Re: [PLUG] good linux mail clients

["K.S. Bhaskar" <bhaskar@bhaskars.com>]

Not quite an answer to the question that was asked, but why not run something like Dovecot locally, and have it sync with an upstrem mail server? ÂYou can then access it pretty much any way you want, with thunderbird today, mutt tomorrow, and the (still non-existent) bifurcated kumquat mail server the day after.

+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.
