The only mail client which comes anywhere near to TB! for Linux is Thunderbird ... and those of us who have used it aren't impressed. I have been told that clients like Claws and Sylpheed can be customized by scripting ... which is great, if you have been using LInux long enough to be a script wizard. If not, they are very nearly unusable. Seriously, there is no serious free mail client for Linux. There are a couple of commercial clients I haven't tested, but I've tried all the free offerings I could find. Some of them won't even load ... if anyone knows of a *functional* Linux client I've missed, I'll start testing again. Gnome and KDE have clients, but the KDE client is a poor effort to out outlook outlook, and I have been totally unable to figure out how to configure it for multiple accounts. If it recognizes them at all it dumps them all into one inbox. It is also painfully slow. I don't use Gnome, so on that YMMV, and no, I don't propose to go to Gnome for one app, period, endit. A TB! port to Linux would be wonderful, but I don't know how many among the Linux community would be willing to buy a mail client. I would, of course ;-) -- Lynn :Hawthorne: :usflag: :canadaflag: theli...@comcast.net * * * Aun Aprendo I'd rather be WARP'ed * * * OpenSuse 12.1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
