1 GB of mail is certainly fine -- claws-mail managed much more than this on an old thinkpad x20 (a P3 machine) much faster than I expected. It really is a wonderful, lightweight program. I still use it happily on this X200 (a dual core machine).
I actually prefer filtering with my various gmail accounts then forwarding a catch-all gmail account. I understand you've grown to hate it but I'm still impressed with the mobile gmail's speed and the convenience of one check-in, multiple from accounts, and so on. Anyway, I'm a fan of claws-mail and would love to give more feedback, but I'm not quite sure what information you're looking for... lo On Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 4:08 PM, Lynda <[email protected]> wrote: > I've posted this on some less trafficked lists, and am now branching > out, in hopes of answers. > > I admit it.
