One of trillion issues I've got, the MUA doesn't detect what account to use, doesn't filter mails correctly, for the topic see below.

If alacarte shouldn't do what it should do try the following. I got rid of many issues by deleting ~/.cache. On Xubuntu mailing list somebody mentioned "I found a bug for this. It is specific to Xubuntu. alacarte writes the menu file to the wrong name on Xubuntu. I just copied my ~/.config/menus/applications.menu file to xfce-applications.menu file and it now works fine." I didn't test that until now, I'll test FreeBSD and look out for Linux solutions without X. Nowadays it takes 3 seconds for startup, but 30 seconds to open an email. Desktop environments for both Ubuntu Studio and Ubuntu 12.10 are a PITA on my machine, following other mailing lists, this is for Debian and Arch Linux also an issue. If the reader should be used to read PDF files only, then I also recommend to use an open source application, but perhaps the proprietary thingy is able to do something else.
