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

codemac · 2006-08-29 18:24:38

I voted mutt, but muttng is what I actually use.

scrawler · 2006-08-30 01:49:52

sylpheed-claws, here, using emacs (gnuclient) for composing.

thunderbird using gmail pop, because i'm used to it (from windows)...

any pointers on where to get started on setting up a good spam filter (spamassasin or whatever)?

Gmail

Moparx · 2006-08-30 05:17:40

I use muttng

patroclo7 · 2006-08-30 08:20:09

getmail (to receive through pop3 from gmail) + procmail (to filter and deliver) + mutt (to browse) + vim (to write) + esmtp (to deliver local mail and to send ougoing mail to gmail smtp server).
Esmtp is the only lightweight smtp client who is also able to deliver local mail.

Hmm, almost two the same topics

I just replied the following:

Here another Sylpheed user
I have used thunderbird as emailclient, but switched to sylpheed about a year ago. Then I found sylpheed-claws and switched to that one. Made cvs builds about every day....
That time it looked like the development of sylpheed was almost dead. At this moment sylpheed is fully alive again and most of the features of sylpheed-claws are also available in sylpheed.
So, I switched back to the good old Sylpheed
The strength of Sylpheed;
- a small, light and fast email client with most features you want built in.

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?

it's actually what one would expect. Only gnome users, and then only part of them use evolution on Arch. On Arch much people prefer light weight wm / email clients. Evolution does have a large user base, only most of those users are using gnome based distros like fc and ubuntu.

Right now, gmail.

But how I long for imap and mutt.

Get yourself fetchmail (to download mail to a local maildir), procmail (for download-time filtering), and courier-imap (to read your maildir through imap). Easy

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/

I also migrated from Thunderbird to KMail.

RedShift · 2006-09-11 18:21:04

I use thunderbird but have been looking for a long time to switch to another email client. I've been looking alot at kmail lately, there are some things I don't like but it's highly configurable.

For remote reading I have my computer set up as a NX server.

dadexter · 2006-09-11 18:53:44

muttng counts as mutt, right? :twisted:

tomfitzyuk · 2006-09-11 21:53:21

I use muttng because it's light, configurable and is totally keyboard oriented.

I'm undecided as to how I'm going to handle emails. I have an account at gmail which I primarily use; however, if gmail suddenly decided to stop their service, I'd be screwed.

I've recently enrolled into uni (well, this morning) and have been given an email address. However, what will happen when I leave uni? I'll be screwed.

It seems my only viable option is to get my own domain and forward email from the accounts on my domain to, either my gmail account or uni account.

iBertus · 2006-09-12 02:39:54

I use web based mail for both my gmail and my work account (university netmail).

fluorite · 2006-09-12 12:08:36

thunderbird and gmail

rhfrommn · 2006-09-12 15:40:31

Yahoo mail and gmail for me. My wife uses thunderbird on the rare occasions when she logs in to linux.

kasa · 2006-09-12 15:56:58

Thunderbird and Kmail/Kontact for me.

Maybe I'll try evolution when Gnome 2.16 will be packaged.

dadexter · 2006-09-12 17:19:04

muttng + getmail + procmail + msmtp for me

Manifold · 2006-09-15 06:39:43

I love the G-Mail web interface.

Ditto, mutt really is great... I love the strong support it has with PGP... and mailing lists.

ToastedToad · 2006-09-24 03:52:41

gmail and sylpheed-claws

Kenetixx · 2006-10-01 06:20:19

Sylpheed for me because its fast

xenobrain · 2006-10-01 16:54:31

I use Opera's mail client. It works great and is wonderfully integrated with the browser I have open pratically 24hrs a day.

detto · 2006-10-01 17:21:49

evolution here (2.8 ) . i like the clean look and easy email account setup. sure it needs ~3 seconds to start, but that doenst matter me.
