I'm using the Windows version on my Laptop, but still have M18
on my main (FreeBSD) box. After looking at the revised roadmap
on the mozilla site, I'm waiting for the 0.7 "best of December"
release.
The GUI is now really pretty, and nearly as functional as you
could want, but is still painfully slow: too much seems to be
re-computed on the fly. You can even see the main drop-down
menus re-arrange themselves as they're drawn, sometimes.
Even so, it has the current best GUI mailer that I've seen
except for two issues: it has a bug when talking to a
courier-imap server, and it doesn't do PGP. The courier-imap
issue is weird. When you press the "get new mail" button, or
it does a periodic mailbox scan, it puts up a whinge dialog box
saying that the server has complained about an error in the imap
command. Turning on logging reveals that that's because M18 has
asked for a range of messages that starts from -1536 or so! I
had a quick peek into the code to see if I could figure out why
it would do such a thing, but it's a weird, horrible mix of C
and javascript (!) and none of it made any sense.
