Hey Q,
Why do you use Claws mail instead of TB or SM? What features does it
have that they don't? (I'm assuming that you use it for features
that SM or TB don't have . . . or is it just "personal preference"?)
I haven't compared any feature with recent versions of SM or TB, and I
don't think comparisons of Claws Mail with obsolete Mozilla products
would do any good. I have TB 3 installed, but so far I've only looked
at how it handles rss, not mail or news.
The Claws Mail site has a lengthy features list. If you're interested
in any of them, ping me in m.general and I'll answer whatever I can
about them.
So, why do you use SM instead of Claws Mail? ;)
Am just messing with SM to see if I like it any better than FF or TB,
which are actually my defaults. So far, I'm staying with FF and TB, but
I want to give SM a full and fair evaluation, so I'm still messing with
it. I may do the same thing with Claws, which is why I asked you the
question. If Claws is not substantially different than TB, in features,
I figure then why bother?
I have this NG subscribed in SM alone just so I can mess with SM and see
how it works with NG's . . . that's why you see the SM User Agent here.
I have m.general, m.s. thunderbird, and m.s.firefox subscribed in TB.
The main disadvantage of SM that I see right now is that a lot of addons
that I use with FF are not compatible with SM (2.02) . . . I guess it
may be just a case of the addon developers getting around to updating
for this release.
However, one significant drawback for me for SM is the incompatibility
with TMP. Unlike Phillip, I use tabs a lot. On the developer forum for
TMP, the developer said he would NEVER make a TMP for SM. That may end
up to be a deal breaker for me for SM unless I can find settings in SM
that give me what I use TMP for. Am drifting off topic here, so I won't
go into the TMP features I want.
Anyway, to get back on topic, I'd really like to know if Claws has any
"slick" features that TB doesn't have before I clutter up my machine
with an installation.
I've looked on the Claws Mail site at the features (before I asked you
the question), and so far I haven't seen anything that sticks out as
being above TB (or SM for that matter) . . . which is another reason why
I asked you the question. But I'll look again, and if I see anything
that I think needs more clarification, I may take you up on your offer
(just be aware, as I said, that you will see TB as my UA in m.general).
And thanks for the offer . . . though I'd be even more appreciative if
you could tell me what Claws has to offer above TB.
BJ
