDE and it is so well integrated into that environment I would be at odds of how to use another client and still get that degree of functionality. However, I will say that I still love M2 and will occasionally use it for certain types of correspondence.

Snowman · 2006-08-29 00:01:27

I ssh to my university account where I use pine.

Dusty · 2006-08-29 00:23:30

I have every one of my e-mail accounts forwarded to gmail.

Used to be I just used my browser (firefox) but since I've discovered Thunderbirds webmail extension, I'm starting to use that, its pretty awesome.

Thunderbird for life!

evolutin with gmail

eXire · 2006-08-29 08:57:53

Thunderbird

onearm · 2006-08-29 09:17:37

Wow, never thought there were so many Thunderbird users.
Anyway, I'm mutt user ;-)

Tatey · 2006-08-29 14:49:12

I've been using Thunderbird since it was first released. I'm just happy with it's junk mail controls, and I think it's a solid client.

mucknert · 2006-08-29 15:35:01

Wow, I would not have imagined that Evolution has that few users. Or perhaps Evolution-Users just do not like to take polls, who knows? Well, for me it is muttng with msmtp because I think that you should not be forced into using X11 for just reading your mail. Apart from that, Thunderbird, KMail, Evolution and Sylpheed are GREAT applications. Linux-User must be the happiest Mailers in the world.

Arch Linux
