Not audio related, but I'll probably get better advice here than
anywhere else.
Just wondering which mail clients you use? I spent too much time today
fighting with Evolution and Thunderbird.
Evolution's queuing of server requests is atrocious. One big message
when the Internet connection is not really speedy hijacks the whole app
and you can't look at anything else until it's done. Totally unusable.
Thunderbird's online/off-line settings don't do exactly what I want. I
want to download the headers first and then have the client persist the
mail content after I read the message. That's because I don't want to
wait for hours while the client insists on downloading all 10,000
messages in my gmail box, and I also want to be able to use the messages
if I happen not to be online (if I written previously).
Plus fonts in Thunderbird are hell. E.g., I set my compose-mail font to
small size. Then when I replied to an HTML message, the size appeared in
the menu as xx-large. That's amateur-hour stuff, totally crazy that they
expect to be competitive with nonsense like that.
At this point, I don't want to install any other packages until I have a
better idea what it can actually do for me, and I trust you folks better
than Web searches.
Thanks!
James
