Re: [PLUG] good linux mail clients

+1 for K-9 on Android. It supports gpg. I installed it for this reason alone. As far as Zimbra goes, I downloaded it and installed it. It's not what I'm looking for. All that java stuff really slows down my PC. It seems like a neat concept, but Mutt sounds like the best bet for what I'm trying to do.

+1. I've been using mutt for a few years. It obviously takes some getting
used to, but when it comes to dealing with large amounts of mail adeptly,
nothing else is even close.

mutt *can* render html mail, so you can read it without seeing tags and
whatnot, but most formatting other than basic layout, bold, etc is lost.
Still, its good enough for 98% of the mail I get. All the rest generally
have a "view as a web page" link anyway.
