This took me back to ages when I had asked a similar question. I had used Sylpheed, did'nt work out of the box with gmail, had to recompile with ssl enabled. But I am sure that is there by default. There is another client called *Claws Mail* not sure if it is a fork of *Sylpheed*, but is supposed to have better functionality and plugins. -- Gaurav (Dexter) Pant -- ------------------------------------------- http://OpenSourceCook.in If you can cook, you can code. > > Karunakar > > ------------------------ > Powered by BigRock.com _______________________________________________ plug-mail mailing list [email protected] http://list.plug.org.in/listinfo/plug-mail
