can anyone kindly recommend a decent GUI imap client? I used KMail

compliments in it's address, since the times of stuphead). Well, it
turned out to be an ugly one: has a nasty habit of coredumping a
dozen
times per day, never saves any preferences, completely untunable
(hell,
I can't even change the vertical dimension of so-called 'Folder' list
-- what a waste of space!), just riddled with bugs. Not very
usable :(
Is there a kind of compromise between KMail and sylpheed? (or
something
original wouldn't hurt either ;)
For some values of "decent", there's mulberry. It's been through some
rough times recently though and its status is somewhat uncertain.
Mulberry also has a flavour some find not to their linking (that is,
it's pig-ugly).
Cyrus released it as free-as-in-beer recently, and has announced that
he's trying to open source it as soon as he can get all necessary
rights together. The Linux binary (used to) run just fine on 4 and 5.
