Opera M2.

Opera M2 for personal mail and Kmail for mailing lists.

I've just started using:
mutt + getmail + msmtp

I was surprised at the simplistic config files of each. I screwed around with nbsmtp for a long time, but eventually gave up and went with msmtp. Excellence.

1. Can run in system tray w/notifiers.
2. Kwallet available for encrypted passwd mgt.
3. Auto import keys and certificates.
4. Auto sign messages w/key.
5. Other various configuration options....

Kmail, once configured that IMAP resource functionality in Groupware tab I can have resources set to store my addressbook and calendar files on a IMAP server, just like emails...
So I can have same contacts and calendar entries at home and work... I mean, really, nobody ever find that usefull?
I tried thunderbird and synckolab that should have same effect but it did not work while ago. Maybe another try soon.

Opera M2 also. works almost better than its browser counterpart.

Opera!

I'm new to Linux, Opera was one of the main selling points for me to switch over to Linux (I used Opera for both web and email in windows)

What I haven't found is a replacement for ePrompter, I really liked it.

yeah - I still have to set mine up - I got some bitching from the getmail people when I sent them a class to allow simple sorting for ML threads... (getmail runs regex's over the headers for different things anyway - no real extra work)
anyway they bitched at me saying "this can be done in procmail/maildrop - your 10 lines of python is stupid"
sigh... I'd much rather add 10 lines of code to something like simple sorting...
so I'm going to setup fetchmail when I get a chance.

Someone made a patch for getmail called filtergetmail (i think). I havent' really tried it now.

I'm now using getmail + maildrop == ridiculously easy

Recently i switched from pine to mutt plus fetchmail, procmail, msmtp. mutt can better handle multiple remote pop3 accounts.
works like a charm

mutt + procmail + getmail + esmtp. I like esmtp, since it is able both to deliver the ordinary emails to my external gmail SMTP server (with STARTTLS support) and to deliver local mail (from cronjobs and so on): I think that local mail is an important feature in linux, only in very small system where installing a complex MTA as sendmail or postfix would be ot of place.
Esmtp is the only lightweight MTA replacement (there are many others: ssmtp, msmtp, nbsmtp...) which supports also local mail delivery.

Arch Linux
