I'm using Sylpheed here. It requires Gtk 2 (which should be fine when you're using Gnome anyway), and it stores mails in MH format (quite comparable to Maildir). Related to TB, it's still very lightweight. There has also been a Gtk 1 version (much more lightweight), but I think it's already out of ports, and its UTF-8 support does not exist. However, it's even faster than the current version. :-) Remember that it's a MUA. It's not a calendar, not a web browser, not a multimedia player and not a PDF viewer. (But you can interface it to open content based on file type by using external programs, such as xmms, xpdf, xzgv etc.). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

With 'maildir' and '-apple' added, I found several product names I recognized on the first page of items. _I_ don't use a point-and-drool mail client so I can't commennt on any of them, but 'mutt' for example, running in an xterm (or a putty client), *is* mouse aware. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

maybe not truly freebsd related
by possibly someone can help. I want to use FreeBSD as timeshared server with some amount of X terminal (basically for free with old computers, netboot, running just Xorg -query and xdm on server). There is usable software that have the commonly required uselessness (called desktop environment) and yet works at tolerable speed and uses tolerable amount of resources - i mean gnome2 there are working and available programs for "common" needs like abiword, gnumeric, optionally openoffice, gimp, firefox etc.. etc.. But yet - what graphical mail program can you recommend that have such simple basic functionality of local mail support in Maildir format? Just running thunderbird to connect dovecot(imap) over localhost and having duplicated mail indexes (dovecot and thunderbird) isn't something that make sense. i use pine but people like point&click. if there are none, is there a method to alter password setting in thunderbird using command line tool. just i don't like loggin on over X11 to change password in thunderbird after changing it with passwd. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
