Hello Rui, thanks for your mail. I'm forwarding this to the ubuntu-motu list and hope we find somebody who's interested to work with you on this.
Have a nice day, Daniel
--- Begin Message ---Hello First of all i've been an Ubuntu user since the Bredzy version. It was however in Dapper, that the idea of creating Xubuntu came to life, and i've made Xubuntu my number one system since then. Since the release of Xubuntu dapper, it was my surprise that it came with Mozilla Thunderbird, making it to much heavy for low end machines, and it often blocks too (probably because it is not a native GTK+ app). So since that the Xubuntu comunity was asking for a more lightweight email client, and Claws Email appeared as a possible solution. I'm representing a growing group of users that would like to make claws mail the default email client for Xubuntu because it is in my opinion as full featured as Thunderbird, and mainly because one of the key developers of the Claws mail, Colin Leroy offered is suport to the Xubuntu team for enhancing Xubuntu user experiences. The support was offered in the following thread: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1977735 That Discussion was after spread to the Xubuntu dev mailin list: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2007-January/thread.html I even launched the following feature proposal on Launchpad: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/xubuntu-email-client-replacement Almost all the users agreed that the replacement take place, however it is needed an Ubuntu MOTU, to maintain the package. That is why i'm sending this email to you, asking if u can spread this info to anyone who is MOTU who could be interested. I think that the maintainance of these packages wouldn't be many troubling since Claws Mail developers have been providing Ubuntu packages, and giving some support for the latest Ubuntu releases like dapper and edgy on their official site. Even if Claws mail doesn't make it to the Xubuntu release as default, it would be a good competion for thunderbird and other emails, and we could all benefit with that, taking advantage of the Claws mail team cooperation. This is if a MOTU takes responsability of Claws mail. Thanks for your time Best Regards Rui Oliveira
