When I had kmail issues back in the day of early akonadi times (remember Alan’s thread about data loss from then?), I tried out mutt and I’ve been using it ever since. I configured it to my liking re. list layout, sidebar, shortcuts, editing and so on. I still use KMail these days, quite often too. But it has a few drawbacks and annoying little bugs that I encounter regularly, which is one reason for staying with mutt. Another is that mutt is much much faster when dealing with big directories such as lists. Still, there is no better graphical alternative in KDE land. Thunderbird & Co don’t fit in optically, Trojita is too limited. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.
