I've read good reports about Claws-mail. Perhaps a subscriber to this list has used it and can comment further.
I've been using claws mail for many years (at least 6) and would have stayed with it forever if I'd not finally got around to trying mutt :D It supports HTML viewing via a few plugins but most importantly, can simply strip the HTML components and display text only versions automatically (for quick and easy reply, quoting etc). It is the most flexible GUI mail client I've ever used, and the only GUI one I've found that allows for fairly easy header manipulation. It has a fairly powerful (perhaps overly so) filtering and processing system (filtering, pre-processing, post-processing etc). It handles my mail effortlessly, though my entire pool is only 2G or so. I currently have ~9000 email in my inbox, and one folder has 24552 ( LUV Main :P ). Finally, I like it's shorthand search feature that supports some primitive logical operators, eg: t luv-main@ & f russell@ & b claws Regards, -- Todd Harbour ~o~
