Now, now, that is not fair. I don't think the ICQ designers had anything to do with it. :) Serioulsy, the UI isn't that bad. It may not be what M$ does, but noone said that is any better. The one thing I don't like about The Bat is the free-caret editor. If you didn't like The Bat you could try Pegasus, but it's UI also doesn't look very M$'ish. > I don't mind using a unix mail client like mutt or whatever, but when you > need to check multiple pop3 accounts and reply from any one of about 10 > email addresses, a Windows client makes life so much easier... Oh, does it? I know you can check multiple accounts from OE, but is it that easy to reply using different From addresses? I don't really want to go into how you can do that under Linux, but you probably know that it is possible with CLI tools, too. Get mails with fetchmail, sort them into folders with procmail (automatically) and read/write mails with Pine. Pine supports "roles", ie. different From addresses you can select. Pretty handy. Then there are a lot of new email clients. You might check some of the out. I know that KMail can handle multiple POP accounts but KMail sucks. I'd give Slypheed a chance. Florian. P.S.: If somebody wants this to be taken of list, just say so. I'm happy to obliege. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
