This will be a recommendation which most likely nobody else will support, but here we go... I like having newsgroups and mail in a single program. While there's nothing outstanding about its e-mail side, it's certainly usable, but Forte Agent (which runs just fine on Debian via WINE) is head and shoulders the best news client I have ever found. When I switched to Linux on retirement (having previously been paid to use Windows) I did the rounds of the various mail clients. Kmail, Claws, Thunderbird, you name it. I detest webmail, largely because, living where I do, I have no option but satellite internet access, and that really sucks. Whatever I've tried, I've always come back to Forte Agent. Yes, it's Windows program. Yes, it's closed source, and they WON'T release the database format. Yes, it costs money ($29 for a new registration). Despite all those negatives, I still regard it as the best $29 I ever spent, and I've been using the program for almost 20 years now. >http://www.forteinc.com/main/homepage.php Usual disclaimer applies, no vested interest, just a very happy customer.
